Why does our body need to use both mechanical and chemical digestion when we are breaking down our food?

Chemistry
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Chemical digestion is a vital part of the digestive process. Without it, your body wouldn't be able to absorb nutrients from the foods you eat, also chemical digestion uses enzymes to break down food

mechanical digestion involves physical movements, such as chewing and muscle contractions,

Answer the following questions…
Zina [86]

The concentration of the hydronium ion in hydrochloric acid is 0.0045 M, and the pH of the solution is 2.34.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

pH is the potential of the hydrogen or the hydronium ions in the aqueous solution.

As the solution contains 4.5 \times 10^{-3} \;\rm  M\; HCl the concentration of the hydronium ion will be the same, 4.5 \times 10^{-3} \;\rm  M.

The pH of the solution is calculated as:

\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log[H^{+}]\\\\&= - \rm log (4.5 \times 10^{-3})\\\\&= 2.34\end{aligned}

The concentration of the hydroxide ion is calculated from pH and hydronium ion as:

\begin{aligned} \rm [H_{3}O^{+}][OH^{-}] &= 10^{-14}\\\\&= \dfrac{1 \times 10^{-14}}{4.5 \times 10^{-3}}\\\\&= 2.2 \times 10^{12}\end{aligned}

Now, for the calcium hydroxide solution, the calculations are shown as,

\begin{aligned} \rm (H_3}\rm O^{+}) &= \rm antilog (-pH)\\\\&= \rm antilog (-8)\\\\&= 10^{-8} \;\rm M\end{aligned}

pOH is calculated as:

\begin{aligned} \rm pOH &= 14- 8 = 6\\\\\rm [OH^{-}] &=  \rm antilog (-6)\\\\&= 10^{-6} \end{aligned}

The concentration of calcium hydroxide is calculated as:

\begin{aligned} &= \dfrac{1}{2} \times \rm [OH^{-}]\\\\&= 5 \times 10^{-4} \;\rm M\end{aligned}

Therefore, the pH and the pOH give the concentration of the hydrogen or the hydronium ion and the hydroxide ion.

In which of the following is the solution concentration expressed in terms of molarity?
puteri [66]
Answer:
D. <span>10 mol of solute/ 1L of solution

Explanation:
Molarity is used to express the concentration of the solution. It is expressed as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution

Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution
This means that molarity has the units moles/liter

The only option satisfying this is the last one.

Hope this helps :)</span>

For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), what will happen if more ammonia gas is added?
Furkat [3]
If more ammonia is added... Equilibrium will shift to the left (reactant) according to LCP...

Answer is D

LCP, Le Chateliers Principle would do the opposite to what is to happen such as to re establish equilibrium.

Chadwick's experimental work on the atom led to a better understanding of isotopes.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Chadwick discovered the existence of neutrons which accounts for isotopy.

Isotopes exists because atoms of the same element may differ in the number of neutrons present in each one. This phenomenon is called isotopy.

Chadwick discovered the existence of isotopes by bombarding Beryllium with alpha particles obtained from Polonium decay.

The discovery of the existence of neutrons led us to the a better understanding of isotopes since isotopes differ only in the number of neutrons present.
