Answer:

After about 6 to 8 hours, the white flowers begins to develop red spots near the edge of the petals.

When the stems were cut, coloured water was observed along the length of the stem.

Explanation:

In the experiment, red ink was placed in the beaker of water and a red-coloured water was obtained. Then the tender twig of a flowery plant (e.g. carnation) with leaves and white flowers was placed in the beaker. After about 6 to 8 hours, the white flowers began to develop red spots near the edge of the petals. When the stems were cut, coloured water was observed along the length of the stem. The observations in this experiment is due to the fact that the stem conducted the water and the ink through the xylem up to the leaves. On getting to the leaves, the water evaporates from the leaves in a process known as transpiration leaving behind the red ink. This ink then appears as the red spots on the leaves.

The process of transpiration in the leaves results in the continuous conduction of water from the stem to leaves, and hence, the appearance of more coloured spots with time.

A 133.8-gram sample of bronze was 10.3% tin by mass. Determine the total mass of tin in the sample.
Kay [80]
You just need to multiply the total mass by the decimal value of the part that is tin. 133.8*0.103=13.8g (following the rules of significant figures).
