Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iodine solution is used to test for starch.  A positive test for starch gives a blue-black color.

The fact that the color of the apple remained the same is indicative of the fact that starch was not contained in the apple.

A change in the color of potato indicates the presence of starch in the potato.

The fact that iodine did not react with apple should not be taken to mean that apples contain no starch at all. Starch changes gradually to sugar as fruits ripen. This is why the apple gave a negative test for starch.

If most objects are made up of free space then why can we put our hands through a book or wall?
Mazyrski [523]
I suppose you mean to ask why we can't go through obstacles.

Any atom is surrounded by an electronic cloud. When two atoms get close to each other, the electronic clouds repel each other, preventing them from interpenetrating each other. That same phenomenon, on a larger scale, prevents us from going through matter.

What identifies a flaw in J. J. Thomson’s model of the atom?
katrin [286]

Answer:

The plum-pudding model did not identify a central nucleus as the source of a positive charge.

Explanation:

Sir Joseph John Thomson, most popularly known as J J Thomson. He was a famous scientist who was awarded the Noble prize for Physics for his discovery of the subatomic particle, electron.

He placed his famous model of an atom which is known as plum pudding model. He proposed that the atoms are described as the negative particles that is floating within a soup of the diffuse positive charge.

But the main defect of his proposal was that it did not recognized the presence of a central nucleus as a positive charged source.

Silicon is a semi-conductor of electricity. explain​
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

A silicon atom has 14 electrons around the nucleus, and of these, there are 4 valence electrons on the outermost orbital. When this is made into a single crystal, it can be used as a material for semiconductor products. When it crystalizes, the nuclei share electrons and they bond with 8 electrons around each nucleus.

A certain vinegar is 6.02% acetic acid (hc2h3o2, by mass. how many grams of acetic acid are contained in a 355 ml bottle of vine
Eddi Din [679]
First, determine the amount of vinegar in grams by multiplying the volume by the density. That is,
                                        mass = (355 ml) x (1.01 g/mL) = 358.55 g
Then, multiply the calculated mass above by the decimal equivalent of the given percentage above. 
                      amount of acetic acid = (358.55 g)(0.0602) = 21.58 g
