Brilliant_brown [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The molecular formula of a compound represents molecular mass of the substance. For example, the molecular mass of water molecule (H2O) is 18u.

(iv) The molecular formula of any compound gives the name, and actual number of atoms of each kind present in one molecule of the substance. For example, the formula for water is H2O. This means that every molecule of water is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

During a 4 hour trip, a boat sailed 70 km in 2 h. Then the boat did not move for 1 hour and traveled 26 km in the last hour. Wha
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

32km/hr

Explanation:

The question asks to calculate the average speed for a boat.

Mathematically, the average speed is the total distance divided by the total time

Let’s get the total distance traveled:

That would be 70km + 26km = 96km

Now the total time taken would be 3 as the boat did not move at all for an hour.

The average speed is thus 96/3 = 32km/hr

(b) Briefly explain how the presence of charged ions in ionic solids such as NaCl(s) helps to explain why NaCl(s) is a soluble i
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

-The stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions causes the Sodium chloride to break apart until it completely dissolves in the water.

Explanation:

-Sodium Chloride has positively charged sodium ions, Na^+ and negatively charged chloride ions, Cl^-.

-Water on the other hand has positively charged Hydrogen ions,H^+ and negatively charged Oxygen ions, O^{2-} due to the difference in electroneganivity.

-When dissolved in water, the positively charged sodium ions will attract the partially negatively charged oxygen ions. The negatively charged chloride ions will be attracted to the positively charged hydrogen ions in the reaction as below:

NaCl+H_2O->NaOH+HCL\\\\Na^++Cl^-+H_2O->Na^++(OH)^-+H^++Cl^-

Answer:

1.Nucleus  2.Cytoplasm 3. Vacuoles 4.chloroplasts 5. Body Cell 6. Cell Wall 7. Membrane

Explanation:

  1. The nucleus is the control center of the cell.
  2. The jelly-like substance inside the cell is called as cytoplasm.
  3. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells.
  4. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.
  5. The rest of the air is mostly nitrogen (79%). Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar.
  6. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane.
