distilled water

Explanation:

Some students investigated osmosis in raw potato sticks. The students measured the mass of three potato sticks using an electronic balance. The students left each potato stick in one of the three different liquids for 5 hours:i. distilled water. ii. dilute sodium chloride solution. iii. concentrated sodium chloride solution. After 5 hours they measured the mass again and calculated the change in mass. 1. Predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick. 2. After the experiment, the students noticed that the potato stick with the lowest mass was soft and floppy. Explain why the potato stick had become soft and floppy. 3. The students followed the same experimental procedure with boiled potato sticks and found no overall change in mass in any of the solutions. Suggest why the mass of the boiled potato sticks remained the same.

Zolol [24]

The water from the lake must first evaporate from the liquid state to the gaseous state and then condense in the air to form vapors.
The water molecules absorb energy while evaporating and release it when condensing. Their motion gets faster when they are evaporating and slows back down upon condensation.

Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C

Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation: The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

$CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}$

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.

Consider the following reaction: 2CH3OH ---> 2CH4+O2 delta H= +252.8kJ. Calculate the amount of heat transferred when 22.0g o

nydimaria [60]

To calculate the amount of heat transferred when an amount of reactant is decomposed, we must look at the balanced reaction and its corresponding heat of reaction. In this case, we can see that 252.8 kJ of heat is transferred per 2 moles of CH3OH used. When 22 g of CH3OH is used, 86.9 kJ is absorbed.

Individual measurements introduce errors that may be large or small depending on the quality of the tools and processes used. Sc

kirill [66]

Answer:

B. accepted value x 0.1

Explanation:

in the equation provided

$Percentage Error=\frac{Error}{AcceptedValue} X100$

Maximum allowed value of percentage error = 10%

put this value in the equation in stead of percentage error we get,

$10 = \frac{error}{AcceptedValue} X100\\ \frac{10}{100} =\frac{error}{AcceptedValue}\\.1=\frac{error}{AcceptedValue}\\error = .1 X Accepted Value$

so maximum error = .1 x accepted value

10 % percentage error means the experimental value has 10 % error compared to accepted value.so error will be 10 % of the accepted value

or .1 times of accepted value
