Why do we add alcohol/ethanol to the leaf once it is boiled?

Physics
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Complete answer: We boil the leaf in alcohol when we are checking it for starch to eradicate chlorophyll, which is the green pigment present in leaves. ... Hence to dissolve the chlorophyll or the green pigment present in the leaf we boil the leaf in alcohol when we are testing it for starch.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Which process requires more energy: completely vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at 1 atm pressure or completely vaporiz
Lilit [14]
The correct answer would be the first option. The process that would need more energy would be vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. This can be seen from the latent heat of vaporization of each system. For the saturated water at 1 atm, the latent heat is equal to 40.7 kJ per mole while, at 8 atm, the latent heat is equal to 36.4 kJ per mole. The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat needed in order to vaporize a specific amount of substance without any change in the temperature. As we can observe, more energy is needed by the liquid water at 1 atm.

Help with both questions I’ll mark brainliest
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.

A space vehicle is traveling at 5425 km/h relative to the Earth when the exhausted rocket motor (mass 4m) is disengaged and sent
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

V_{cE}=1489m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Space vehicle speed=5425 km/h relative to earth

The rocket motor speed=81 km/h  and mass 4m

The command has mass m

From the conservation of momentum as the system isolated

p_{i}=p_{f}\\

Since the motion in on direction we can drop the unit vector direction

MV_{i}=4mV_{mE}+mV_{CE}

Where M is the mass of space vehicle which equals to sum of the motors mass and command mass.

The velocity of the motor relative to the earth equals the velocity of the motor relative to command plus the velocity of the command relative to earth

V_{mE}=V_{mc}+V_{cE}

Where Vmc is the velocity of motor relative to command

This yields

5mV_{i}=4m(V_{mc}+V_{cE})+mV_{cE}\\5V_{i}=4V_{mc}+5V_{cE}

Substitute the given values

V_{cE}=\frac{5V_{i}-4V_{mc}}{5}\\ V_{cE}=5425*\frac{1000}{60*60}(m/s)-\frac{4}{5}*81\frac{1000}{60*60}(m/s)\\  V_{cE}=1489m/s

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:        Ke = 3000 Joules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 15 kg

speed = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Equation

               Ke = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

               Ke = \frac{1}{2}(15)(20)^{2}

                Ke = 3000 Joules
