Answer:

The highly unstable pure sodium or potassium wants to lose an electron and this splits the water atom, producing a negatively charged hydroxide ion and hydrogen and forming an explosive gas that ignites.

There are diffrent types of cells for every job in your body. How do we refer to those cells that develop differently?
kotykmax [81]

<u>Answer:</u>

Those cells that develop differently are referred  to Specialised Cells.

<u> </u><u>Explanation:</u>

Specialised cells are the one that is assigned to perform a specific role. Every specialised cell in the body is assigned to do their own job. The special features in them help them to perform their functions effectively.

Examples of specialised cells are- red blood cells (they are responsible to carry oxygen in the body), nerve cells (specialises in transmitting electrical signals) and muscle cells (brings body parts together).

If a person looking at a poster sees green instead of yellow and doesn't see red at all, this person most likely has color blind
Inga [223]
<span>People with protanopia are unable to sense any ‘red’ light, people with deuteranopia do not sense ‘green’ light and people with tritanopia cannot sense ‘blue’ light. If a person perceives the color green, then the yellow sensitive nerves must work somewhat effectively since green is a combination of yellow and blue. Red-sensitive nerves are most likely not responding properly for this person. The answer is C.</span>

The volume of oxygen, collected over water, is 185 mL at 25 degrees Celsius and 600 torr. calculate the dry volume of the oxygen
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

0.1593 L.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>P₁V₁T₂ = P₂V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

P₁ = 600 torr/760 = 0.789 atm, V₁ = 185.0 mL = 0.185 L, T₁ = 25.0°C + 273 = 298.0 K.

P₂ (at STP) = 1.0 atm, V₂ = ??? L, T₂ (at STP = 0.0°C) = 0.0°C + 273 = 273.0 K.

<em>∴ V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁</em> = (0.789 atm)(0.185 mL)(298.0 K)/(1.0 atm)(273.0 K) = <em>0.1593 L.</em>
