This graduated cylinder has numbers representing milliliters. A student says that the volume of the liquid inside is 21.8 millil

iters.
What best explains why the student is wrong?

21.8 is at the top of the meniscus, but volume should be measured in the middle of the meniscus.
21.8 is at the top of the meniscus, but volume should be measured at the bottom of the meniscus.
Since the lines are only marked with whole numbers, the student must round to a whole number.
Since the whole numbers represent milliliters, the student must use a unit smaller than milliliters.

Answer:

The answer for this question depends on the type of meniscus in the cylinder. If it is an upright meniscus like in water, the reading should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus. However if it is an inverted meniscus like in mercury, the reading should be taken at the top of the meniscus.

What is the energy of a single photon of blue light with a wavelength of 488 nm (488 × 10-9 m)?
Vinvika [58]
E = hf

c = speed of electromagnetic wave, c ≈ 3 * 10⁸ m/s, 
Planck's constant h = 6.63 *10⁻³⁴ Js

h = Planck's constnat,  Frquency, f = c/λ = (3*10⁸)/(488*10⁻⁹)

E = hf

E = hc/λ

E = (6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ * 3 * 10⁸) /(488 * 10⁻⁹)

Energy, E ≈ 4.0758 * 10⁻¹⁹  Joules.

A system receives 575 ) of heat and delivers 425 ) of work. Calculate the change in the internal energy. AE, of the system.​
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

ΔE = 150 J

Explanation:

From first law of thermodynamics, we know that;

ΔE = q + w

Where;

ΔE is change in internal energy

q is total amount of heat energy going in or coming out

w is total amount of work expended or received

From the question, the system receives 575 J of heat. Thus, q = +575 J

Also, we are told that the system delivered 425 J of work. Thus, w = -425 J since work was expended.

Thus;

ΔE = 575 + (-425)

ΔE = 575 - 425

ΔE = 150 J

Calculate the theoretical yield of glycolysis and complete glucose breakdown
rusak2 [61]
Eukaryotic cells, the theoretical maximum yield of ATP generated per glucose is 36 to 38, depending on how the 2 NADH generated in the cytoplasm during glycolysis enter the mitochondria and whether the resulting yield is 2 or 3 ATP per NADH

How will the concentration of H+ and OH− ions change when a substance with a pH 3.2 is added to water? Both H+ and OH− will incr
Lunna [17]
Also water H2O is made of H+ and OH- ions. so when an acidic substance is added to water the concentration of H+ ions increase.
