Answers

Answer 1

Fogging a mirror with your breath is a physical change because it involves a phase change of water vapor condensing and adsorbing to the mirror surface. Phase changes are physical changes.

Breaking a bone is a physical change insofar as we're focusing on the  "breaking" part.

Mending a broken bone, however, is a different story. Bones are living things: They consist of tissues that in turn consist of cells. The actual mending process involves some very complicated biochemistry. Suffice it to say that mending a broken bone would be a chemical change.

Burning paper is a chemical change. Burning anything implies combustion, which is a chemical reaction where some fuel is oxidized (usually by oxygen gas, producing carbon dioxide gas and water vapor).

Slicing potatoes for fries is a physical change. You can slice, dice, smash, mash, stretch, bend, compress, or grind a potato: What you will have is still a potato (okay, there are some chemical changes going on as you're rupturing cells in the process, causing them to release their contents which may participate in chemical reactions). But the key, again, is that cutting up some material doesn't fundamentally change the chemical identity of that material.

Mixing sugar with coffee actually involves two physical processes: the mixing and the (presumed) solvation of the solid sugar particles as they dissolve into the coffee. In either case, either mixing or dissolving would be a physical change. The sugar molecules are still in the coffee and are chemically unchanged.

Frying chicken is a chemical change. In fact, frying chicken likely entails several different types of chemical changes. The common thread among them is that frying involves breaking chemical bonds in and on the chicken by the addition of thermal energy, and new chemical bonds end up being formed. That's the hallmark of a chemical change.

A nail rusting is a chemical change. Rusting is an electrochemical process; the familiar corrosion of iron into rust is, at bottom, a chemical reaction where iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxides (often catalyzed by the presence of water and salts).

A paper ripping is analogous to slicing potatoes: it's a physical change. If you ripped one sheet of paper into two halves, each half would retain all the chemical properties of the original sheet.

Likewise, wood burning is analogous to burning paper, and as such is a chemical change. Again, combustion is a chemical process.

As we said earlier with sugar in coffee, mixing in itself is a physical process. While it may seem like you've permanently changed the nature of the water by dyeing it with food coloring, the molecules comprising the food coloring are simply dispersed within the vast sea of water molecules. There are no intramolecular bonds that are broken or formed; the chemical identities of all the substances here are preserved. So, this is a physical change.

Food molding (rotting) is a chemical change. Rotting is biochemical decomposition: the chemical bonds that make up the food are broken down by enzymes released by the mold.

Writing on paper, whether it be with a pen, pencil, crayon, or marker, is a physical change. The molecules from the writing instrument are physically stuck to the paper. But unless you're writing on paper by, say, burning letters onto it, there are no chemical changes occurring when the writing instrument meets the paper.

As with writing on paper, dyeing fabric can be a physical change. The dye consists of molecules that interact with light in a way that we perceive a certain color. When dyeing fabric, these molecules are transferred and fixed into the fabric by adsorption, absorption, and other intermolecular phenomena. But the molecules of the dye (and the molecules in the fabric) don't experience any breaking and forming of bonds. All of the substances involved retain their chemical identities.

However, it's possible that, depending on the dye, there may be chemical changes involved. Some dyes, appropriate named "reactive dyes," undergo chemical reactions with their substrate (which, in this case, would be the fabric), or dyes may be used that undergo chemical reactions with one another, both of which would constitute chemical changes. And it can depend on what you mean by "dyeing": Bleaching a colored shirt can technically be conceived of as "dyeing" the shirt white, and this process involves cleavage of bonds within the color-producing molecules in the fabric by reacting with the molecules in the bleach.

So, for dyeing fabric, it can be a physical or chemical change depending on the dye.

please mark my anSwEr as brainlist

Answer:

In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down without oxygen. The chemical reaction transfers energy from glucose to the cell. Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid, rather than carbon dioxide and water. Unfortunately this can lead to painful muscle cramps.

Explanation: Living things need energy for everything they do, including growing and reproducing. This energy comes from glucose. All animals and humans get glucose through eating it, but plants need to make their own glucose during photosynthesis.

Plants and animals transport glucose and oxygen to tiny structures in their cells, called mitochondria. Here, the glucose and oxygen take part in a chemical reaction. The reaction is called aerobic respiration, and it produces energy which transfers to the cells.

Aerobic respiration makes two waste products:carbon dioxide and water. Animals remove carbon dioxide from their bodies when they breathe out. In daytime, plants use some of this carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. At night, they release the carbon dioxide to their surroundings.

What are the two types of microscopes?
+

Answers

Answer:

1) The light microscope. The common light microscope used in the laboratory is called a compound microscope because it contains two types of lenses that function to magnify an object. The lens closest to the eye is called the ocular, while the lens closest to the object is called the objective. Most microscopes have on their base an apparatus called a condenser, which condenses light rays to a strong beam.

2) Other light microscopes. In addition to the familiar compound microscope, microbiologists use other types of microscopes for specific purposes. These microscopes permit viewing of objects not otherwise seen with the light microscope.

3) The fluorescent microscope uses ultraviolet light as its light source. When ultraviolet light hits an object, it excites the electrons of the object, and they give off light in various shades of color. Since ultraviolet light is used, the resolution of the object increases. A laboratory technique called the fluorescent‐antibody technique employs fluorescent dyes and antibodies to help identify unknown bacteria.

The sugar solution that is the most concentrated is 15 g of sugar in 25 mL of water.

CONCENTRATION:

The concentration of a solution is related to the amount of a substance and its volume.

The concentration of a solution is directly proportional to the amount of a substance but inversely proportional to the volume.

This means that the concentration increases with an increasing amount of substance but decreases with an increasing volume.

According to this question, 15g of sugar is the highest amount and it dissolves in 25mL of water, which is the lowest volume. Therefore, it is the most concentrated sugar solution.

What is an ideal gas equation?

The ideal gas equation, pV = nRT, is an equation used to calculate either the pressure, volume, temperature or number of moles of a gas.

Using the ideal gas equation

PV =nRT

Where P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant (R = 0.08206 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹)

T is the temperature.

From the given information

V =?

n = 7.59

and at STP

P = 1 atm

T = 273 K

Putting the parameters into the formula, we get

PV =nRT

1 atm x V = 7.59 mol x 0.08206 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 273 K

V = 170.034 L

a. What is the mass of the products?

Answers

Answer:  Thus mass of products is 177.2 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

[tex]AgNO_3+NaCl\rightarrow NaNO_3+AgCl[/tex]

mass of silver nitrate [tex](AgNO_3)[/tex] = 124.31 g

mass of sodium chloride [tex](NaCl)[/tex] = 52.89 g

mass of reactants = mass of silver nitrate [tex](AgNO_3)[/tex] +

mass of sodium chloride  [tex](NaCl)[/tex] = 124.31 g + 52.89 g = 177.2 g

Thus mass of products = mass of reactants = 177.2 g
