Both the esophagus and the small intestine are involved in the digestion of food. The esophagus squeezes food into the stomach by wave-like muscle contractions. Peptidase enzymes in the small intestine break food molecules into smaller molecules.



Which statement best describes changes to food during digestion?

A. The muscle contractions result in physical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in chemical changes.

B. The muscle contractions result in chemical changes, while the peptidase results in physical changes.

C. The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in physical changes.

D. The muscle contractions and the action in the peptidase both result only in chemical changes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: A

Explanation:

The wave-like contractions are to be considered a physical change as they do not take part in the breaking-down of the food. The peptidase is a chemical change because it is used to chemically break down the food to retrieve nutrients and such.

when dilute HCL is added to zinc pieces taken in a test tube​

Answers

Answer:

zince chloride will be formed and hydrogen gas will be librated.

Explanation:

When dilute HCl is added to zinc pieces, a rection will takes place as follows :

[tex]Zn+HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2[/tex]

It means that zinc chloride will form when zinc reacts with dilute HCL. Also hydrogen gas will produced.

As zinc is more reactive than hydrogen, it displaces hydrogen from its solution and forms zinc chloride. The form product is white in color and H₂ is an odorless gas.

Hence, zince chloride will be formed and hydrogen gas will be librated.

When a machine does work, a trade-off occurs. Which of the following best exemplifies this trade-off?

A. A pulley changes the direction of your force, but requires a greater input force.


B. A lever increases output force and the distance the load moves.


C. A wheel and axle increases output force and the distance the load moves.




D. A ramp allows you to decrease force, but requires a greater distance.

Answers

Answer:

A

A pulley changes the direction of your force, but requires a greater input force.

Explanation:

A pulley changes the direction of your force, but requires a greater input force when machine does work. so option A is correct.

What is machine ?

Any tool that makes work easier is a machine. We can complete tasks with the aid of machines by using less force and energy.

By using a simple machine, you can move anything with less effort, but you have to move it farther to do the same amount of labor.

Our bodies function like machinery. For instance, our arms can be compared to a machine that can be utilized to quickly lift objects.

By using a machine to perform work, either the force or the distance across which the force is delivered may rise, but not both at once. In other words, as one grows, either force or distance, the other must decrease. The force-distance trade off is what is meant by this.

Thus, option A is correct.

how many moles of tin are there in 50 g of tin (II) oxide

Answers

Answer:

Moles of tin = 0.37 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of tin oxide = 50 g

Moles of tin = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of SnO:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 50 g/ 134.71 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.37 mol

We can see there is only one mole of Sn is present in one mole of tin oxide.

Thus in 0.37 mol  of tin oxide,

0.37 mol × 1 = 0.37 mol of tin

what would you need to do to calculate the molarity of 10g of NaCl in 2kg of water?
A. convert the 10 g of NaCl to Kg of NaCl
B. Convert the 10g of NaCl to moles of NaCl
C. Convert the 2kg of water to liters of water
D. Convert the 2kg of water to moles of water

Answers

Answer:

B) we will convert the 10 g of NaCl into moles.

Explanation:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

we will convert the 10 g of NaCl into moles.

Number of moles of NaCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 10 g/ 58.44 gmol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

1 Kg = 1 L

Molarity = 0.17 mol / 2 L

Molarity = 0.085 mol/L

Molarity = 0.085 M

Answer:

B. Convert the 10g of NaCl to moles of NaCl

How many grams of NaCl would be required
to react with 346 mL of 0.607 M AgNO3
solution?

Answers

Answer:

Mass = 12.27 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NaCl are required = ?

Volume of AgNO₃ = 346 mL (346 mL× 1L/ 1000 mL = 0.346 L)

Molarity of AgNO₃ = 0.607 M

Solution:

Chemical equation:

NaCl  + AgNO₃     →    NaNO₃ + AgCl

Number of moles of AgNO₃:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

0.607 M = number of moles / 0.346 L

number of moles =  0.607 M × 0.346 L

number of moles =  0.21 mol

now we will compare the moles of NaCl and AgNO₃.

                       AgNO₃         :          NaCl        

                           1                :            1

                       0.21              :            0.21

Mass of NaCl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.21 mol × 58.44 g/mol

Mass = 12.27 g

1) A 400g sample of alcohol (c = 2.43 J/g°C) at 16°C is mixed with 400g
of water (c = 4.19 J/g°C) at 85°C. What is the final temperature of the
mixture?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of alcohol = 400 g

Specific heat capacity of alcohol = 2.43 J/g°C

Initial temperature of alcohol = 16°C

Mass of water = 400 g

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.19 J/g°C

Initial temperature of water = 85°C

Final temperature of mixture = ?

Solution:

Equation:

m₁c₁ (T₂-T₁ ) = m₂c₂(T₂-T₁)

by putting values,

400 × 4.19  × (T₂ -  85°C) = 400 × 2.43  × (T₂ - 16°C)

1676  × (T₂ -  85°C) = 972 × (T₂ - 16°C)

The percent  by volume of a solution

Solution

Percent Volume (% v/v) : volume (ml) of solute/100 ml of solution ⇒ ratio of the volume of the solute to total volume of the solution

solute= Ethanol

solvent=water

Solution = solute+solvent

Total volume of the solution :

[tex]\tt =volume~of~Ethanol+solume~of~water\\\\=50~ml+210~ml\\\\=260~ml[/tex]

Find the mass of 4.56 mols of LaPO4

Answers

Answer:

Mass = 1080.26 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of LaPO₄ = 4.56mol

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of LaPO₄ = 236.9 g/mol

by putting values,

4.56 mol = mass/ 236.9 g/mol

Mass = 4.56 mol  × 236.9 g/mol

Mass = 1080.26 g

Why does salt sprinkled on icy roads cause the ice to melt?​

Answers

it lowers the melting point

Answer:

The actual reason that the application of salt causes ice to melt is that a solution of water and dissolved salt has a lower freezing point than pure water. When added to ice, salt first dissolves in the film of liquid water that is always present on the surface, thereby lowering its freezing point below the ices temperature. Ice in contact with salty water therefore melts, creating more liquid water, which dissolves more salt, thereby causing more ice to melt, and so on.
