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.

solid to liquid change melting​

Answers

Answer:

The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called melting. (an older term that you may see sometimes is fusion). The opposite process, a liquid becoming a solid, is called solidification. For any pure substance, the temperature at which melting occurs—known as the melting point—is a characteristic of that substance.

3 A 60.00 g sample of tetraethyl lead, a gasoline additive, is found to contain 38.43 g lead, 17.83 g carbon, and 3.74 g hydrogen. Find its empirical formula.

Answers

Answer:

The empirical formula is PbC₈H₂₀

Explanation:

To determine the empyrical formula, we need to determine the % of each element:

(38.43g  / 60 g ). 100 = 64.05 % of Lead

(17.83 g / 60 g) . 100 = 29.72 % of Carbon

(3.74 g / 60 g) . 100 = 6.23 % of H

Now we divide by the atomic mass:

64.05 / 207.2 = 0.309

29.72 / 12 = 2.48

6.23 / 1 = 6.23

We pick the lowest value and we divide again, with this number

0.309 / 0.309 = 1 Pb

2.48 / 0.309 = 8 C

6.23 / 0.309 = 20 H

PbC₈H₂₀

Answers

Answer:

Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place, whereas climate is the characteristic weather in an area over a long period of time.

Explanation:

Weather and climate are two very important conditions that describes the atmospheric overview of a place.

Weather is reported over a short period of time, it is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place.

Climate is reported over a long period of term. The average weather condition of a place over a long period of time is the climate.

The most important control over the climate of a place is the temperature and amount of precipitation it receives over a period of time. Weather conditions is reported using more diverse factors such a temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, etc.

It is expressed as;

  K.E  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] m v²  

m is the mass

v is the speed

  Now find m;

Help me answer this plz.

Answers

Answer:

87.58 L of C₂H₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 250 g of CaC₂.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CaC₂ = 250 g

Molar mass of CaC₂ = 40 + (12×2)

= 40 + 24

= 64 g/mol

Mole of CaC₂ =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of CaC₂ = 250 / 64

Mole of CaC₂ = 3.91 moles

Next, the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CaC₂ + 2H₂O —> C₂H₂ + Ca(OH)₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaC₂ reacted to produce 1 mole of C₂H₂.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of C₂H₂ produced by the reaction of 250 g (i.e 3.91 moles) of CaC₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaC₂ reacted to produce 1 mole of C₂H₂.

Therefore, 3.91 moles of CaC₂ will also react to produce 3.91 moles of C₂H₂.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of C₂H₂ produced from the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

Recall:

1 mole of any gas occupy 22.4 L at STP.

1 mole of C₂H₂ occupied 22.4 L at STP.

Therefore, 3.91 moles of C₂H₂ will occupy = 3.91 × 22.4 = 87.58 L

Thus, 87.58 L of C₂H₂ is produced from the reaction.

If 2.25 moles of lead (II) sulfate are combined with 9.62 moles of lithium nitrate, how moles of lithium sulfate can be created? please help

Answers

Answer:

4.5 moles of lithium sulfate are produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of lead sulfate = 2.25 mol

Number of moles of lithium nitrate = 9.62 mol

Number of moles of lithium sulfate = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Pb(SO₄)₂ + 4LiNO₃      →     Pb(NO₃)₄ + 2Li₂SO₄

Now we will compare the moles of lithium sulfate with lead sulfate and lithium nitrate.

                       Pb(SO₄)₂        :         Li₂SO₄

                            1                :             2

                          2.25           :          2/1×2.25 = 4.5 mol

                       LiNO₃            :             Li₂SO₄

                           4                :                2

                           9.62           :             2/4×9.62 = 4.81 mol

Pb(SO₄)₂  produces less number of moles of Li₂SO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant and limit the yield of  Li₂SO₄.

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different states namely: solid, gaseous and liquid. Elements that are found in nature are classified as matter. Since, these elements are grouped as matter, they can either be found as either solids, liquids or gases at normal temperature and pressure.

At normal temperature (20°C or 293K) and pressure (1 atm), the following elements are found to exists in the respective state of matter:

Solid: Calcium (Ca) and potassium (K)

Liquid: Mercury (Hg) and bromine (Br)

Gaseous: Oxygen (O) and fluorine (F)

For the hydrolysis of methyl acetate express the rate of reaction in terms of different reactants and products

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

CH3COOCH3 + H2O -------> CH3COOH + CH3OH

Now recall that the rate of reaction refers to the rate of disappearance of reactants or the rate of appearance of products. We indicate that reactants disappear by a negative sign placed in front of the concentration term of reactants.

Rate = k -d[CH3COOCH3]/dt

Rate = k d[CH3COOH]/dt

Rate = k d[CH3OH]/dt

Note; i did not write the rate in terms of water because it is a solvent that is present in large excess. Its concentration does not change with time.

When a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is ignited in a test tube, the reaction shown occurs. Hydrogen + Oxygen → Water + Energy Substances that form as a result of a chemical reaction are called catalysts catalysts products products precipitates precipitates reactants

Answers

Answer:

products

Explanation:

In chemistry, chemical reactions is the combination of two or more substances to yield other substances. The substances that react is called REACTANTS while the substances formed after the reaction is called PRODUCTS.

According to this question, a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is ignited in a test tube as follows:

Hydrogen + Oxygen → Water + Energy

In this reaction, the substances being combined (usually found on the left side of the equation) are hydrogen and oxygen. Hence, oxygen and hydrogen are REACTANTS. Also, the substances produced as a result of the reaction is water (H2O). The PRODUCTS of the reaction is WATER.

A 14.1g sample of NaOH is dissolved in 200.0g of water in a coffee-cup colorimeter. The temperature increases from 20.0C to —-. Specific heat of liquid water is 4.18 J/g-K and deltaH for the dissolution of sodium hydroxide in water is 44.4kj/mol.

Answers

Answer:

The temperature finally increased from 20 °C to 38.7 °C

Explanation:

This a problem about calorimetry. Formula to solve it is:

Q = m . C . ΔT

Where ΔT is Final T° - Initial T°

m is the mass

and C, specific heat.

In this situation we are dissolving NaOH where 1 mol requires 44.4 kJ of heat. As we do not have 1 mol, we need to determine the heat that is released.

We convert the mass to moles

14.1 g . 1 mol / 40g = 0.3525 mol

We determine the heat

0.3525 mol . 44400 J/mol = 15651 Joules of heat.

Now we can replace data in the calorimetry formula:

15651 J = 200 g . 4.18 J/g°C (Final T° - 20°C)

15651 J / (200 g . 4.18 J/g°C) = Final T° - 20°C

18.7°C + 20°C = Final T° → 38.7°C

Which ions aren't shown in net ionic reactions, because they are present as both reactants and products of the reaction, so they do not participate in the reaction?

Answers

Explanation:

This is correct!

Ions that exist in both the reactant and product side of the equation are referred to as spectator ions. Overall, they do not partake in the reaction. If they are present on both sides of the equation, you can cancel them out.

An example is;

Na+(aq) + Cl​−​​(aq) + Ag​+(aq) + NO​3​−​​(aq) → Na​+​​(aq) + NO​3​−​​(aq) + AgCl(s)

The ions; Na+, NO​3​−​​(aq) would be cancelled out to give;

Cl​−​​(aq) + Ag​+(aq)  → AgCl(s)
