A student blows up a balloon, seals it tightly, and places it in a very cold freezer. After a few hours, the balloon has gotten smaller. Which of the following statements best explains the decrease in the balloon’s volume? the multiple choice

a. As the temperature decreases, the molecules gain energy and move closer together, causing the balloon to shrink.

b.As the balloon releases energy, the molecules break apart into atoms, causing the balloon to shrink.

c.As the temperature decreases, the molecules lose energy and move closer together, causing the balloon to shrink.

d.As the balloon absorbs energy, the molecules move more quickly, causing the balloon to shrink.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I think the best answer is C. The statement that best explains the decrease in volume of the balloon is that as the temperature decreases, the molecules lose energy and move closer together, causing the balloon to shrink. Temperature is directly related to kinetic energy. As the temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases as well causing for them to move less and be closer to each other.

Why would an electrician use parallel circuits to wire the lights in each room of a house instead of using a series circuit?A. When electricians get their license, they are only licensed to install parallel circuits. Most electricians aren't certified to install series circuits. B. Parallel circuits prevent electrons from flowing if part of the circuit is broken and therefore prevent fires. Series circuits cause more fires because electrons still flow. C. Electrons continue to flow in a parallel circuit even if part of the circuit is broken. In a series circuit, a break such as a burned out lightbulb would cause the current to stop in the whole room. D. Parallel circuits are much easier to wire and are required by the electrical code for housing construction in most communities. Series circuits are sometimes used with special approval.

How can you tell which ionic compounds will react in an aqueous solution

Answers

1.  Determine if the ionic substances can break apart into ions.
 - e.g. CaCO3 isn't very soluble, do it can't dissolve and dissociate.  If it can't pop apart, no ions.
2.  Swap the partners for all the other ions that you can get from step 1.  You can skip pairings with the same charge - a + can't get close to another + to react.
3.  Use solubility, acid/base, and redox rules to see if anything will happen with the ions in solution.

Answers

Answer 1) Option D) Soda lowered the pH in his stomach and slowed digestive enzyme activity.


Explanation : Consuming soda after eating pizza lowered the pH of the stomach which consequently, slowed the digestive enzyme activity in the stomach. The enzymes actively digest the food only in highly acidic environment.


Answer 2) Option A) An inhibitor


Explanation : An inhibitor is a substance usually added to a progressing chemical reaction to decrease the rate of reaction and finally stop the reaction.


Answer 3) Option B) Presence of an enzyme


Explanation : When an enzyme is added to a chemical reaction it is often seen that it lowers the energy of activation and catalyzes the reaction. So, enzyme acts as a catalyst and increases the reaction rate.


Answer 4) Option A) The vitamins will bond to the enzymes and increase their reactivity with the substrates.


Explanation : When the biologists adds a vitamin solution to an enzyme or a substrate solution the bonding will take place between vitamins and enzymes and as a result it will increase the reactivity of the substrates.


Answer 5) Option C) The enzymes in the peaches have denatured.


Explanation : When enzymes are stewed or rather boiled they become denatured and the bonds between them breaks, which makes the enzyme useless. Hence, proteins should be eaten raw without boiling at higher temperatures.


Answer 6) Option A) The enzyme breaks the substrate apart to prepare for the reaction.


Explanation : In a catalytic reaction the enzymes usually break the substrate and create more surface area for the reaction to occur.

The multiple covalent bond in a molecule of 1-butene is a(1) double covalent bond that has 6 shared electrons
(2) double covalent bond that has 4 shared electrons
(3) triple covalent bond that has 6 shared electrons
(4) triple covalent bond that has 4 shared electrons

Answers

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An alkene is a molecule that contains a hydrocarbon chain with atleast one double bond.

For example, H_(2)C=CH-CH_(2)-CH_(3) is a 1-butene molecule and it contains one double bond that consists of four shared electrons.

On the other hand, a molecule of hydrocabon that contains a triple bond is known as an alkyne. Whereas a hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds is known as an alkane.

Thus, we can conclude that the multiple covalent bond in a molecule of 1-butene is a double covalent bond that has 4 shared electrons.

(2) double covalent bond that has 4 shared electrons
