The element mercury was first discovered on the Sun.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

This statement is FALSE. Mercury was not first discovered in the sun. In fact, mercury or quicksilver was discovered by ancient Indians and Chinese even before 2000 BC. Its ores that are called cinnabar are used in traditional Chinese medicines. However, the effectiveness is not yet justified because of the toxicity of the element. Mercury is also used with thermometers both in clinical and lab uses. Nowadays, the use of it in thermometers is gradually disappearing because of its harmful properties.

Which two physical properties allow a mixture to be separated by chromatography?(1) hardness and boiling point
(2) density and specific heat capacity
(3) malleability and thermal conductivity
(4) solubility and molecular polarity

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is: (4) solubility and molecular polarity

Explanation:

Chromatography is an analytical technique which is used for the separation of various components in a given mixture.

In this process, the mixture to be separated is first dissolved in the mobile phase, which carries it through the stationary phase, thus leading to separation of the various components.

This differential separation is the result of the differential migration which is based upon the solubility and polarity of the individual components of of the given mixture.

As carbon dioxide sublimes, its entropy
(1) decreases (2) increases (3) remains the same

Answers

Answer: (2) increases

Explanation: Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. More is the random arrangement of molecules in a system , more is the entropy of the system. More ordered is the arrangement of molecules in a system, less is the entropy of the system.

When carbon dioxide sublimes, it means solid carbon dioxide is directly changing to gaseous state without undergoing into liquid state, thus the molecules will be more random and thus the entropy will increase.

When something sublimes (Goes straight from solid to gas), it takes in energy, as it is an endothermic process, so its entropy increases

During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. Through several chemical reactions, the plant produces sugar, a high-energy compound, from simpler substances. What energy transformation occurs during this process?

A...thermal energy to chemical energy

B....electromagnetic energy to chemical energy

C....kinetic energy to potential energy

D...potential energy to chemical energy

Answers

The change is thermal energy to chemical energy.  Sugar contains a lot of chemical potential energy which is why living things use it as a source of energy.  The process of photo synthesis takes light from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.  That process is basically turning the thermal energy from the light into chemical energy in the sugar.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. The energy transformation occurs during this process is thermal energy to chemical energy.

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is a process by which the plants make their food. The process takes sunlight, water, and chlorophyll into food.

Thus, the correct option is A.thermal energy to chemical energy.

Which of the following can be found in an atom's nucleus?A. cells
B. shells
C. electrons
D. protons

Answers

D. protons

AND NEUTRONS

The atoms in a compound are held together by a chemical bond. The chemical bonds can be either covalent bonds or ionic bonds. Both the bonds are considered very strong bonds. These bonds are mainly formed by sharing of electrons or in the case when one of the elements making the compound donates electron to the other element. The nucleus of each atom attracts to form a strong bond. This property of attraction between the nucleus of the atoms actually helps in forming the chemical bonds. 

A solid compound in a sealed container was kept at a very low temperature in a freezer. When placed at room temperature, the substance quickly turned into a liquid. This compound is most likely which of the following?a.an ionic compound because it has a low boiling point
b. a covalent compound because it has a low boiling point
c.an ionic compound because it has a low melting point
d.a covalent compound because it has a low melting point

Answers

Answer: A solid compound in a sealed container is a covalent compound because it has a low melting point.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces which are strong in nature and cannot be broken down at low temperature.

Whereas covalent compounds have Vanderwaal forces which are weak in nature. Therefore, covalent compounds melts at low temperature.

Thus, it can be concluded that a solid compound in a sealed container is a covalent compound because it has a low melting point.
