Sofia has two 10-gram samples of sea salt. One sample is finely ground into thousands of tiny grains of salt. The other sample is a single block of salt crystals. Sofia tries to dissolve each sample in a separate glass of water. Which sample will dissolve first? A. the finely ground sample because it has more surface area
B. the single block because it has more surface area
C. the single block because it has less surface area
D. the finely ground sample because it has less surface area

Consider hydrogen in an excited state n = 5n=5 that emits photons to reach the ground state. there are various possible transitions other than straight to the ground state that can occur; for example, it can drop to the n = 3n=3 state followed by the n = 3n=3 to the ground state transition. which of the possible transitions will result in the emission of a photon in the visible region?

Which is true concerning the products and reactants of photosynthesis and cellular respiration? a. the products of photosynthesis are sugars and the reactants of cellular respiration are starches. b. the products of photosynthesis are reactants in cellular respiration. c. oxygen is needed for photosynthesis and is given off in cellular respiration.
