Answer from: Quest

water molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.

False, as a substance changes from a solid to a liquid and from a liquid to a gas the molecules get farther apart from each other

Answer from: Quest

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 : $4x (s) + 3o_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2x_{2}o_{3} (s) h rxn = -600 kj/mol$

equation 2 : $2x (s) + 3cl_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2xcl_{3} (s) h rxn = -800 kj/mol$

equation 3 : $4xcl_{3} (s) + 3o_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2x_{2}o_{3} (s) + 6cl_(2} h rxn = -200 kj/mol$

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 : $4xcl_{3} (s) \rightarrow 4x (s) + 6cl_{2} ( h rxn = (+800) \times 2 kj/mol$

let us add equation 1 & 4

$4x (s) + 3o_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2x_{2}o_{3} (s) h rxn = -600 kj/mol$

$4xcl_{3} (s) \rightarrow 4x (s) + 6cl_{2} ( h rxn = (+1600) kj/mol$

$4xcl_{3} )s) + 3o_{2} \rightarrow 2x_{2}o_{3} (s) + 6cl_{2} (g) h rxn = (+1000) kj/mol$

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

here are some of the ways in which chemical and nuclear reactions differ.

explanation:

$\begin{array}{ll}\qquad\textbf{chemical} & \qquad\textbf{nuclear} \\\text{energy changes $\approx 10^{2}$ kj} & \text{energy changes$\approx 10^{8}$ kj ($10^{6}$ times more}) \\\text{mass is conserved} & \text{mass changes to energy} \\\text{involves electrons} & \text{involves protons and neutrons} \\\text{atoms do not change} & \text{atoms transmute} \\\end{array}$

Problem page combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane ( c5 h12 ) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. for this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.(a) write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. (b) suppose 0.350 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 20.0 degree c. calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
