When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate int

o individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
A) 1 L of 0.5 M NaClB) 1 L of 0.5 M glucoseC) 1 L of 1.0 M NaClD) 1 L of 1.0 M glucoseE) C and D will contain equal numbers of particles.

Answer:

The correct answer is C) 1 L of 1.0 M NaCl

Explanation:

NaCl is a ionic compound so it dissociates in water into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. Glucose is a covalent solute so it does not dissociates into ions. So, when we dissolve NaCl we have twice the amount of particles in solution in comparison with glucose. According to this:

A) and B) are solutions with the same concentration (0.5 M) but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose.

C) and D) are solutions with more solute amount because they are more concentrated (1 M), but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose solution ( 1 mol of Na⁺ ions + 1 mol of Cl⁻ ions).

The solution with the greatest solute particle number is C).

Answer:

The correct answer is - observation.

Explanation:

Scientists like Si-Ling Chi, Aristotle, and Mary Anning developed  various scientific processes and made discoveries that shaped the history of the world. such discoveries are discoveries related to silkworms and how to make cloth from their cocoons by Si-Ling Chi, developing the scientific method by Aristotle and  Contribution to the field of paleontology greatly by Mary Anning.

All these scientists had a different type of skill and ability and one of the skills they had a strong power of observing the things or phenomenon work and many more other aspects of the scientific process.

Alicia is being tickled by her older sister. which divisions of the nervous system are receiving the signals from her sister’s f
Finger [1]

In this case, when Alicia is being tickled  by her older sister, the divisions of the nervous system which are responsible for receiving the signals from her sister’s fingers are called somatosensory cortex and anterior cingulated cortex nervous system. 

When you are touched lightly, the effect of having that ticklish sensation is caused by the analysis of two regions of the brain. For example, when our brain analyses the pressure of the touch, this is the work of the somatosensory cortex. On the other hand, as soon as something touches your skin, the signal sent from the skin's sensory receptors also passes through the anterior cingulated cortex.<span>This is where the pleasant feelings are governed. </span>

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Hot, humid temperatures than today.

Explanation:

  • The Carboniferous period is was a geologic period that spans about 60 mn years ago and is named for the coal-bearing period. In the beginning, the climate was warm and hot had temperature about 20 degrees, but in the middle cooling occurred and the temperature was about 12 degrees.  
  • The cooling and drying of the climate lead to the Carboniferous rainforest. The planet was much hotter and more humid than we see it today and had more carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than exists today.
