Both the esophagus and the small intestine are involved in the digestion of food. The esophagus squeezes food into the stomach b

y wave-like muscle contractions. Peptidase enzymes in the small intestine break food molecules into smaller molecules.
Which statement best describes changes to food during digestion?

A. The muscle contractions result in physical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in chemical changes.

B. The muscle contractions result in chemical changes, while the peptidase results in physical changes.

C. The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in physical changes.

D. The muscle contractions and the action in the peptidase both result only in chemical changes.

Answer:

The answer is: A

Explanation:

The wave-like contractions are to be considered a physical change as they do not take part in the breaking-down of the food. The peptidase is a chemical change because it is used to chemically break down the food to retrieve nutrients and such.

Suppose, in an experiment to determine the amount of sodium hypochlorite in bleach, you titrated a 26.34 mL sample of 0.0100 M K
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0.1 M

Explanation:

The overall balanced reaction equation for the process is;

IO3^- (aq)+ 6H^+(aq) + 6S2O3^2-(aq) → I-(aq) + 3S4O6^2-(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Generally, we must note that;

1 mol of IO3^- require 6 moles of S2O3^2-

Thus;

n (iodate) = n(thiosulfate)/6

C(iodate) x V(iodate) = C(thiosulfate) x V(thiosulfate)/6

Concentration of iodate C(iodate)= 0.0100 M

Volume of iodate= V(iodate)= 26.34 ml

Concentration of thiosulphate= C(thiosulfate)= the unknown

Volume of thiosulphate=V(thiosulfate)= 15.51 ml

Hence;

C(iodate) x V(iodate) × 6/V(thiosulfate) = C(thiosulfate)

0.0100 M × 26.34 ml × 6/15.51 ml = 0.1 M

The Rydberg constant is 3.3 x 10 15 Hz. this value is also
mina [271]

Answer:

Rydberg constant 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hertz is equal to 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

Explanation:

Given;

Rydberg constant as  3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hz

1 Rydberg constant = 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hz

1 Rydberg constant  = 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

Therefore, Rydberg constant 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hertz is equal to 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

What is the freezing point of a 1.40 m aqueous solution of a nonvolatile un-ionized solute? (the freezing point depression const
Alina [70]
Depression is freezing point is a colligative property. It is mathematically expressed as ΔTf = Kf X m

where Kf = <span>freezing point depression constant = 1.86°c kg /mol (for water)
m = molality of solution = 1.40 m

</span>∴ ΔTf = Kf X m  = 1.86 X 1.40 = 2.604 oC

Now, for water freezing point = 0 oC

∴Freezing point of solution = -2.604 oC
