(a)
Interpretation:
The type of non-covalent bonds holding together the given solids needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Non-covalent bonds are the bonds that are formed via electrostatic interactions between molecules and not via sharing of electrons between molecules as seen in case of covalent bonds. They can be of many types such as electrostatic, p-effects, hydrophobic effects and Vander Waals forces.

There are 2 moles. 13) If a person were to eat this much glucose all at once (that is a lot of sugar) and all this sugar enters the blood then the person's blood sugar concentration would rise. Imagine that all this glucose is released into the 5 liters of blood that circulate in this person. What would be the molarity of glucose in the blood? Click or tap here to enter text. 14) After each of these glucose molecules enter the blood they are uptaken through cell membranes to enter cells. Within these cells glucose is broken down in a series of steps releasing carbon dioxide along the way. For every molecule of glucose broken down how many molecules of carbon dioxide are created?

First, you need to prepare a small piece of potato (cut into a 2-inch long stick or wedge), two identical drinking glasses with equal amounts of tap water (enough to submerge the piece of potato) in them and a teaspoonful of table salt. Mark one glass as A, and the other one as B. Dissolve the salt in the water in glass A. Take note of the initial characteristics of the piece of potato, particularly its consistency (degree of firmness or hardness). Record this observation on the first column of table 22. Characteristics before Soaking Table 22: Observed Characteristics of the Piece of Potato Characteristics after Soaking in Salt Water Characteristics after Soaking in Plain Water saline solution (salt water) after an hour and take note of its consistency. Write your observati on the second column of table 22. Place the piece of potato in glass A and set it aside for 1 hour. Remove the potato from th nh General Biology 1 SUBJECT Wayne Ann M.
