Which describes a property of water that allows plants to transfer it from their roots to their leaves?
water exhibits weak adhesion and cohesion, which allows capillary action to occur. water exhibits strong adhesion and cohesion, which allows capillary action to occur.
water has low surface tension, which prevents capillary action from occurring. water has high surface tension, which prevents capillary action from occurring.

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When different substances attract towards each other then this force of attraction is known as adhesion.

For example, water sticks to glass due the the property of adhesion.

Whereas when same substances attract towards each other then this force of attraction is known as cohesion.

For example, water molecules stick to each other.

Therefore, a property of water that allows plants to transfer it from their roots to their leaves is that water exhibits strong adhesion and cohesion, which allows capillary action to occur.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
