Answer:

The missing section of the candle burns away and evaporates while some drips and collects at the base.

Explanation:

This is because a chemical reaction is occurring due to the heat, causing the molecule in the candles wax to move around faster and faster therefore causing melting.

A particular sheet of paper measures 8.5 × 6.5 inches. What is the surface area of one side of the paper in cm2? (2.54 cm = 1 in
Zanzabum
<span>In order to calculate the surface are of the sheet of paper in square centimeters you must first convert the dimensions of the paper to centimeters. You can do this by multiplying 8.5 * 2.54 and 6.5 * 2.54. The paper measures 21.59cm by 16.51cm. To find the surface area you multiply the dimensions of the paper to equal 356.4509cm2</span>

Recalling that a beaker of water is two dimensional, what is the three dimensional shape of the micelle
saul85 [17]
A micelle refers to an aggregate of a surfactant molecule, which a dispersed in a liquied colloid. In an aqueous liquid, a micelle is arranged in such a way that its hydrophillic head region will be in contact with the surrounding solvents while the hydrophobic tail region will be embedded in its center. 
The three dimensional shape of a micelle is A SPHERE.

Consider a saturated solution formed when 17.5 g of a solute dissolve in 28.3 g of a solvent, giving a total solution volume of
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

a) 38.2 % mass

b) 61.8 g solute/100 g solvent

c) 1.65 g/mL

Explanation:

Given the data:

mass of solute = 17.5 g

mass of solvent= 28.3 g

total solution volume= 27.8 mL

a)- mass percent= mass of solute/mass of solution x 100

mass of solution = mass solute + mass solvent = 17.5 g + 28.3 g = 45.8 g

mass % = 17.5 g/45.8 g x 100 = 38.2 % mass

b)- solubility = grams of solute/ 100 g solvent

                    = 17.5 g x (100 g /28.3 g solvent) = 61.8 g solute/100 g solvent  

c)- density = massof solution/total volumesolution  = 45.8 g/27.8 mL = 1.65 g/mL

The amount of gas that occupies 36.52 L at 68.0°C and 672 mm Hg is __________ mol.
ASHA 777 [7]
We assume that this gas is an ideal gas. We use the ideal gas equation to calculate the amount of the gas in moles. It is expressed as:

PV = nRT
(672) (1/760) (36.52) = n (0.08206) ( 68 +273.15)
n = 1.15 mol of gas

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
