Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the

bulk liquid. Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension. Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises. Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another. Mercury has a lower surface tension than water.

Answer:

Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.

Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.

Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is the force that stretches the liquid surface. This force acts normal to the surface. It is the downward force that acts on the surface of the liquids which is due to the cohesive forces of the liquids.

The water molecules are bonded by a strong hydrogen bond force which is between hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. At the surface the water molecules are attracted strongly by other water molecules which lies below the surface and are stretched at the surface. Thus the water molecules at the surface acts differently than in the bulk liquid.

Mercury have a strong cohesive force than the water and have a higher surface tension force than the water.

Surface water acquires minimum surface area, hence acquiring spherical shape of water.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas mixture after the addition of the Ar gas is P₂= 2.25 atm

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas law

PV=nRT

if the Volume V = constant (rigid container) and assuming that the Ar added is at the same temperature as the gases that were in the container before the addition, the only way to increase P is by the number of moles n . Therefore

Inicial state ) P₁V=n₁RT

Final state )  P₂V=n₂RT

dividing both equations

P₂/P₁ = n₂/n₁ → P₂= P₁ * n₂/n₁

now we have to determine P₁ and n₂ /n₁.

For P₁ , we use the Dalton`s law , where p ar1 is the partial pressure of the argon initially and x ar1 is the initial molar fraction of argon (=0.5 since is equimolar mixture of 2 components)

p ar₁ = P₁ * x ar₁  →  P₁ = p ar₁ / x ar₁ = 0.75 atm / 0.5 = 1.5 atm

n₁ = n ar₁ + n N₁ =  n ar₁ + n ar₁ = 2 n ar₁

n₂ = n ar₂ + n N₂ = 2 n ar₁ + n ar₁ = 3 n ar₁

n₂ /n₁ = 3/2

therefore

P₂= P₁ * n₂/n₁ = 1.5 atm * 3/2  = 2.25 atm

P₂= 2.25 atm

kvv77 [185]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of the following is most likely a heavier stable nucleus? (select all that apply) Select all that apply: A nucleus with a neutron:proton ratio of 1.05 A nucleus with a A nucleus with a neutron:proton ratio of 1.49 The nucleus of Sb-123 A nucleus with a mass of 187 and an atomic number of 75

Answer:

A nucleus with a A nucleus with a neutron:proton ratio of 1.49

A nucleus with a mass of 187 and an atomic number of 75

Explanation:

The stability of a nucleus depends on the number of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus. For many low atomic number elements, the number of protons and number of neutrons are equal. This implies that the neutron/proton ratio = 1

Elements with higher atomic number tend to be more stable if they have a slight excess of neutrons as this reduces the repulsion between protons.

Generally, the belt of stability for chemical elements lie between and N/P ratio of 1 to an N/P ratio of 1.5.

Two options selected have an N/P ratio of 1.49 hence they are heavy stable elements.

Jeff wants to find the volume of a gas in a cylinder. He knows that at 28°C and a pressure of 1 atm, the volume of the gas was 6
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

by using ideal gas law

Explanation:

ideal gas law:

PV=nRT

where:

P is pressure measured in Pascal (pa)

V is volume measured in letters (L)

n is number of moles

R is ideal gas constant

T is temperature measured in Kelvin (K)

by applying the given:

P(initial) V(initial)=nRT(initial)

P(final) V(final)=nRT(final)

nR is constant in both equations since same gas

then,

P(initial) V(initial) / T(initial) = P(final) V(final) / T(final)

then by crossing multiply both equations

V (final)= { (P(initial) V(initial) / T(initial)) T(final) } /P (final)

P(initial)=P(final)= 1 atm = 101325 pa

V(initial)= 6 L

T(initial) = 28°c = 28+273 kelvin

T(final) = 39°c = 39+273 kelvin

by substitution

V(final) = 6.21926 L
