The correct answer is "other substances."

Cohesion occurs when particles of a substance stick together. So sticking of water molecules with one another is cohesion.

Adhesion is the opposite of cohesion. It occurs when particles of different substance attract to each other. For example, water sticks to glass. Thus water's attraction to other substances is adhesion.

Adhesion describes water's attraction to other substances. 

The term Adhesion refers to the tendency of particles or surfaces which are not similar to cling to one another. So basically, the adhesion occurs in water when the water is attracted or cling to other substance not similar to water.

Bismuth(III) sulfate is an ionic compound formed from Bi3+ and SO42-. What is the correct way to represent the formula?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Bi2(SO4)3

Explanation:

Bismuth(iii) sulfate is an ionic compound therefore, their is transfer of electron. Ionic compound has both cations and anions. The cations is positively charged ion while the anions is negatively charged ions. The cations loses electron to become positively charged while the anions gains electron to become negatively charged.

From the compound above, Bismuth(iii) sulfate the cations will be Bismuth ion which loses 3 electrons. The anions is the sulfate ion (S04)2- with a -2 charge.

The chemical formula can be computed from the charge configuration as follows

Bi3+  and (SO4)2-

cross multiply the charges living the sign behind to get the chemical formula

Bi2(SO4)3

Note the final chemical formula, the numbers are sub scripted

In redox half-reactions, a more positive standard reduction potential means I. the oxidized form has a higher affinity for elect
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The 1st and 4th options are correct

I.the oxidized form has a higher affinity for electrons

IV. the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons

Explanation:

Half reaction can be described as the oxidation or reduction reaction in a redox reaction.it is In the redox rection there is a change in the oxidation states of Chemical species involved. the oxidized form in the redox has a higher affinity for electrons and the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons.

Standard reduction potential which is also referred to as standard cell potential can be described as the potential difference that exist between cathode and anode of the cell. In the standard reduction potential most times the species will be reduced which is usually analysed in a reduction half reaction.

(Standard Hydrogen Electrode) is utilized when determining the Standard reduction or potentials of a chemical specie. this is because of Hydrogen having zero reduction and oxidation potentials, as a result of this a measured potential of any species is compared with that of Hydrogen, the difference helps to know the potential reduction of that particular specie.

11 Which compound has the greatest percent composition by mass of sulfur?(1) BaS (3) MgS
harina [27]
Percent composition by mass is calculated (mass of element within compound)/(mass of compound)*100. The lower the total molar mass of the compound, the greater the percent composition of sulfur. In this case, MgS would be that compound, since Mg has the lowest molar mass of the four elements bonded to S.

The melting point of water is 0°C at 1 atm pressure because under these conditions:
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, ΔS and ΔSsurr for the process H2O (s) ⇒ H2O(l) are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign.

Explanation:

The temperature at which solid state of water get transformed into liquid state is termed as the melting point of 0 °C. It can be shown by the reaction:  

H2O (s) ⇒ H2O (l)

The degree of randomness of a molecule is known as entropy. With the transformation of ice into liquid state, there is an increase in randomness. Thus, the value of entropy becomes positive as shown:  

Entropy change (ΔSsys) = ΔSproduct - ΔSreactant

= (69.9 - 47.89) J mol/K

= 22.0 J mol/K

Therefore, the value of entropy change is positive.  

Now the value of entropy for surrounding ΔSsurr will be,  

ΔSsurr = -ΔHfusion/T  

= -6012 j/mol/273

= -22.0 J/molK

Hence, the value of ΔSsurr and ΔSsys exhibit same magnitude with opposite sign.
