Capillarity. Capillary action is what causes anything with a wick to work, think about when you stick the corner of a paper towel in water, the water soaks up the paper towel.

What happens to the speed of motion of the particles of a gas when a certain volume of the gas is heated at constant pressure? E
Vitek1552 [10]
As the gas is heated, the particles will begin to move faster. Likewise if you start to cool a gas, the particles will move slower. Because the gas remains at a constant pressure and volume, the particles cannot spread out so they simply move around the container even faster.

Hope this helps :)

The following gases are at STP. Which one will diffuse the fastest? F2, CO2, He, SO2, NO, NH3
Lisa [10]
This can be solve using the grahams law, which states that the rate of diffusion of the gas is inversely proportional the square root of the molar mass of the gas. meaning the gas with smaller molar mass is the fastest to diffuse

molar mass of the following
F2 = 38 g/mol
CO2 = 44 g/mol
He = 4 g/mol
SO2 = 64 g/mol
NO = 30 g/mol
NH3 = 17 g/mol

so the fastest is He

What is the maximum length of a polyethene chain with molar mass 10^6 and monomer length 2.5?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

L=7.0125*10^-5

Explanation:

LET  

 Length of polyethene chain= L

Molecular weight OF polyethene= MW

Molecular weight of monomer =mw

Monomer length= l

L=(MW/mw) *l

              L= (28.05g/mol10^6gmol-1) * 2.5

             L=70.125*10^-6

            L=7.0125*10^-5

Hence, the length will be L=7.0125*10^-5 .
