Answer:

The surface tension of water is high due to the dipole nature of water, meaning that the water molecules pull on each other by electrical charge. Soap and detergents interrupt this layer, reducing the surface tension.

A visual, though not scientifically accurate, would be a set of magnetic marbles that form a sheet. If you randomly stick in glass marbles the overall strength decreases since they are not all pulling together in order.

There are some substances, called super wetters, generally silicone surfactants that give a truly amazing drop in surface tension, where a small puddle of water can spread to many times it’s own size. These types of surfactants are used in laundry detergent and french fry oil to prevent foaming and in polymers to promote flow.

Hope it helps!

The specific heat : c = 0.306 J/g K

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Heat = 35.2 J

Mass = 16 g

Temperature difference : 7.2 K =

Required

The specific heat

Solution

Heat can be calculated using the formula:

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat, J

m = mass, g

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K

Input the value :

c = Q / m.∆T

c = 35.2 / 16 x 7.2

c = 0.306 J/g K

Which of the temperatures below is most likely to be the boiling point of water at 880 torr?view available hint(s)which of the t

Luden [163]

Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding pressure.

Above boiling point point, liquid get converted into vapour.

Now, boiling point of water is 100 oC at room pressure. Room pressure is equal to 760 torr. Thus, at 100 oC, vapour pressure of water becomes equal to 760 torr.

Now, if external pressure is increased to 880 torr, more heat is to be supplied so that vapour pressure of water equals 880 torr.

So, at 880 torr, boiling point of water will be more than 100 oC. In present case, most like the boiling point of water is equal to 105 oC.

Answer:

$y = 5cos(\frac{2\pi }{6} x)$

Explanation:

You can put that equation into a program like desmos on your browser and take a screenshot or use windows snippet tool.

Equation of a Wave: y = Acos(((2*pi)/B)x)

$y = Acos(\frac{2\pi }{B} x)$

A = Amplitude

B= Wavelength
