Fatty acids spread spontaneously on water to form a monomolecular film. A solution containing 0.10 mm^3 of a fatty acid is dropp

ed into a tray full of water. The acid spreads on the surface to form a continuous film covering an area of 400. cm^2 . What is the average film thickness in nanometers?​

Divide the volume by the area. Using scientific makes things a bit cleaner.

0.10\,\mathrm{mm}^3 = 10^{-1}\,\mathrm{mm}^3

400.\,\mathrm{cm}^2 = 4\times10^2\,\mathrm{cm}^2

Then

\dfrac{10^{-1} \,\mathrm{mm}^3}{4\times10^2\,\mathrm{cm}^2} \cdot \dfrac{\left(\frac{1\,\rm m}{10^3\,\rm mm}\right)^3}{\left(\frac{1\,\rm m}{10^2\,\rm cm}\right)^2} = \dfrac{10^{-1}\times10^{-9} \,\mathrm m^3}{4\times10^2\times10^{-4}\,\mathrm m^2} = \dfrac{10^{-10}}{4\times10^{-2}}\,\mathrm m \\\\ ~~~~~~~~= 0.25\times10^{-8}\,\mathrm m

Now, 1 m = 10⁹ nm, so

0.25 \times10^{-8}\,\mathrm m \cdot \dfrac{10^9\,\rm nm}{1\,\rm m} = 0.25\times10^1\,\mathrm{nm} = \boxed{2.5\,\rm nm}

A .115 L sample of dry air has a pressure of 1.0895633 atm at 377 K. What is the volume of the sample if the temperature is incr
matrenka [14]

Answer:

V= 0.147 L

Explanation:

This is simply the application of combined gas law twice, to find the unknowns.

Combined gas law states that: PV = nRT

P= pressure of air

V= volume of air

n= moles of air

R= Universal gas constant ( 0.08205 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹)

T= Absolute temperature in kelvin.

n=\frac{P * 0.115}{R * 377}

Now, applying the same gas law at 483K and substituting for n

V = \frac{P * 0.115}{R * 377} * \frac{R* 483}{P}

V= \frac{0.115 * 483}{377}

V= 0.147 L

A piece of styrofoam has a mass of 15.0 grams and is the shape of a cube with each edge measuring 44.5 mm. Calculate the density
Artemon [7]
Density is calculated as mass divided by volume. We are given the mass of 15.0 grams, so we need to find the volume. For a cube, volume is calculated as (length of side)^3, so in this case, we have the length of a side as 44.5 mm, which is equivalent to 4.45 cm.
Volume = (4.45 cm)^3 = 88.1 cm^3
Then we divide mass by the volume:
Density = (15.0 grams) / (88.1 cm^3) = 0.170 g/cm^3
So the correct answer is A.
