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}

12345 [234]

<span>Answer is: Van't Hoff factor (i) for this solution is 1.051 .
Change in boiling point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT =i · Kb · b.
Kb - </span><span>molal boiling point elevation constant</span><span> is 0.512°C/m.
b -  molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
b = 1.26 m.
ΔT = 101.63°C - 100</span>°C = 1.63°C.

i = 1.63°C ÷ (0.512°C/m · 1.26 m).

i = 1.051.

What energy conversion takes place<br> as a leaf falls to the ground?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is kinetic energy</h3>

Explanation:

<h2>The answer is Kinetic Energy because take for an example,  When an apple falls from the tree to the ground, its energy of position is then made into kinetic energy, the energy of motion, as it falls to the ground. </h2>
