While ethanol being an alcohol does have a direct O−H connection. Hence, ethanol has intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Therefore, more stroger physical bonds have to be destroyed in ethanol, than in acetone. Hence, acetone evaporates faster than ethanol inspite of having higher surface tension.

<h3>What is Vapor pressure ?</h3>

The pressure that a vapour exerts on the condensed phases (solid or liquid) in a closed system when they are in thermodynamic equilibrium with one another is known as vapour pressure (or equilibrium vapour pressure).

  • It is significant to remember that when a liquid boils, the pressure of its vapour equals the atmospheric pressure. For instance, the vapour pressure of water when it boils at sea level is 1 atmosphere because the surrounding pressure is also 1 atmosphere.

Which is one way to determine whether a reaction was a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
svetoff [14.1K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

B) check to see if any energy was released during the reaction

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Energy changes accompanying nuclear reactions are much larger. This energy comes from the destruction of mass. In a nuclear reaction, mass is not strictly conserved. Some of the mass is converted into energy, according to the equation E = mc2 and the order of energy evolved during a nuclear reaction is much higher than that of a chemical reaction. So, one of the significant way to determine weather the reaction is chemical or nuclear is to check how much energy was released during the reaction.

Which best describes the relationship between the direction of energy and wave motion in a transverse wave?
lawyer [7]
The answer is the second choice (B)

EXPLANATION:
In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The animation at right shows a one-dimensional longitudinal plane wave propagating down a tube. The particles do not move down the tube with the wave; they simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. Pick a single particle and watch its motion. The wave is seen as the motion of the compressed region (ie, it is a pressure wave), which moves from left to right.

The second animation at right shows the difference between the oscillatory motion of individual particles and the propagation of the wave through the medium. The animation also identifies the regions of compression and rarefaction.
