1. Why do you think pepper behaved the way it did in this experiment? What do you think that sugar and salt would do?

The experiment is related to the demonstration using Pepper. When pepper is spread over water, it clumps together This is because pepper is hydrophobic. When repeated with sugar and salt, they instantly dissolved. This means they are attracted to water. When also sprinkled on the surface of the water, it floats. This is caused by surface tension.

To break the surface tension of water, one can use aeration or the use of chemicals such as soap molecules which contain a long chain of hydrogen as well as carbon atoms.

<h3>What is surface tension?</h3>

Surface tension is the propensity of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink to the smallest feasible surface area. Surface tension permits items with a higher density than water, such as razor blades and insects (such as water striders), to float on the water's surface without being immersed.

A force tensiometer can be used to measure surface tension. The forces exerted on a probe situated at the liquid-gas or liquid-liquid interface are measured by these devices.

You are trying to boil water while camping in the Colorado Rockies. The surrounding barometric pressure is 0.9 bar, and the wate
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Perfectly Specified

Explanation:

Pressure, P = 0.9 atm

Boiling point = T

Number of components C = 1

Number of phases P = 2

Using  Gibbs phase rule as:

F = C - P + 2

F = 1 - 2 + 2 = 1

At Pressure = 0.9 atm, boiling point is T which means that the temperature is also fixed which is equal to 96.7 °C . The data taken from steam table.

In given problem, the pressure is fixed so temperature is also fixed.

The system is perfectly specified.

1. the purpose of the aqueous solutions in a galvanic cell is to?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1. The correct option is;

c. maintains charge balance in the cell

2. The correct option is;

c. +3.272 V

Explanation:

The aqueous solution in a galvanic cell is the electrolyte which is a ionic solution containing that permits the transfer of ions between the separated compartment of the galvanic cell such that the overall system is electrically neutral

Therefore, the aqueous solution maintains the charge balance in the cell

2. Here we have;

B₂ + 2e⁻ → 2B⁻ Ecell = 0.662 V

A⁺ + 1e⁻ → A Ecell = -1.305 V

Hence for the overall reaction, we have;

2A + B₂ → 2AB gives;

(0.662) - 2×(-1.305)  = +3.272 V.

A 150 mL of oxygen gas is collected over water at 20 °C and 758 torr. What volume will the same sample of oxygen occupy at STP w
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The volume would be; 136.17 ml

Explanation:

Volume V1 = 150 mL

Temperature T1 = 20°C + 273 = 293 K

Pressure  P1 = 758 - 17.54 = 740.46 torr

At STP;

Volume V2 = ?

Pressure P2 = 760 torr

Temperature T2 = 273 K

Using the general gas equation;

P1V1 / T1   = P2V2 / T2

Making V2 subject of formulae;

V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2

Inserting the values we have;

V2 = 740.46 * 150 * 273  /  293 * 760

V2 = 136.17 ml
