Why does water have a high surface tension? (2 points) Hydrogen bonding keeps water molecules close together. Water is a liquid

at room temperature. The lengths of the bonds in water molecules can change. Water molecules contain 18 electrons.

Answer: Because water contains hydrogen bonds.

Explanation: Despite being weak bonds, hydrogen bonds cause water to have what is called surface tension. Objects can float on water due to this.

The correct answer is A. Hydrogen bonding keeps water molecules close together.

Explanation:

In physics, surface tension refers to the tension that is created in the surface of liquids as a result of bonds or attraction between particles and that makes the surface layer denser than the rest of the liquid. In the case of water, this occurs due to the bonds created between the hydrogen particles with other particles in water that create a surface that is denser and flexible. This only occurs in the surface while particles in the rest of the liquid do not form these bonds. Considering this, it can be concluded water has a high surface tension because "hydrogen bonding keeps water molecules close together".

Calculate the (absolute) pressure at the bottom of a neighborhood swimming pool 30.0 m by 8.0 m whose uniform depth is 2.0 m. Th
Alika [10]

Answer:

Total pressure= 120945[Pa]

Force exerted = 29026800 [N] or 29.02*10^6 [N]

Explanation:

We know that the total pressure is the result of the sum of the atmospheric pressure plus the manometric pressure. The equation is:

Ptotal=Patm + Pman

In this problem we know the atmospheric pressure 101.325x10^3 [Pa], therefore we need to find the manometric pressure.

The manometric pressure in the bottom of the swimming pool depends only on the water column of water generated (depth of the swimming pool)

Pman = density*g*h

where:

density = density of the water 1000 [kg/m^3]

g= gravity [m/s^2]

h= column of water (meters)

replacing the values:

Pman= 1000 *9.81* 2 = 19620 [Pa]\\\\

The total pressure will be:

Ptotal= 101325+19620 = 120945 [Pa]\\\\

The force exerte on the bottom is defined by the following expression:

Pressure=Force/area\\\\Force= Pressure*Area\\\\Area = 30m*8m= 240 m^2Force= 120945*240\\Force= 29026800N or 2958 Ton
