The surface tension of water is 7.28 ✕ 10−2 J/m2 at 20°C. Predict whether the surface tension of heptane would be higher or lowe

r than that of water at the same temperature. Explain your answer.

Answer:

Lower  

Explanation:

Surface tension occurs because molecules at the surface do not have molecules above them, so they cohere more strongly to their neighbours.

The stronger cohesive forces make it more difficult to move an object through the surface than when it is beneath the surface.

The attractive forces in water are strong because of hydrogen bonding.

A hexane molecule is nonpolar, so the only attractions are the weak London dispersion forces.

The cohesive forces at the surface are much lower than those in water, so the surface tension of hexane is lower than that of water at the sane temperature.

Each answer below describes the connectivity around a single atom.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

d. One single bond and two double bonds.

Explanation:

The octate rule is a chemical rule in which the atoms prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. Where a single bond provide two electrons and a double bond provide 4 electrons. Thus:

a. Two double bonds . Two double bonds provide 8 electrons. Octate rule <em>is not </em>violated

b. Three single bonds and one pair of electrons . Three single bonds provide 6 electrons and one pair of electrons provide two electrons. Thus, you have eight electrons and octate rule <em>is not</em> violated

c. Two single bonds and one double bond . Two single bonds provide four electrons and one double bond 4. Thus, you have eight electrons and octate rule <em>is not </em>violated.

d. One single bond and two double bonds. One single bond provides two electrons and two double bonds 8. Thus, you have 10 electrons and <em>octate rule is violated.</em>

e. Four single bonds. Four single bonds provide 8 electrons. Octate rule<em> is not </em>violated.

How does an organic pH indicator works. (illustrate using chemical equations and
kap26 [50]

Answer:

A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually. Hence, a pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions (H3O+) or hydrogen ions (H+) in the Arrhenius model.A pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution like water. A pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution. Ultimately, the pH value indicates how much H+ has dissociated from molecules within a solution. The lower the pH value, the higher concentration of H+ ions in the solution and the stronger the acid. Likewise, the higher the pH value, the lower the concentration of H+ ions in the solution and the weaker the acid.

Find the number of cations present in 7g of sodium prosphate Na=23 g/mol O=16g/mol P=31g/mol​
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:    This contains magnesium, Mg2+, and hydroxide, OH–

, ions. Each magnesium ion is +2 and

each hydroxide ion is -1: two -1 ions are needed for one +2 ion, and the formula for magnesium

hydroxide is Mg(OH)2. The (OH)2 indicates there are two OH–

ions. In a formula unit of

Mg(OH)2, there are one magnesium ion and two hydroxide ions; or one magnesium, two

oxygen, and two hydrogen atoms. The subscript multiplies everything in ( )

hope that helped!!
