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.
1 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.

The molecule with higher dipole moment is COFH because the geometry of the molecule in the COF2 nearly cancel the dipolar moment of each other. To be more clear:
The dipolar moment is the vectorial sum of all bond moments in the molecule or dipolar moment of each bond. The dipolar moment of a molecule with three or more atoms is determined by bond polarity as their geometry.
COF2 has a trigonal planar structure which are symmetric. The electronegativity of oxygen is slightly different regarding fluor. So as you can see in the image, the electronic density is specially displaced to the fluor atoms, but either to the oxygen atom.
COFH has a trigonal structure but differs from COF2 because there is an hydrogen who is donating it's electronic density, so in this zone the electronic density is less than over oxygen or fluor. That makes bond angles be different between them.

Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as cation and oxide
is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
