After spraying water on a waxed surface, a student notices that the water beads up to form many individual drops rather than bei

ng spread out evenly across the surface. What property of water causes it to bead up like this? A. the high boiling point of water B. the strong adhesion to other substances C. the high density of liquid water D. the ability to dissolve many other substances E. the strong cohesion between water molecules

The best answer would be:

E. The strong cohesion between water molecules.

Cohesion is the strong attraction between molecules of the same kind. Water has this property because of hydrogen. Hydrogen form strong bonds with each other which keep water molecules intact. When sprayed on a waxed surface they tend to bead because hydrogen bonds are more attracted to themselves, rather than the wax surface.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

-0.93 °C

Explanation:

Hello,

The freezing-point depression is given by:

T_f-T_f^*=-iK_{solvent}m_{solute}

Whereas T_f is the freezing temperature of the solution, T_f^* is the freezing temperature of the pure solvent (0 °C since it is water), i the Van't Hoff factor (1 since the solute is covalent), K_{f,solvent} the solvent's freezing point depression point constant (in this case 1.86 C\frac{kg}{mol}) and m_{solute} the molality of the glucose.

As long as the unknown is T_f, solving for it:

T_f=T_f^*-iK_fm\\T_f=0C-1*1.86C\frac{kg}{mol}*0.5\frac{mol}{kg}  \\T_f=-0.93C

Best regards.

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each of the following processes. Which are positive? (a) Gasoline vapors mix with air in a car eng
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

Which fraction of a Sr-20 sample remains unchanged after 87.3 years?
stiks02 [169]
First off there are some issues in your questions but I can still help in answering this type of problem. First, there is no Sr-20. The 4 abundant form includes Sr-84, Sr-88, Sr-87, Sr-86, Sr-84. 
More importantly, the half life of strontium must be given. 

For demonstration sake, let us assume Sr-85 is the isotope. It has a half-life of 64.853 days and I'm assuming the units of 87.3 is in days. 

A/Ao = e^-(ln2/t)T

where A- final amount Ao -initial amount t- halflife T-total time elapsed

% = <span>e^-(ln2/64.853)(87.3) = 0.3933 or 39.33%
