Answer:cohesion is the action or fact of forming a united whole.

Water is very cohesive in that it "sticks" to itself. Cohesion is what allows a water droplet to form, for example. When water molecules surround one another, they settle toward a low energy state. ... Adhesion and cohesion are water properties that affect living and non-living things on earth through water molecules.

Answer:

Cohesion is the effect of hydroden bonds holding the water molecules together.

the hydrogen bonds keep the wait molecules sticking together.

(water moves up planets because of cohesion.Long colums of water can be sucked up from roots to leave without the colums breaking) hope this help xD

Imagine that you could dive deep into the Atlantic Ocean where the South American plate and African plate meet at a plate bounda
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

At the plate boundary, there would be a divergent boundary where we can see a mid ocean ridge and a gap. We would be able to see the mantle because there would be a fissure from where magma will rise and solidify.    

Explanation:

Under the South American plate and African plate, there are currents that cause a divergent boundary. They create this boundary since they pull the tectonic plates apart, causing a mid-ocean ridge with an opening that allows the rising of the magma that was underneath. Once that the magma is out, it solidifies, and the currents will try to create another ridge to repeat the process.

When the plates are apart, the mantle that is beneath is exposed, and we can see the magma.

HELP PLEASE!!! Write the chemical equation and balance it!!!
nirvana33 [79]
You can start by writing out the molecular formula of each molecule.

Aluminum (Al 3+) Phosphate (PO4 3-)

AlPO4

Nickel II (Ni 2+) sulfide (S 2-)

NiS

Aluminum Sulfide

Al2S3

Nickel Phosphate

Ni3(PO4)2

If you’re wondering, we get those charges by looking at the periodic table. The metals usually have a + charge based on their group number. The nonmetals usually - charge egual to 8 - their group number.

You then balance the ions by flipping the charges, dropping the signs, and adding them in as subscripts.

Now we can put it into an equation


AlPO4 + NiS —-> Al2S3 + Ni3(PO4)2

Balance by adding coefficients

2 AlPO4 + 3 NiS —-> Al2S3 + Ni3(PO4)2

andrew11 [14]

Answer;

FeSO4 (aq) + H2 (g)

Explanation;

The reaction between iron and dilute sulfuric acid gives a salt and hydrogen gas. (iron (ii) sulfate and hydrogen gas).

The equation for the reaction is;

Fe(s) + H2SO4 (aq) = FeSO4(aq) +H2(g)

Which statements accurately describe soap? Select one or more:
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

A. Soaps react with ions in hard water to create a precipitate.

B. Soaps are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic.

D. Soaps should be weakly alkaline in solution.

Explanation:

A. Hard water contains <u>magnesium and calcium minerals</u> like calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulfates and bicarbonates. As soon as these minerals come in contact with soap their ions like Mg²⁺ & Ca²⁺ form precipitates.

B. Soap are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. They reason why they exhibit both the properties is really important for their functionality. The hydrophobic part of soap makes interaction with oil/dust particles while the hydrophilic part makes interaction with water. When the cloth is rinsed the dirt/soap particles are removed from the dirty clothes thereby making them clean.

C. Soaps have alkaline pH i.e. more than 7 that is why they have bitter taste.
