Water can resist a greater external force than ethanol can . Which statement best describes the difference

Chemistry

ANTONII [103]4 years ago

<span>Water can resist a greater external force than ethanol due to its greater surface tension.

Reason:
             
Surface Tension in liquids is caused by the cohesive forces among the molecules of liquids at the surface. Means the liquids molecules at the surface have a net attractive interactions with molecules beneath them and cause them to contract causing tension.
              Now comparing water and ethanol, water has stronger intermolecular interactions than ethanol because water has two Hydrogen bongd donors (i.e. Hydrogens directly attached to oxygen atom) while ethanol has only one Hydrogen Bond Donors. This strong intermolecular interactions in water makes greater surface tension.</span>

Water is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume is recorded as 43.5 ml. a homogeneous sample of metal pellets with a mass
natulia [17]
Density = mass /volume of the body. mass = 10.88 g, volume of the liquid displaced= 49.4-43.5=5.9 ml.

density = 10.88/5.9=1.844 g/ml~1.84 g/ml

The volume displaced is exactly the same as that of the body (The Eureka fro Archimedes!)

The transfer of a phosphate group to a molecule or compound is called The transfer of a phosphate group to a molecule or compoun
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Phosphorylation

Explanation:

Phosphorylation is the term used to describe the transfer of a phosphate group (PO34-) from a donor to a receptor molecule or compound. The process of phosphorylation is usually catalysed by a biological enzyme called KINASE.

Phosphorylation can either be addition of an inorganic phosphate to a molecule. For example, addition of phosphate group to ADP to form ATP, or the donation of a phosphate group to another molecule, e.g transfer of phosphate from ATP to glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate during glycolysis.

How much energy is released when 0.40 mol C6H6(g) completely reacts with oxygen?
Vsevolod [243]
 <span>This question asksyou to apply Hess's law. 
You have to look for how to add up all the reaction so that you get the net equation as the combustion for benzene. The net reaction should look something like C6H6(l)+ O2 (g)-->CO2(g) +H2O(l). So, you need to add up the reaction in a way so that you can cancel H2 and C. 
multiply 2 H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O(l) delta H= -572 kJ by 3 
multiply C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) delta H= -394 kJ by 12 
multiply 6C(s) + 3 H2(g) --> C6H6(l) delta H= +49 kJ by 2 after reversing the equation. 
Then, 
6 H2(g) + 3O2 (g) --> 6H2O(l) delta H= -1716 kJ 
12C(s) + 12O2(g) --> 12CO2(g) delta H= -4728 kJ 
2C6H6(l) --> 12 C(s) + 6 H2(g) delta H= - 98 kJ 
______________________________________... 
2C6H6(l) + 16O2 (g)-->12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) delta H= - 6542 kJ 
I hope this helps and my answer is right.</span>

Hello, and this is my own words Periodic trends are specific patterns in the properties of chemical elements that are revealed in the periodic table of elements. Major periodic trends include electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radii, ionic radius, metallic character, and chemical reactivity.

Hope This Helps. and have good day!
