Answer: <span>C) Soap is a surfactant that disrupts the intermolecular forces of water making the paperclip sink.</span>

Explanation:

1) This is the set of choices that comes with this question:
<span>A) Soap is a surfactant that increases the intermolecular forces of water allowing the paperclip to continue to float.</span>

<span>B) Soap makes the water less viscous making the paperclip sink.</span>

<span>C) Soap is a surfactant that disrupts the intermolecular forces of water making the paperclip sink.</span>

<span> D) Soap makes the water more viscous allowing the paperclip to continue to float. </span>

2) Justification:

The paperclip is denser that water, so it should sink into the water. Then, why is the paperclip floating?


The papeclip is floating due to the high surface tension of the water.

The surface tension is the force that tends to keep the molecules of a liquid together resisting the spread due to other forces (gravity for example). The surface tension is what makes that a drop of water over a table keeps round and like a hemisphere instead of spreading along all the surface of the table.

That very same force makes it possible that some insects can stand over water and is the responsible for the meniscus that you see in the thin tubes that contain water (e.g. in the test tubes in your chemistry lab).

By the way, that strong intermolecular forces that keep the molecules of water attracted to each other is due the hydrogen bonds.


The soap is a surfactant which reduces the surface tension of the water, this is it disrupts the intermolecular forces of water, and that is what the option C) tells.

Answer:

Soap is a surfactant that disrupts the intermolecular forces of water making the paperclip sink.

Explanation:

Soap is a surfactant, so it will disrupt the surface and make the paperclip fall through.

What is the pH for a 0.10 M HCI solution at 25<br> degreesCelsius?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1.0

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, that is, an acid that dissociates completely, according to the following reaction.

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Then, the concentration of H⁺ will be equal to the initial concentration of the acid, i.e., 0.10 M.

We can calculate the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 0.10 = 1.0

What is the theoretical yield of sodium oxide (Na₂O) in grams when 20.0g of calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with an excess amount of
ad-work [718]

Answer:

22.1g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CaO + 2NaCl —> Na2O + CaCl2

Next, we shall determine the mass of CaO that reacted and the mass of Na2O produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56g/mol

Mass of CaO from the balanced equation = 1 x 56 = 56g

Molar mass of Na2O = (23x2) + 16 = 62g/mol

Mass of Na2O from the balanced equation = 1 x 62 = 62g

From the balanced equation above,

56g of CaO reacted to produce 62g of Na2O.

Finally, we can determine the theoretical yield of Na2O as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

56g of CaO reacted to produce 62g of Na2O.

Therefore, 20g of CaO will react to produce = (20 x 62)/56 = 22.1g of Na2O.

Therefore, the theoretical yield of Na2O is 22.1g

Answer:

21091mg of aspirin the person need to consume

Explanation:

To solve this question we must find the mass of the person in kg. Knowing the lethal dose for aspirin is 400mg/kg of person, we can find the amount of aspirin that the person need to consume to get a lethal dose:

<em>Mass person:</em>

116lb * (1kg / 2.2lb) = 52.7kg

<em>Lethal dose:</em>

52.7kg * (400mg / kg) =
