Answer:

Forces between similar molecules are said to be cohesive while those between different types of molecules are said to be adhesive.

Water 'beads' due to its strong cohesive forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is concave because the adhesive forces are strong.

Explanation:

The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.

How many sodium ions are in 1.4 kg of sodium chloride, NaCl?

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NaCl = 1.4kg = 1400g

Unknown:

Number of ions of sodium = ?

Solution:

The compound NaCl in ionic form can be written as;

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

In 1 mole of NaCl we have 1 mole of sodium ions

Now, let us find the number of moles in NaCl;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{1400}{58.5}$ = 23.93mol

So;

Since 1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of Na⁺

In 23.93 mole of NaCl will give 23.93 mole of Na⁺

1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ ions of a substance

23.93 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ x 23.93

= 1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Which of the following is the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent?

Lyrx [107]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone $CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3}$ is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula $C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}$ .

A camphor is a volatile white color substance with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{16}O$ . It has aromatic smell and its taste is bitter.

A menthone is also an organic compound with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{18}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent is acetone.

How many moles of water as a gas can be formed 2.45 L

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

0.11mole

Explanation:

Let us assume that the condition is at standard temperature and pressure(STP);

Given parameters:

Volume of water = 2.45L

Unknown:

Number of moles found in this volume of water = ?

Solution;

At STP;

Number of moles = $\frac{volume of gas}{22.4}$

Input the parameters and solve;

Number of moles of water = $\frac{2.45}{22.4}$ = 0.11mole

The number of moles of water found is 0.11mole

How many liters of O2 at 298 K and 1.00 bar are produced in 1.50 hr in an electrolytic cell operating at a current of 0.0200 A?

stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.0069L

Explanation:

2H2O(l) ---->O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e-

no of moles= it/eF

NO of moles of O2 produced = (Current in Ampere x Time in second)/ (Faraday constant x Number of electrons required)

Moles of O2 produced = (0.02x (60 x 60X1.5 s)/(96485 x 4)

= 0.0002798 moles= 2.798x 10 ^-4moles

Using ideal gas equation,

P V = n R T

Where, P is the pressure,

V is the volume,

n is the number of moles,

R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature

We have, 1 bar = 0.986923 atm

Substituting the values,

V = nRT/P = (2.798 x 10-4moles x 0.08205 L atm mol K x 298 K)/ 0.986923 atm = 0.0069L

Volume of O2 produced = 0.0069L
