What's wrong with this setup is the substrate on which you have positioned the drop is "dirty and unclean" meaning it is not being dampened by the solution. This action can be corrected by comprehensively cleaning the substrate where the drop will be positioned.

Formation of lens occurs because the substrate is dirty and it can be corrected by proper cleaning the substrate on which drop is being added.

Further Explanation:

Proper thinking about any scientific problem, subject or content, observation, hypothesis, comparison, organization, prediction, experimentation, evaluation and application are included in wide term called scientific method.

Steps to proceed in scientific method:

  • Understanding the experiment
  • Pose a testable question
  • Research the topic
  • State a hypothesis
  • Design the experiment
  • Perform the experiment
  • Data collection
  • Draw conclusions

Experiment is a method or process designed for a particular purpose and is an important part of the scientific method. This includes both dependent and independent variables.

When performing the experiment, first drop of oleic acid or benzene solution is added and a lens is formed immediately. This occurs because the substrate on which the drop is being added is not clean and therefore it cannot become wet by addition of solution and forms a lens. This situation can be corrected by proper cleaning of the substrate on which drop of the solution is to be added.

diagram 1 above shows equimolar samples of two gases inside a container fitted with a removable barrier placed so that each gas
vampirchik [111]

This problem is describing the state two gases have when separated and together as shown on the attached picture. First of all, diagram 1 shows how they are separated in two containers with apparently equal volumes, whereas diagram 2 shows the removal of the barrier so that they get mixed together.

In this case, we can analyze that each gas has its own pressure and due to the removal of the barrier, both pressure and volume undergo a change. Thus, we can infer that the final volume is doubled with respected to the initial one for each gas, causing the pressure of each gas to be halved and the total pressure the half of the added ones, in agreement to the Boyle's law (inversely proportional relationship between pressure and temperature).

Therefore, the correct choice is:

C. The partial pressure of each gas in the mixture is half its initial pressure; the final total pressure is half the sum of the initial pressures of the two gases.
