What property of water molecules leads to high surface tension?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago
6 0
"<span>Cohesion" is the property of water molecules that leads to high surface tension.
</span>
Surface tension is defined as the energy or the work required to increase the surface area of a liquid as a result of intermolecular forces.

In water molecules, the hydrogen ends, which are positive compared to oxygen ends, cause the water molecules to stick together, thus, increasing its surface tension.

A 7.50 liter sealed jar at 18 degrees C contains 0.125 moles of oxygen and 0,125 moles of nitrogen gas. What is the pressure in
LiRa [457]
PV = nRT —> P = nRT/V
n = 0.250 moles of gas
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K
T = 18 + 273 = 291 K
V = 7.50 L

P = (0.250)(0.08206)(291)/(7.50) = 7.96 atm

Which statement best describes the effect of radioactive decay on a nucleus?
KATRIN_1 [288]

When radioactive decay occurs, the original nucleus splits into daughter nuclei and the resulting nucleus is more stable than the original nucleus. The nucleus can be of a different element than the original.

Unstable nuclei often undergo radioactive decay. In a radioactive decay, the unstable nucleus is broken up into other nuclei. Usually, the nuclei formed during radioactive decay are smaller in mass compared to the original nucleus.

Also, the resulting nucleus is more stable than the original nucleus. The nucleus can be of a different element than the original.

The chemical force for which of the following ions is directed into the cell? The chemical force for which of the following ions
Over [174]

Answer:

Both sodium and calcium.

Explanation:

The membrane potential is maintained inside and outside of the cell due to the unequal distribution of the different ions. This membrane potential difference is important for the generation of action potential.

The resting membrane potential is around +30 mV. This is due to the presence of potassium ions. The sodium and calcium ions must enter in the cell to change this membrane potential and generates the action potential in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
