Adhesion describes water's attraction to _____. other water molecules other substances hydrogen molecules acids and bases

Chemistry

worty [1.4K]4 years ago

The correct answer is "other substances."

Cohesion occurs when particles of a substance stick together. So sticking of water molecules with one another is cohesion.

Adhesion is the opposite of cohesion. It occurs when particles of different substance attract to each other. For example, water sticks to glass. Thus water's attraction to other substances is adhesion.

Adhesion describes water's attraction to other substances. 

The term Adhesion refers to the tendency of particles or surfaces which are not similar to cling to one another. So basically, the adhesion occurs in water when the water is attracted or cling to other substance not similar to water.

Figure 2 represents part of the structure of graphite.
Paul [167]

The answers include the following:

  • Graphite conducts electricity because it has delocalised electrons which makes it possible for the electrons to move freely.
  • Graphite is slippery because it has layers which makes it possible for the atoms to slide over each other.

<h3>What is Graphite?</h3>

This is referred to as an allotrope of carbon and it is the most stable form. it is used in the production of substances such as pencil, electrode etc.

Graphite is able to conduct electricity because of the presence of delocalized electrons and is slippery due to its atoms being able to slide over one another.

The density of copper metal is 8.9 g/mL. What is the volume of 2.5 kg of this metal?
AlekseyPX

Answer:- The volume of copper is 280 mL.

Solution:- Density and mass of copper metal are given and it asks to calculate the volume of it.

Density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the volume. The density formula is:

D=\frac{M}{V}

where D stands for density, M stands for mass and V stands for volume.

Since, the problem asks to calculate the volume, let's rearrange the formula for volume.

V=\frac{M}{D}

The given density is 8.9 grams per mL and the mass is 2.5 kg. We need to convert the mass unit from kg to g so that the g unit could be canceled while calculating volume.

The conversion factor is, 1kg = 1000g

2.5kg(\frac{1000g}{1kg})

= 2500g

Let's plug in the values in the density formula to calculate the volume.

\frac{2500g}{\frac{8.9g}{mL}}

= 280.89 mL

If the sig figs are considered then the answer needs to be round to two sig figs and hence the volume becomes 280 mL.

In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 1 mol NaOH and 1 mol HBr initially at 22.5 oC (Celsius) are mixed in 100g of water to yield the fol
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

ΔH = -55.92 kJ

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

1 mol NaOH and 1 mol HBr initially at 22.5 °C are mixed in 100g of water

After mixing the temperature rises to 83 °C

Specific heat of the solution = 4.184 J/g °C

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 G/mol

Molar mass of HBr = 80.9 g/mol

<u>Step 2: </u>The balanced equation

NaOH + HBr → Na+(aq) + Br-(aq) + H2O(l)

<u>Step 3:</u> mass of NaOH

Mass = moles * Molar mass

Mass NaOH = 1 * 40 g/mol

Mass NaOH = 40 grams

Step 4: Mass of HBr

Mass HBr = 1 mol * 80.9 g/mol

Mass HBr = 80.9 grams

Step 5: Calculate ΔH

ΔH = m*c*ΔT

ΔH= (100 + 40 + 80.9) * 4.184 * (83-22.5)

ΔH= 220.9 * 4.184 * 60.5

ΔH= 55916.86 J = 55.92 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is negative.

ΔH = -55.92 kJ
