A student places a small amount of water in a glass dish and then carefully places a small paperclip on the surface of the water

. The paperclip floats. What happens if the student adds a drop or two of dish soap to the water? Explain your answer.

I believe that adding soap will make the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. Soap is a surfactant, which decreases the surface pressure of the water. The surface strain of water is what upheld the paperclip in the first place, so with the decrease in surface pressure the paper clip will fall.

Include: 
- Adding cleanser makes the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. 
- Soap is a surfactant. 
- Surfactants lessen the surface pressure of a fluid. 
- The surface strain of water is the thing that upheld the paper cut.

g The reaction; 4 Ag(s) + O2(g) ----> 2 Ag2O(s), is exothermic. Which statement about the reaction is correct? (A) It is spon
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. It is spontaneous only at low temperatures.

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum of reversible work that may be performed by a thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and pressure.

The spontaneity of a reaction is given by the equation:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

where:

ΔH: enthalpy variation

T: absolute temperature

ΔS: entropy variation

As the reaction is exothermic, ΔH<0

As the reaction order increases (the reagents are solid and gas and their product is solid), ΔS<0

Therefore, the reaction will be spontaneous when ΔG is negative.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

That is, the entropy term must be smaller than the enthalpy term.

Hence, the reaction will be spontaneous only at low temperatures.

Functional groups create active sites in molecules. The polar part of a molecule that can hydrogen bond to water is said be hydr
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Polar/Hydrophilic

Explanation:

Fluorine, Nitrogen and Oxygen are strong electronegative atoms and by definition, Electronegativity is the amount of pull or the high affinity of an atom to electrons.

Polar bond occurs when there is a high difference between the electronegativity value of both atoms that take part in the bond.

A polar molecule has a net dipole from the distribution of its positive and negayive charges. Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic (in chemistry, Polar) are terms dependent on the overall distribution of charge in its molecule.

Therefore, bonds between C-N, C-O and C-Cl are polar covalent bonds a d this is because of the jigh electronegativity possessed by Nitrogen, Oxygen and Chlorine.

There is about 1.0 g of calcium as Ca2+ in 1.0 L of milk. What is the molarity of Ca2+ in milk?
meriva

Explanation:

It is known that molarity is the number of moles present in a liter of solution.

           Molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}

Also, number of moles equal mass divided by molar mass. And, molar mass of calcium is 40.07 g/mol.

               No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                                     = \frac{1.0 g}{40.07 g/mol}

                                     = 0.025 mol

Therefore, calculate the molarity as follows.

             Molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}

                            = \frac{0.025 mol}{1.0 L}  

                            = 0.025 M

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of Ca^{2+} in milk is 0.025 M.
