A bug walking on the surface of a puddle is depending on HIGH SURFACE TENSION BECAUSE OF THE ATTRACTION BETWEEN WATER MOLECULES.

Water has a lot of interesting properties due to the hydrogen bonds that hold its molecules together. One of the interesting property of water is surface tension.

Surface tension refers to the property of the water surface, which enables it to resist an external force. The cohesive forces among the water molecules is responsible for the surface tension. The surface tension of water allow small animals such as insects to walk on water.

The weight of a sack potato in india is 50kgf. will the weight increase or decrease in bhutan. why​
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Assume that the sack was initially close to the sea level. Its weight will increase even though its mass stays the same.

Explanation:

The weight of an object typically refers to the size of the planet's gravitational attraction (a force) on this object. That's not the same as the mass of the object. The weight of an object at a position depends on the size of the gravitational field there; on the other hand, the mass of the object is supposed to be same regardless of the location- as long as the object stays intact.

Let g denote the strength of the gravitational field at a certain point. If the mass of an object is m, its weight at that point will be m \cdot g.

Indeed, g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} on many places of the earth. However, this value is accurate only near the sea level. The equation for universal gravitation is a more general way for finding the strength of the gravitational field at an arbitrary height. Let G denote the constant of universal gravitation, and let M denote the mass of the earth. At a distance r from the center of the earth (where

\displaystyle g \approx \frac{G \cdot M}{r^2}.

The elevation of many places in Bhutan are significantly higher than that of many places in India. Therefore, a sack of potato in Bhutan will likely be further away from the center of the earth (larger r) compared to a sack of potato in India.

Note, that in the approximation, the value of g is (approximately, because the earth isn't perfectly spherical) inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the planet. The gravitational field strength

On the other hand, the weight of an object of fixed mass is proportional to the gravitational field strength. Therefore, the same bag of potatoes will have a smaller weight at most places in Bhutan compared to most places in India.

Which of these half-reactions represents reduction?
gogolik [260]

Answer: The half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Explanation:

A half-reaction where addition of electrons take place or a reaction where decrease in oxidation state of an element  takes place is called reduction-half reaction.

For example, the oxidation state of Cr in Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} is +6 which is getting converted into +3, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3 e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

Similarly, oxidation state of Mn in MnO^{-}_{4} is +7 which is getting converted into +2, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

MnO^{2-}_{4} + 5 e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Thus, we can conclude that half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Use the information provided to determine ΔH°rxn for the following reaction: ΔH°f (kJ/mol) 3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO2
zepelin [54]

Answer:

ΔH°rxn = -47 kJ

Explanation:

Using Hess´s law for the reaction:

3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) ,

the ΔH°rxn will be given by the expression:

ΔH°rxn kJ  =   2ΔHºf(Fe3O4)  + ΔHºf(CO2)   - ( 3ΔHºf(Fe2O3) + ΔHºf(CO) )

=  2(-1118) + (-394) - ( 3( -824 ) + ( -111 ) )

= - 47 kJ
