Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Cohesion is usually defined as the contrasting property by which the water molecules are attached to one another, and adhesion is the property by which the molecular substances are linked to the molecules of other substances.

Since, the water molecules are able to form inter-molecular hydrogen bonding, so they are comprised of strong cohesive force.

And, as the water molecules are able to stick to the walls of the container, so they tend to show more of the properties for adhesion.

Thus, according to the given condition, water molecules are sticking to other substances and this is the property of adhesion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

A compound that contains both potassium and oxygen formed when potassium metal was burned in oxygen gas. the mass of the compoun
Artemon [7]
Answer:
             3.2 g of O₂

Solution:
             This reaction is for the formation of Potassium Superoxide, The reaction is as follow,

                                           K  +  O₂     →     KO₂

First let us confirm that either the given amount of Potassium produces the given amount of Potassium oxide or not,
So,
As,
                39.098 g (1 mole) K produced  =  71.098 g of K₂O
So,
                          3.91 g of K will produce  =  X g of K₂O

Solving for X,
                      X  =  (3.91 g × 71.098 g) ÷ 39.098

                      X  =  7.11 g of K₂O

Hence, it is confirmed that we have selected the right equation,
So,
As,
                     39.098 g of K required  =  32 g of O₂
So,
                     3.91 g of K will require  =  X g of O₂

Solving for X,
                     X  =  (3.91 g × 32 g) ÷ 39.098 g

                     X  =  3.2 g of O₂

How can convection in the mantle affect the positions of Earth's continents?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Scientists believe that convection circulation within the mantle helps continents to move. As heat from Earth's innermost layer—the core—transfers to the bottom layer of mantle rock, the rock warms, softens, and rises upward. ... This churning motion in the mantle appears to be a major factor in plate movement.
