Answer:
the attraction water molecules have to other surfaces
Explanation:
Adhesion is defined as the attractive forces between unlike substances, e.g water moving up a capillary tube.
Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another(Wikipedia).
So, what we mean by adhesion in this context, is the attraction water molecules to other surfaces.
Answer:
C: 4
Explanation:
In every single covalent bond, each atom shares one electron. 1 + 1 = 2. A double bond is just two bonds so, 2 x 2 = 4.
Answer: Iron loses three electrons and oxygen gain two electrons.
Explanation:
- this reaction represents the formation of rust of Fe.
4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3
- The Fe is oxidized by oxygen and converts from Fe (oxidation number = 0) to Fe3+ (oxidation number = 3+) that Fe loses 3 electrons.
- The oxygen is reduced and the oxidation state changed from 0 to 2- that oxygen loses 2 electrons.
- The other 2 choices are clear to be wrong.
Answer:
D. Fission
Explanation:
Induced fission is used to generate nuclear power and for weapons. The products formed during fission gain kinetic energy. It is this energy that is harnessed in nuclear power stations.
Answer:
Hydrogen gas is highly combustible, and leakage can lead to a catastrophic explosion. The concentration of hydrogen gas in the furnace is held constant at 6.022 x 1023 atoms/m3 and is effectively 0 outside the furnace. Calculate the mass flow rate (mg/hr) of hydrogen from the furnace if the diffusivity of hydrogen through the glass is 2 x 10-5 m2 /s. You may assume steady state behavior and constant diffusivity. You may assume that diffusion only occurs through the glass. The molar mass of hydrogen can be taken as 2 g/mol
