Answer: surface tension

Explanation: the tiny weight of insect is not strong enough to break the surface tension of water. So when insects stands or move on water, their feets creates something like dimples on the surface of water which then spring back to propel the insect forward thereby preventing them from sinking.

Chemical energy is stored in our food. What form of energy did this chemical energy start out as?
evablogger [386]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plants used to prepare food in the presence of sunlight. Therefore, plants uses solar energy to make food.

Due to solar energy various chemical reactions take place in the food.

Thus, we can conclude that chemical energy is stored in our food and this chemical energy start out as light energy from the sun.

In which of these diatomic molecules would you NOT find an octet of electrons
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The hydrogen molecule is the only one in which can not find an octet of electrons around each atom.

Explanation:

Let's evaluate each case.  

1. Nitrogen (N₂):

With Z = 7, nitrogen has the following electronic configuration

1s²

2s² 2p³  → valence electrons

Since its valence electrons are 5, in the molecule one nitrogen atom shares 3 electrons with the other one, and each remains with an electron pair, so <u>each atom has an octet of electrons.</u>

2. Hydrogen (H₂):

With Z = 1, its electronic configuration is:

1s¹  → valence electron

In the molecule, the hydrogen atoms share the only electron they have, so they will have only 2 electrons around. In this diatomic molecule, <em><u>we can not find an octet.</u></em>

3. Oxygen (O₂):

Z = 8. Electronic configuration:

1s²

2s² 2p⁴  → valence electrons

In the diatomic molecule, each oxygen atom shares 2 electrons with the other one and remains with 2 pairs of electrons, therefore, <u>each oxygen atom has an octet</u>.      

4. Fluorine (F₂)

Z = 9. Electronic configuration:

1s²

2s² 2p⁵  → valence electrons

In this molecule, each fluorine atom shares 1 electron with the other and remains with 3 pairs of electrons, hence, <u>each fluorine atom has an octet of electrons around</u>.

Finally, we can say that the hydrogen molecule is the only one in which can not find an octet of electrons around each atom.

I hope it helps you!

Bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. on the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter
Alisiya [41]

Answer:Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

Explanation:

Bond length : It is an average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.

Also given that bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. on the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter-nuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Beyond this if atoms come closer to each other then their will be repulsion between them.

So, the bond length between the Hydrogen and Chlorine atom in HCl molecule is :

Bond length=radius _{hydrogen}+radius_{chlorine}=25pm+100pm=125pm

Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

calculate how much acid (acetic acid) and how much conjugate base (sodium acetate) must be used to make 500ml of a 0.8m acetate
kirza4 [7]

For the desired pH of 5.76, 0.365 mol of acetate and 0.035 mol of acid are to be added

let the concentration of acetate be x

then the concentration of acid will be (0.8 - x)

pKa of acetate buffer = 4.76

pH = pKa + log([acetate]/[acid])

⇒4.76 = 4.76 + log(x/(0.8-x))

⇒log(x/(0.8-x)) = 0

⇒x/(0.8-x) = 1

⇒x = 0.4

Therefore

[acetate] = x = 0.4

[acid] = 0.8-x =0.4 M

number of mol = concentration *(volume in mL)

number of mol of acetate = 0.4*0.5

= 0.20 mol

number of mol acid = 0.4*0.5

= 0.20 mol

when desired pH = 5.76

pH = pKa + log([acetate]/[acid])

⇒5.76 = 4.76 + log(x/(0.8-x))

⇒log(x/(0.8-x)) = 1

⇒x/(0.8-x) = 10

⇒x = 8 - 10x

⇒x = 8/11

⇒x= 0.73

[acetate] = x= 0.73

[acid] = 0.8-x = 0.07 M

number of mol = concentration * (volume in mL)

number of mol acetate to be added = 0.73*0.5 = 0.365 mol

number of mol acid to be added = 0.07*0.5 = 0.035 mol

Problem based on acetic acid required to maintain a certain pH
