Answer:

(a) Between methanol (CH₃OH) and glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃), the substance with the higher surface tension is glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃)

(b) Between tetrabromomethane (CBr₄) and chloroform (CHCl₃), the substance with the higher surface tension is chloroform (CHCl₃)

Explanation:

The surface tension of these substances at 20 °C given in mN/m, is as follows:

The surface tension of Methanol is 22.70

The surface tension of Tetrabromomethane is 26.95

The surface tension of Glycerol is 64.00

The surface tension of Chloroform is 27.50

(a) Between methanol (CH₃OH) and glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃), the substance with the higher surface tension is glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃)

(b) Between tetrabromomethane (CBr₄) and chloroform (CHCl₃), the substance with the higher surface tension is chloroform (CHCl₃)

Fusion is safer than fussion because....

Goryan [66]

Answer: B, a fusion recrion creates waste material that is easier to store than fission.

Fusion produces far less harmful waste than fission does. The reliance of something independent like whether a reaction will stop on its own when something goes wrong is never indefinite (technological failures are unpredictable and destructive a lot of the time when it comes down to nuclear power).

What is the new volume of a 61 L sample at STP that is moved to 183 K and 0.60 atm?

Volgvan

Answer: The new volume of a 61 L sample at STP that is moved to 183 K and 0.60 atm is 54.63 L.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 61 L, $T_{1}$ = 183 K, $P_{1}$ = 0.60 atm

At STP, the value of pressure is 1 atm and temperature is 273.15 K.

Now, formula used to calculate the new volume is as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{0.60 atm \times 61 L}{183 K} = \frac{1 atm \times V_{2}}{273.15 K}\\V_{2} = 54.63 L$

Thus, we can conclude that the new volume of a 61 L sample at STP that is moved to 183 K and 0.60 atm is 54.63 L.

The second reaction in the formation of sulfuric acid occurs slowly.

rjkz [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is $NO_2(g)$

<u>Explanation:</u>

A catalyst is defined as the chemical species that increases the reaction rate but does not participate in it and is left behind after the completion.

A homogeneous catalyst is one that is present in the same phase as the reactants and products.

A heterogeneous catalyst is one that is present in different phase as that of reactants and products.

For the given chemical reaction:

$2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

As all the reactants and products are in gaseous state so, the homogeneous catalyst must also be in the gaseous state only.

Hence, the correct option is $NO_2(g)$
