CHEM HELP PLSSSSS, I SUCK AT CHEM

Chemistry

Answer:

The answer to your question is because of surface tension

Explanation:

Surface tension is defined as the property of the surface of a liquid that allows  it to resists an external force.

From the definition, we conclude that the molecules at the surface of water are extremely close and do not allow certain bugs to penetrate it so they can walk through it.

While the molecules at the surface of octane are not as close as those molecules in water so a bug sinks on it.

In conclusion, the surface tension of water is higher than the surface tension in octane.

The electrolyte magnesium chloride (MgCl2) will break up into how many individual particles in water (what is the i value)?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Solid magnesium chloride is a non-conductor of electricity because the ions aren't free to move. However, it undergoes electrolysis when the ions become free on melting. Magnesium chloride dissolves in water to give a faintly acidic solution (pH = or 6).

If a object has a mass of 10 kilograms, how much does it weigh in newtons?
Len [333]
Depends on where the object is. On earth, moon , or somewhere without any other mass (theoretically). I think you mean how much does weigh on earth. So, the average gravitational acceleration on earth is : 9.83 m/s^2 To find out how much an object weighs, this is the formula : G=m.g where m is mass of the object g is the gravitational acceleration and G is weight. So, G = 10.9,83 = 98,3 N is the answer.

The specific heat of zinc is 0.39 J/g*°C. How much energy needed to change the temperature of 34g of zinc from 22°C to 57°C. Is
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

464.1 J absorbed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of zinc =  0.39 J/g°C

Mass of zinc = 34 g

Temperature changes = 22°C to 57°C

Energy absorbed or released = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 57°C -  22°C

ΔT = 35°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 34 g. 0.39 J/g°C. 35°C

Q = 464.1 J
