Chemistry
1 answer:

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.

25 g of a compound is added to 500 mL of water if the freezing point of the resulting solution is
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

a)   119 g/mol

Explanation:

-We apply the formula for freezing point depression to obtain the molality of the solution:

\bigtriangleup T_f=K_fm, \  \ K_f=1.36\textdegree C/m\\\\\therefore m=\frac{\bigtriangleup T_f}{K_f}\\\\=\frac{0.57\textdegree C}{1.36\textdegree C}\\\\=0.4191\ mol/Kg\\\\

#We use the molality above to calculate the molar mass:

m=\frac{0.4191\ mol}{1\ Kg}=\frac{25\ g}{0.5\ Kg}\\\\\therefore 1 \ mol=\frac{25\ g}{0.5\ Kg}\times\frac{1\ Kg}{ 0.4191}\\\\=119.3033\approx 119\ g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the compound is 119 g/mol

Does a negative exponent mean that the number is less than 1 yes or no​
Masja [62]

Answer:

When a number is written in scientific notation, the exponent tells you if the term is a large or a small number. A positive exponent indicates a large number and a negative exponent indicates a small number that is between 0 and 1.

kondaur [170]
<span>In the Bohr model electrons in atoms can occupy allowed orbits where they do not emit energy. Exchange of energy with the surrounding environment occurs only when an electron "jumps" from an orbit to another. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Is apple juice a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture
Solnce55 [7]

If you mean the industrialized apple juice then yes. Even though there are several different compounds and some of them aren't actually dissolved in the liquid, since you can't actually distinguish between them using only your eyes and they do no separate naturally it is actually a homogeneous mixture.

In the haber process, ammonia is synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen: n2 (g) + 3h2 (g) → 2nh3 (g) δg° at 298 k for this react
allsm [11]

Answer:

e- 7.25 x 10³.

Explanation:

∵ ΔG = -RTlnK,

where, ΔG is the free energy change.

R is the general gas constant (R = 8.324 J/mol.K).

K is the equilibrium constant of the reaction.

  • For the reaction: <em>N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g),</em>

K = (PNH₃)²/(PN₂)(PH₂)³ = (0.65)²/(1.9)(1.6)³ = 5.43 x 10⁻².

∵ ΔG = -RTlnK.

∴ ΔG = -(8.314 J/mol.K)(298 K) ln(5.43 x 10⁻²) = 7.218 x 10³ J/mol.
