Answer:

The answer is d. water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid

Explanation: Surface tension is defined as the attraction on the water of like particles to one another. Water molecules on a surface undergoes cohesion or the sticking together of one molecule to another of the same material.

Answer:

D)Water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid.

Explanation:

Buoyant force that is provided by water molecules such that the object can float on the surface of the water. According to Archimedes principle for flotation to occur the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the object.  If the buoyant force is less than the weight of the object, then the object will sink.

What mass of natural gas (CH4) must you burn to emit 264 kJ of heat?
mariarad [96]
The heat released by cpmolete the combustion of organic products with oxygen is called heat of combustion.

Here 1 mol of CH4 realesed 802.3 KJ

To emit 264 kJ you multiply you need (1 mol of CH4/802.3 kJ)* 264 kJ = 0.329 mol of CH4

The molar mass, MM, of CH4 is 12 g/mol + 4*1g/mol = 16 g/mol

The to obtain the mass multiply the number of moles times the molar mass:

mass = n * MM = 0.329mol * 16g/mol = 5.26 grams

Answer: 5.26 grams
