What is surface tension? How does surface tension result from intermolecular forces? How is it related to the strength of interm

Bond [772]3 years ago

Answer:

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible.

Surface tension is caused by effects of intermolecular forces at liquid interface.

Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases.

Explanation:

  • Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. It can also be seen as the energy required to increase the surface of a liquid by a unit amount.
  • Surface tension is caused by the mediating effects of intermolecular forces at the liquid interfaces. Example in water, surface tension is caused by the mediating effect of the force between hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Liquids tends to reduce their surface area because of inward attarction of the liquid molecules.
  • Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases. Also, surface tension decreases as intermolecular forces decreases.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

her acceleration is 1 m/sec

Explanation:

The following information is given in the question

The initial velocity is 5 m/s

After 10 seconds, she would be moved at 15 m/s

We need to find the acceleration

As we know that

Acceleration = Change in speed ÷ time

Acceleration = (15 - 5) ÷ (10)

= 1 m/sec

Hence, her acceleration is 1 m/sec

The same would be considered

] A new coal-fired 750 MWe power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, which contains 1.1% sulfur. a. I
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

Explanation:

Given that:

The power or the power plant = 750 MWe

Since the power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% (i.e. 0.42) burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, Then the energy released per one lb of the coal can be computed as:

\mathtt{=( 0.42\times 9000\times 1055.06) J}

= 3988126.8  J

= 3.99 MJ

Also, The mass of the burned coal per sec can be calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the power plant by the energy released per one lb.

i.e.

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec =\dfrac{750}{3.99}

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec = 187.97 lb/s

The mass of sulfur burned  = \dfrac{1.1}{100} \times 187.97 \  lb/s

= 2.067 lb/s

To hour; we have:

= 7444 lb/hr

However, If a scrubber with 75% removal efficiency is utilized,

Then; the net emissions rate of sulfur is (1 - 0.75) × 7444 lb/hr

= 0.25 × 7444 lb/hr

= 1861 lb/hr

Hence, the net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

In hydrogen, the transition from level 2 to level 1 has a rest wavelength of 121.6 nm.1).Find the speed for a star in which this
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1). v = - 2960526m/s

2). Toward us

3). v = - 493421m/s

4). Toward us

5). v = 1480263m/s

6).  Away from us

7). v = 3207236m/s

8). Away from us

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest is 121.6 nm (\lambda_{0} = 121.6nm)

Redshift: \lambda_{measured} > \lambda_{0}

Blueshift: \lambda_{measured} < \lambda_{0}

Then, for this particular case it is gotten:

Star 1: \lambda_{measured} = 120.4nm

Star 2: \lambda_{measured} = 121.4nm

Star 3: \lambda_{measured} = 122.2nm

Star 4: \lambda_{measured} = 122.9nm

Star 1:

Blueshift: 120.4nm < 121.6nm

Toward us

Star 2:

Blueshift: 121.4nm < 121.6nm

Toward us

Star 3:

Redshift: 122.2nm > 121.6nm

Away from us

Star 4:

Redshift: 122.9nm > 121.6nm

Away from us

Due to that shift the velocity of the star can be determine by means of Doppler velocity.

v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}  (1)

Where \Delta \lambda is the wavelength shift, \lambda_{0} is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}- \lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}) (2)

<em>Case for star 1 \lambda_{measured} = 120.4 nm:</em>

<em></em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{120.4nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = - 2960526m/s

Notice that the negative velocity means that is approaching to the observer.

<em>Case for star 2 \lambda_{measured} = 121.4 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{121.4nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = - 493421m/s

<em>Case for star 3 \lambda_{measured} = 122.2 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{122.2nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = 1480263m/s

<em>Case for star 4 \lambda_{measured} = 122.9 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{122.9nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = 3207236m/s
