Answer:

  91.7°C

Explanation:

We suppose you have a formula to work from. However, that is not supplied with this problem statement, so we looked one up.

The formula in the attachment is supposed to have good accuracy in the temperature range of interest. It gives vapor pressure of water in kPa, not mmHg, so we needed the conversion for that, too.

560 mmHg corresponds to about 74.66 kPa. The attached "Buck equation" formula is used to find the corresponding temperature. The exponential equation could be solved algebraically using logarithms and the quadratic formula, but we choose to find the solution graphically.

Water boils at about 91.7 °C on Mt. Whitney.

If the distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5, by what factor does the force on t
dexar [7]

Given :

The distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5.

To Find :

By what factor does the force on the neutral atom by the point charge change.

Solution :

We know, electrostatic force between two object is directly proportional to product of charge and inversely proportional to distance between them.

Now, charge in neutral atom is 0 C.

So, the electrostatic force between two of them is also 0 N.

Therefore, by changing distance between the charge the forces did no change ( it remains zero).

Which of the following liquids would have the highest viscosity at room temperature?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

5)HOCH2CH2OH

Explanation:

This is also known as ethylene glycol. An increase in hydrogen bonds of a compound means an increase in the viscosity. Hydrogen bonds occur as a result of bonding with electronegative elements such as Oxygen, Nitrogen etc.

The compounds with the highest amount of Hydrogen bond represents the one with the highest viscosity which is B) HOCH2CH2OH

Which salt is produced when sulfuric acid and calcium hydroxide react completely?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When sulfuric acid reacts with calcium hydroxide then it results in the formation of calcium sulfate and water.

The chemical reaction for the same will be as follows.

     H_{2}SO_{4} + Ca(OH)_{2} \rightarrow CaSO_{4} + 2H_{2}O

Thus, we can conclude that CaSO_{4} salt is produced when sulfuric acid and calcium hydroxide react completely.
