than that of water at the same temperature. Explain your answer.

7 0

Explanation:

It is known that octane is a hydrocarbon and London dispersion forces are the main intermolecular forces which are present in it.

Whereas water molecules tend to form hydrogen bonding forces which are actually much stronger than dipole-dipole interactions. This means that more energy is necessary to separate water molecules from one another than to separate octane molecules from one another.

Hence, we can conclude that surface tension of octane is expected to be lower than that of water when the two are considered at the same temperature.

A circular wire loop of radius 15.0 cm carries a current of 2.60
Korolek [52]
Part (a): Magnetic dipole moment

Magnetic dipole moment = IA, I = Current, A = Area of the loop
Then,
Magnetic dipole moment = 2.6*π*0.15^2 = 0.184 Am^2

Part (b): Torque acting on the loop
T = IAB SinФ, where B = Magnetic field, Ф = Angle
Then,
T = Magnetic dipole moment*B*SinФ = 0.184*12*Sin 41 = 1.447 Nm

The zone of earthquakes and volcanoes surrounding the pacific ocean is called
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The Ring of Fire

Explanation:

The ring of fire is also called the Circum-Pacific Belt, it is a path along the pacific ocean consisting of active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

It has a length of approximately 40,000 kilometers. It lies on the edge of tectonic plates where the in-earth vibrations and geothermal energies are prone to erupt out.

Ring of fire inhibits about 75% o the earth's volcanoes and 95% of earthquakes occur in this region.
