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.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the specific heat of material be s

heat lost by material = m₁ s (T 1 - T ) ,  (T 1 - T ) is fall in temp , m₁ is mass of material

= .45 x s x (91 - 31.4 )

= 26.82 s

Heat gained by water

= m₂ cw (T2 - T )

1.3 x 4186 x ( 31.4 - 23 )

heat lost = heat gained

m₂ cw (T2 - T ) = m₁ s (T 1 - T )

1.3 x 4186 x ( 31.4 - 23 ) =  .45 x s x (91 - 31.4 )

45711.12 = 26.82 s

s = 1704.36

Difference between object distance and image distance within 4 points .(class 10)​
Sergio039 [100]

The relationship between object distance, image distance, and focal length of a spherical mirror is given by

1/f=1/v+1/u

Where

f= focal length of a spherical mirror (distance between the pole and the principal focus of the mirror)

u= object distance (distance between pole and object)

v= image distance (the distance between pole and image)

In the modern atomic model the number of ________ in a neutral atom is the same as the number of protons.
MrRissso [65]

In the modern atomic model the number of electrons in a neutral atom is the same as the number of protons.

An atom contain, three fundamental particles, electron, proton, and neutron, neutron is charge less, there the charge of the atom is determined by the number of proton, and number of electron, Atoms are electrically neutral, it is only possible when number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of proton.
