Explanation:

Relation between pressure of water and its droplet is as follows.

           ln (\frac{p}{p_{o}}) = \frac{2 \gamma M}{r \rho RT}

where,   p = pressure of droplet

          p_{o} = water pressure in given temperature

          \gamma = 7.99 \times 10^{-3}

           M = Molecular Weight in Kg/Mol (0.018 for water)

            r = radius in meters

     \rho = density of water in Kg/m^{3} (1000 kg/m^{3})

           R = ideal gas constant (8.31)

           T = temperature in Kelvin

(a)   We will calculate the value of p as follows.

           p = e^{\frac{2 \gamma M}{r \rho RT}} \times p_{o}

              = e^{\frac{2 \times 0.07199 \times 0.018}{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 1000 \times 8.31 \times 298 K} \times 25.2

              = 26.8 torr

(b)  And, vapor pressure of spherical water droplets of radius 2.0 \mu m or 2 \times 10^{-6} m

             p = e^{\frac{2 \gamma M}{r \rho RT}} \times p_{o}

              = e^{\frac{2 \times 0.07199 \times 0.018}{2 \times 10^{-6} \times 1000 \times 8.31 \times 298 K} \times 25.2

              = 25.2 torr

What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?
andreev551 [17]

Common based on their location in Periodic Table;

Potassium has an atomic number 19. Its electronic configuration is as follow;

                                       1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s¹

And Krypton has an atomic number of 36. Its electronic configuration is as follow;

                                1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶

It is concluded that both Potassium and Krypton has their valence electrons in 4rth shell or they have same Principle Quantum Number.

Difference based on their location in Periodic Table;

As observed in electronic configuration Potassium has one valence electron in its valence shell (i.e. 4s¹) while, Krypton has eight valence electrons in its valence shell (i.e. 4s², 4p⁶). Therefore, they are different in the number of valence electrons.

Calculate the pH of the solution that results when 20 mL of 0.2M HCOOH is mixed with 25mL of 0.2M NaOH solution.(post-equivalenc
Paul [167]

The pH of the solution : 12

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

HCOOH    +     NaOH   ⇒     HCOONa   +   H₂O

mol HCOOH =

\tt 20~ml\times 0.2~M=4~mlmol

mol NaOH =

\tt 25~ml\times 0.2~M=5~mlmol

Mol NaOH>mol HCOOH ⇒ at the end of the reaction there will be a strong base remains from mol NaOH, so that the pH is determined from [OH⁻]

ICE method :

HCOOH    +     NaOH   ⇒     HCOONa   +   H₂O

4                          5

4                          4                     4                   4

0                          1                      1                    1

Concentration of [OH⁻] from NaOH :

\tt \dfrac{1~mlmol}{20+25~ml}=0.02

pOH=-log[OH⁻]

pOH=-log 10⁻²=2

pH+pOH=14

pH=14-2=12

Question 6
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

He is probably studying <u>Geomorphology. </u>

Explanation:

Geology is the science that studies the composition, structure, dynamics, and history of planet Earth, the processes by which it has evolved including everything that has to do with its natural resources and with this the processes that affect the surface, and therefore, the environment.

Geomorphology is a branch of geosciences, more specifically geography and geology. One of his most interesting models explains the ways in which the earth's surface is the result of a consistent dynamic balance.
