Based on the shapes of the water drops in part D, how does the attractive force between water and wax compare to the attractive

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Because the cohesive forces inside the droplets are stronger than the adhesive forces between both the drops and the wax, water does not penetrate waxed surfaces. Because the adhesive forces between the liquid and the glass are stronger than the cohesive forces inside the water, water wets glass and spreads out across it.

A mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gases contains methane at a partial pressure of 431 mm Hg and carbon dioxide at a

KatRina [158]

Answer:

XCH₄ = 0.461

XCO₂ = 0.539

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Partial pressure of methane (pCH₄): 431 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂): 504 mmHg

Step 2: Calculate the total pressure in the container

We will sum both partial pressures.

P = pCH₄ + pCO₂

P = 431 mmHg + 504 mmHg = 935 mmHg

Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction of each gas

We will use the following expression.

Xi = pi / P

XCH₄ = pCH₄/P = 431 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.461

XCO₂ = pCO₂/P = 504 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.539

Isotopes that decay with a nuclear break-up and emit a significant amount of energy are said to be ________.

podryga [215]

Answer to this is Radioactive isotopes.

Isotopes are the species of the same element having different atomic masses that means the number of protons remains the same but number of neutrons do differ. For example $_{1}^{2}\textrm{H}$ and $_{1}^{3}\textrm{H}$ are the two isotopes of Hydrogen ( $_{1}^{1}\textrm{H}$ ).

Radioactive isotopes are the isotopes which release some kind of energy in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma radiation. Examples of each of the decay processes are :

Alpha Decay: In this decay one alpha particle having atomic mass 4 and atomic number 2 or we can say a He molecule will come out. $_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_{2}^{4}\alpha$

Beta Decay: In this decay a $\beta$ particle is emitted increasing the atomic number of the reactant by 1 unit.

$_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^{0}\beta$

Gamma Radiation: In this type of reaction only radiation is emitted out which does not change the original molecule.

$_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}+\gamma\text{ radiation}$
