The answer which best explains why water is able to "stick" to the side of glass is the following one - Strong adhesive forces exist between glass and the water molecules.

Explanation:

Adhesion means the ability to stick on the surface of another substance.

Water exhibits adhesive forces due to which it is able to stick to the glass. Due to adhesive forces water spreads over the surface of glass and sticks to it.

These adhesive forces between the glass and water enough that it deforms the spherical shape of water molecules and help them stick to the surface of glass. As a result, adhesive forces overcome the repulsion between like molecules.

Hence, water is able to “stick” to the side of glass due to strong adhesive forces.

The Center for Disease Control publishes articles explaining the causes of seasonal West Nile virus. Research proves mosquitoes

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Mosquitoes transmit the virus as parasites which feed on the blood of host organisms and inject the virus during feeding.

Explanation:

According to the CDC, the seasonal West Nile virus is caused by the mosquitoes of freshwater transmit this disease to humans and others. These mosquitoes are feed on the birds and pick these viruses.

These viruses stick on mosquitoes and when they feed on the blood of humans they transmit these viruses by injecting viruses into the blood of humans.

Why was the line of best fit method used to determine the experimental value of absolute zero?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Because the x-intercet of the graph represents volume zero, which indicates the minimum possible temperature or absolute zero.

Explanation:

Charle's Law for ideal gases states that, at constant pressure, the temperature and the volume of a sample of gas are protortional.

$\dfrac{V}{T}=k\\\\V=kT$

That means that the graph of the relationship between Temperature, in Kelivn, and Volume is a line, which passes through the origin.

When you work with Temperature in Celsius, and the temperature is placed on the x-axis, the line is shifted to the left 273.15ºC.

Meaning that the Volume at 273.15ºC is zero.

You cannot reach such low temperatures in an experiment, and also, volume zero is not real.

Nevertheless, you can draw the line of best fit and extend it until the x-axis (corresponding to a theoretical volume equal to zero), and read the corresponding temperature.

Subject to the experimental errors, and the fact that the real gases are not ideal, the temperature that you read on the x-axis is the minimum possible temperature (absolute zero) as the minimum possible volume is zero.

andriy [413]

Element 87 francium have the highest atomic size, so in short the closest element to francium have the high atomic size.
