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.

How manymoles of each ion are present in 175 mL of 0.147 M Fe2(SO4)3?

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 0.0257 moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.0257 moles of $SO_4^{2-}$

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text {Volume in L}}$

moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.147\times 0.175L=0.0257moles$

The balanced reaction for dissociation will be:

$Fe_2(SO_4)_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+SO_4^{2-}$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ gives 1 mole of $Fe^{3+}$ and 1 mole of $SO_4^{2-}$

Thus there will be 0.0257 moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.0257 moles of $SO_4^{2-}$

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

235/92U+10n→144/54Xe+90/38Sr+2/10n

Explanation:

The nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of u−235 to form xe−144 and sr−90 is represented by;

235/92U+10n→144/54Xe+90/38Sr+2/10n

In nuclear fission reactions a heavy nuclide is split into two light nuclides and is coupled by the release of energy.

If two balls have the same volume, but ball A has twice as much mass as ball B, which one will have the greater density? ball A,

rewona [7]

Density (D) is defined as the amount or mass (m) of a substance present in a unit volume(V). It can be expressed mathematically as:

Density = Mass/Volume

i.e. D = m/V -------(1)

Units: g/cm3

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball A

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball B

It is given that: V1 = V2; but m1 = 2m2

Based on equation (1) we have:

D1/D2 = (m1/V1)* (V2/m2) = (2m2/V2)*(V2/m2) = 2

Thus, density of ball A is twice that of B.

Ans: Ball A will have a greater density than B

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball C

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball D

It is given that:

V1 = 3V2 and m2 = 1/3(m1) i.e m1 = 3m2

Therefore,

D1/D2 = (m1/V1)* (V2/m2) = (3m2/3V2)*(V2/m2) = 1

Thus, D1 = D2

Ans: Their densities are equal

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball P

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball Q

It is given that:

m1 = m2 but V1 = 2V2

Therefore,

D1/D2 = (m1/V1)* (V2/m2) = (m2/2V2)*(V2/m2) = 1/2

Thus, D1 = 1/2(D2)

Ans: Ball Q will have a greater density.

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball X

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball Y

It is given that:

V1 = 2V2 and m1 = 1/2(m2)

Therefore,

D1/D2 = (m1/V1)* (V2/m2) = ((1/2(m2)/2V2)*(V2/m2) = 1/4

Thus, D1 = 1/4(D2)

Ans: Ball Y will have a greater density.
