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 density of mercury is 13.5g/mL. What is the volume of this liquid if the sample weighs 12.5 pounds?

Mama L [17]

Answer : The volume of liquid is 420 mL.

Explanation :

Density : The mass per unit volume of a substance is known as density.

Formula used:

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

As we are given:

Density of mercury = 13.5 g/mL

Mass = 12.5 pounds

First we have to convert mass of sample from pound to gram.

Conversion used:

As, 1 pound = 453.6 g

So, 12.5 pounds = 453.6 × 12.5 g = 5670 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of liquid.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

Now putting all the given values in this formula, we get:

$13.5g/mL=\frac{5670g}{\text{Volume}}$

Volume = 420 mL

Therefore, the volume of liquid is 420 mL.
