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.

What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 18.8% Li, 16.3% C , and 64.9% O

zlopas [31]

Greetings!

To find the empirical formula you need the relative atomic mass of each element!

Li = 6.9

C = 12

O = 16

You can simply change the percentages into full grams

Li = 18.8g

C = 16.3g

O = 64.9

Then you use this to find the Number of moles = amount in grams / atomic mass

Li = 18.8 ÷ 6.9 = 2.7246

C = 16.3 ÷ 12 = 1.3583

O = 64.9 ÷ 16 = 4.0562

Then divide each number of moles by the smallest value:

Li = 2.7246 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.0

C = 1.3583 ÷ 1.3583 = 1

O = 4.0562 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.9 ≈ 3

So that means that there are 2 Li, 1 C, and 3 O

Empirical formula would be:

Li₂CO₃

A sheet of gold weighing 8.8 g and at a temperature of 10.5°C is placed flat on a sheet of iron weighing 19.5 g and at a tempera

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$T = 36.393\,^{\textdegree}C$

Explanation:

The contact between the sheet of gold and the sheet of iron allows a heat transfer until thermal equilibrium is done, which means that both sheets have the same temperature:

$-Q_{iron} = Q_{gold}$

$-(0.008\,kg)\cdot (452\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-54.4\,^{\textdegree}C) = (0.0195\,kg)\cdot (129\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-10.5\,^{\textdegree}C)$

$-(3.616\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C})\cdot (T-54.4\,^{\textdegree}C) = (2.515\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C})\cdot (T-10.5^{\textdegree}C)$

$-1.438\cdot (T - 54.4^{\textdegree}C) = T-10.5^{\textdegree}C$

$-1.438\cdot T +78.227^{\textdegree}C = T - 10.5^{\textdegree}C$

$2.438\cdot T = 88.727\,^{\textdegree}C$

The final temperature is:

$T = 36.393\,^{\textdegree}C$

Identify the correct mole ratio for each substance. Sodium chloride (NaCl) Na:Cl = 1: Ammonium nitrate (NHNO) H:O = 4:

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: The mole ratio of H : O in ammonium nitrate is 4 : 3.

Explanation:

We are given a compound named ammonium nitrate having formula $NH_4NO_3$

There are 3 elements in this compound which are nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.

To calculate the mole ratio, we write the ratio of their subscripts. For this compound, it is:

$N:H:O::2:4:3$

The mole ratio of H and O for this compound is 4 : 3.

Why do you think that scientists in the 20th century thought that it was important to “unlock” the structures of the atom?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The 20th century saw huge advances in our understanding and use of the nucleus. For instance, in 1939 scientists Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch discovered nuclear fission – a process by which radioactive materials release energy when they are induced to split.

Realising the huge amount of energy that such a reaction produces, scientists were tasked with developing this new knowledge initially for harm in nuclear weapons. Just six years after fission’s discovery, it was harnessed in the atom bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and controversially ended the Second World War. Later, much more powerful hydrogen bombs were developed that combined fission with the process powering the Sun – fusion.
