Answer:

Cohesion

Explanation:

Cohesion tension theory of water movement up the tree vessels

Cohesion is the term used to describe the binding forces present in water molecules through hydrogen bonds as such the water molecules have considerable tensile strenghth allowing them to be pulled up into the leaves of plants through the tree vessels without breakage as longitutudinal stress are placed on the water as it is pulled up

When bases dissolve in water they release what type of negative ion?

Leto [7]

A base generally releases a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water.

There are exceptions, such as ammonia NH3, which acts as a base but does not produce OH- ions. There are three definitions of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) and each one looks at acid/base characteristics differently. OH- donation is the Arrhenius definition.

Given the following information, what is the concentration of H2O(g) at equilibrium? [H2S](eq) = 0.671 M [O2](eq) = 0.587 M Kc =

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{c}$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{eq}$ is written as:

$K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in the expression.

For the given chemical reaction:

$2H_2S(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S(s)+2H_2O(g)$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation is:

$K_c=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{[H_2S]^2\times [O_2]}$

We are given:

$[H_2S]_{eq}=0.671M$

$[O_2]_{eq}=0.587M$

$K_c=1.35$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$1.35=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{(0.671)^2\times 0.587}$

$[H_2O]=\sqrt{(1.35\times 0.671\times 0.671\times 0.587)}=0.597M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

Would you expect a heavily crosslinked polyethylene that has a glass-transition temperature of 0°c to be an elastomer, a thermos

musickatia [10]

The heavily crosslinked polyethylene that has a glass-transition temperature of 0°c to be an thermoset (non-elastomer).

A cross-linked kind of polyethylene has been known as cross-linked polyethylene, sometimes known by the acronyms PEX, XPE, or XLPE. It must be primarily utilized in residential water piping, high tension electrical cable insulation, hydronic radiant heating as well as cooling systems, construction management pipework systems, and infant play mats.

Tanks composed of linear polyethylene as well as XLPE are both constructed using heated resins to produce cured plastic. But because of the variations in how they are produced, the polyethylenes they produce have extremely varied structural strengths. Simply put, cross-linking is just the creation of links between polymer chains.

Therefore, the correct answer will be option (a).

When elemental iron corrodes it combines with oxygen in the air to ultimately form red brown iron(iii) oxide which we call rust.

iren [92.7K]

The mass of the nail would increase, because the iron is adding oxygen to its chemical composition. This would increase the overall mass. If the mass increases from 23.2g to 24.1g, then the increase would be the difference between the two masses, or 0.9g.
