Which characteristic of water helps it form droplets?

Chemistry
1 answer:
inessss [21]4 years ago
3 0

Answer: C. High surface tension

Explanation:

Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through 1^0C.

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.  

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.  

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.

Equal masses (in grams) of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water. Which substance is limiting?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a. Oxygen gas is limiting

Explanation:

hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂

Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂

assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas  =

no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles

no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles

This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.

Write a balanced equation for the combustion of gaseous methane (CH4), a majority component of natural gas, in which it combines
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) ---> 1CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

Explanation:

any combustion of a hydrocarbon equation is in form:

CₓHₐ(g) + BO₂(g) ---> YCO₂(g) + ZH₂O(g), where x,a,b,y,z are all whole number positive integers

there will be 1 CO₂ to 2 H₂O, since there is 1 C to 4 H in CH₄; it is not 1:4 since 2 H is needed in H₂O

CH₄(g) + _O₂(g) ---> 1CO₂ + 2H₂O

there is 4 total O on products side, which can make 2O₂

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) ---> 1CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

How many grams of cl are in 445 g of cacl2?
RideAnS [48]
<span>284 g First, lookup the atomic weights of all the elements involved. Atomic weight of Calcium = 40.078 Atomic weight of Chlorine = 35.453 Now calculate the molar mass of CaCl2 40.078 + 2 * 35.453 = 110.984 Using that molar mass, calculate how many moles of CaCl2 you have. 445 g / 110.984 g/mol = 4.009586967 mol Since each molecule of CaCl2 has 2 chlorine atoms, multiply the number of moles of CaCl2 by 2 to get the number of moles of Chlorine atoms. 4.009586967 * 2 = 8.019173935 And finally, multiply by the atomic weight of chlorine. 8.019173935 * 35.453 = 284.3037735 Since you have have 3 significant figures in your data, round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 284 grams.</span>
