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.

Which of the following would be part of an aquatic ecosystem?

Masja [62]

Answer:

Aquatic ecosystem has two components -

Biotic components

2.Abiotic components

temperature and amount of sunlight are the part of abiotic component .

while living things like sponges and planktons are the biotic components of ecosystem.

Explanation:

aquatic components are of two types-

freshwater ecosystem( lakes and ponds, river and streams)

marine ecosystem(ocean ecosysyem, estuaries)

planktons-

planktons are found in limnetic zone, availability of sunlight is much here. planktons are zooplanktons and phytoplanktons are very important link in aquatic ecosystem.

sponges

In marine water, the benthic zone is the area below the pelagic zone. Here temperature decreased because of less light perception. This zone is very nutrient rich so organisms which are present here are- bacteria, fungi, sea anemone, sponges and some fishes.

What is the vapor pressure (in mm Hg) of a solution of 17.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in 82.0 g of methanol (CH3OH) at 27∘C? The va

vichka [17]

Answer:

134.8 mmHg is the vapor pressure for solution

Explanation:

We must apply the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure, which formula is: P° - P' = P° . Xm

P° → Vapor pressure of pure solvent

P' → Vapor pressure of solution

Xm → Mole fraction for solute

Let's determine the moles of solute and solvent

17.5 g . 1 mol/180 g = 0.0972 moles

82 g . 1mol / 32 g = 2.56 moles

Total moles → moles of solute + moles of solvent → 2.56 + 0.0972 = 2.6572 moles

Xm → moles of solute / total moles = 0.0972 / 2.6572 = 0.0365

We replace the data in the formula

140 mmHg - P' = 140 mmHg . 0.0365

P' = - (140 mmHg . 0.0365 - 140mmHg)

P' = 134.8 mmHg

A large balloon is initially filled to a volume of 25.0 L at 353 K and a pressure of 2575 mm Hg. What volume of gas will the bal

bija089 [108]

Answer:

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.

Explanation:

Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 25.0 L

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 2575 mm Hg

Also, P (atm) = P (mm Hg) / 760

P₁ = 2575 / 760 atm = 3.39 atm

P₂ = 1.35 atm

T₁ = 353 K

T₂ = 253 K

Using above equation as:

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

$\frac{{3.39}\times {25.0}}{353}=\frac{{1.35}\times {V_2}}{253}$

$\frac{1.35V_2}{253}=\frac{3.39\times \:25}{353}$

Solving for V₂ , we get:

V₂ = 45.0 L

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.
