Which statement about surface tension is FALSE?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Georgia [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension

kaheart [24]
Aluminum has a chemical formula of Al, while diatomic bromine has a chemical formula of Br₂. The balanced chemical reaction is shown below:

<em>2 Al (s) + 3 Br₂ (l) → 2 AlBr₃ (s)</em>

The solid product is called Dibromoaluminum. The stoichiometric coefficients are used to balance the reaction to obey the Law of Conservation of Mass.

A gas cylinder initially contains 463 L of gas at a pressure of 159 atm. If the final volume of gas is 817 L, what is the final
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The final pressure is 90.1 atm.

Explanation:

Assuming constant temperature, we can solve this problem by using <em>Boyle's Law</em>, which states:

  • P₁V₁=P₂V₂

Where in this case:

  • P₁ = 159 atm
  • V₁ = 463 L
  • P₂ = ?
  • V₂ = 817 L

We <u>input the given data</u>:

  • 159 atm * 463 L = P₂ * 817 L

And <u>solve for P₂</u>:

  • P₂ = 90.1 atm

The final pressure is 90.1 atm.
