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

Which of the following is not true of "concentration"?
lions [1.4K]
The correct answer is B. The concentration of a solution does not decreases when you add more solute to the solvent. Instead, the concentration increases. Concentration is expressed as the amount of solute per unit of solvent. Therefore, increasing the solute, increases this value and increasing the solvent, decreases this value.

If I have 31 liters of helium in a balloon at 9°C and increase the temperature of the balloon to 28°C, what will the new volume
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: The new volume of the balloon is 33 liters while T2 is 301K

Explanation:

Initial volume of helium V1 = 31 liters

Initial temperature T1 = 9°C

Convert temperature in Celsius to Kelvin

( 9°C + 273°C = 280K)

Final temperature T2 = 28°C

( 28°C + 273°C = 301K)

Final volume V2 = ?

According to Charle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

Mathematically, Charles' Law is expressed as: V1/T1 = V2/T2

31/280 = V2/301

To get the value of V2, cross multiply

V2 = (31 x 301) / 280

V2 = 9331 / 280

V2 = 33.325 liters (approximated to 33liters)

Thus, the new volume of the balloon is 33 liters while T2 is 301K
