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

Identify the type of interactions involved in each of the following processes taking place during the dissolution of sodium chlo
icang [17]

Answer:

A. Interactions between the ions of sodium chloride (solute-solute interactions).

B. Interactions involving dipole-dipole attractions (solvent-solvent interactions).

C. Interactions formed during hydration (solute-solvent interactions).

D. Interactions involving ion-ion attractions (solute-solute interactions).

E. Interactions associated with an exothermic process during the dissolution of sodium chloride (solute-solvent interactions).

F. Interactions between the water molecules (solvent-solvent interactions).

G. Interactions formed between the sodium ions and the oxygen atoms of water molecules (solute-solvent interactions).

Explanation:

The solution process takes place in three distinct  steps:  

  • Step 1 is the <u>separation of solvent molecules. </u>
  • Step 2 entails the <u>separation of solute molecules.</u>

These steps require energy input to break attractive intermolecular forces; therefore, <u>they are endothermic</u>.  

  • Step 3 refers to the <u>mixing of solvent and solute molecules.</u> This process can be <u>exothermic or endothermic</u>.

If the solute-solvent attraction is stronger than the solvent-solvent attraction and  solute-solute attraction, the solution process is favorable, or exothermic (ΔHsoln <  0).  If the solute-solvent interaction is weaker than the solvent-solvent and solute-solute  interactions, then the solution process is endothermic (ΔHsoln > 0).  

In the dissolution of sodium chloride, this process is exothermic.

Element X has two natural isotopes. The isotope with a mass of 10.012 amu has a relative abundance of 19.91%. The isotope with a
SIZIF [17.4K]
To find the atomic mass, multiply the individual atomic masses with their relative abundances and add them up.

10.012*0.1991 + 11.009*0.8009 = 10.810 amu (5 s.f.)

Element X is Boron.

A 748 L hot air balloon sits on a table at 26.7oC. If the balloon is heated to 48.3oC, what is the new volume?
Naddik [55]

The new volume of the hot air balloon is 801.9L.

As the temperature of the hot air balloon on the table is increased, the its volume also increases.

<h3>Charle's law</h3>

Charle's law states that the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure is kept at constant.

It is expressed as;

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

Given the data in the question;

  • Initial volume V₁ = 748L
  • Initial temperature T₁ = 26.7°C = 299.85K
  • Final temperature T₂ = 48.3°C = 321.45K
  • Final volume V₂ = ?

To calculate the new volume we subtsitute our given values into the expression above.

V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

V₂ = V₁T₂ / T₁

V₂ = ( 748L × 321.45K ) / 299.85K

V₂ = 240444.6LK / 299.85K

V₂ = 801.9L

The new volume of the hot air balloon is 801.9L.

As the temperature of the hot air balloon on the table is increased, the its volume also increases.

How does frost form?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Frost forms when an outside surface cools past the dew point.

Example: The dew point is the point where the air gets so cold, the water vapor in the atmosphere turns into liquid. This liquid freezes. If it gets cold enough, little bits of ice, or frost, form.
