Tell why small droplets of water on an oily surface are almost spherical.

Chemistry

1 answer:

Explanation:

When the water droplets are placed in oily surface, oil being non-polar, thus there will not be adhesive force between water and oil.

Thus, surface tension is the factor which is responsible for shape of the water droplets to be spherical. The water molecules are pulled into the spherical shape by the action of the cohesive forces which is acting on the surface layer. As, the medium is totally different outside, the water molecules tend to get the minimum area and thus, forming spherical droplets.

If 81g of water is measured out, how many moles are in the sample? *

valkas [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

because moles = mass /mr

so 81/18(mr of H2O=2+16)

moles =4.5

How to prepare super saturated solution of copper sulphate ? Explain the experiment

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Monitor the temperature of the water with the thermometer. Stop heating the water once it nears the boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius. Add copper(II) sulfate and stir until the heated solution is saturated. When the solution is saturated, copper(II) sulfate will not dissolve anymore

A dehydration reaction starting with 3.8 g cyclohexanol produces 2.6 g cyclohexene. Calculate the theoretical yield for this rea

diamong [38]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g.

Explanation:

Defining Theoretical yield as the quantity of product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction. It can be expressed as grams or moles.

Equation of the reaction

C6H11OH --> C6H10 + H2O

Moles of C6H11OH:

Molar mass of C6H110H = (12*6) + (1*12) + 16

= 100 g/mol

Mass of C6H10 = 3.8 g

number of moles = mass/molar mass

=3.8/100

= 0.038 mol.

Using stoichoimetry, 1 moles of C6H110H was dehydrated to form 1 mole of C6H10 and 1 mole of water.

Therefore, 0.038 moles of C6H10 was produced.

Mass of C6H10 = molar mass * number of moles

Molar mass of C6H10 = (12*6) + (1*10)

= 82 g/mol.

Mass = 82 * 0.038

= 3.116 g of C6H10.

Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g

Hemoglobin is the protein that transports oxygen in mammals. Different species of mammals have slightly different forms of hemog

Anna35 [415]

Answer;

= 64561.95 g/mole

Explanation;

mass of Fe in 100g = .346g

= .346 / 55.8452 moles

= 0.0061957 moles

These represent 4 moles of Fe in the molecule so moles of hemaglobin

= 0.0061957/4

= 0.0015489 moles

these are in 100 g so mass of 1 mole = 100 / 0.0015489

= 64561.95 g / mole

molar mass of hemoglobin = 64561.95 g/mole
