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

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

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.

At what temperature will 0.100 molal (M) NaCl(aq) boil? <br> Kb= 0.51 C kg mol^-1
Talja [164]
The increase of the boling point of a solution is a colligative property.

The formula for the increase of the normal boiling point of water is:

ΔTb = Kb * m

Where m is the molallity of the solution and Kb is the molal boiling constant in °C/mol.

ΔTb = 0.51 °C / m * 0.100 m = 0.051 °C.

So, the new boiling temperature is Tb = 100°C + 0.051°C = 100.051 °C.

Answer: 100.051 °C

jolli1 [7]

Becquerel  did not discover that the amount of exposure on the paper was proportional to the amount of uranium that was present in the rocks

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The phenomenon of radioactivity was discovered by the French scientist Henri Becquerel in 1896 when he placed photographic paper in a drawer with some radioactive rocks.

We have to note that Becquerel did not discover that the amount of exposure on the paper was proportional to the amount of uranium that was present in the rocks hence the stetement is false.
