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.

how many moles of potassium dichromate (k2cr2o7) are required to prepare a 250-ml solution of with a concentration of 2.16 m?
Eva8 [605]

The moles of potassium dichromate , K₂Cr₂O₇ are required to prepare a 250 mL solution of with a concentration of 2.16 M  is 0.54 mol.

given that :

molarity = 2.16 M

volume = 250 mL = 0.25 L

the molarity is given as :

molarity = number of moles / volumes in L

from this we can calculate the number of moles, we get :

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = molarity × volume

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = 2.16 × 0.25

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = 0.54 mol

Thus, The moles of potassium dichromate , K₂Cr₂O₇ are required to prepare a 250 mL solution of with a concentration of 2.16 M  is 0.54 mol.

<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We calculate as follows:

0.340 mol Br2 ( </span>6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mol ) = 2.05 x 10^23 molecules

Milk of magnesia has the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. What is the mass of 3.2 moles of milk of magnesia? The molar Mass of magnesiu
GenaCL600 [577]
To calculate the mass of milk of magnesia given, we need certain data like molar mass of the compound which needs the atomic mass of the atoms in the compound. We calculate as follows:

Molar mass of <span>Mg(OH)2 = 24.3 g/mol + (2 x (16 + 1.0)) = 58.30 g/mol

Mass = 3.2 mol (</span>58.30 g/mol) = 186.56 grams

Number of moles in 31.99g O2 <br> And 176.8g NaCl
sergey [27]

#O_2

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{31.99}{32}

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles\approx 1

#NaCl

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{176.8}{58.5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\;of\:moles=3mol
