Substances X and Y are both nonpolar. If the volatility of X is higher than that of Y, what is the best explanation?

lesya692 [45]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. If the volatility of X is higher than that of Y, then Y’s molecules experience stronger London dispersion forces than X’s molecules. All molecules has london dispersion forces. Also, the stronger the bond, the harder it is to volatilize. Hope this answers the question.

Reading the temperature of a solution by using a thermometer is an example of a(n) ________.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

B. Observation

Explanation:

Using a thermometer to read the temperature of a solution is tantamount to the making an observation.

Observation are recorded using our senses of sight, taste, earing, feeling etc or by the use of instrument.

Through observation, data is usually collected to make inferences about an experiment.
An observation leads to the formulation of a hypothesis which is scientific guess that leads to experimental designs.
Conclusions are drawn from the information of data obtained from an experiment.

Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. the click beetle accelerates at an astonishing 400

hichkok12 [17]

(a) The launching velocity of the beetle is 6.4 m/s

(b) The time taken to achieve the speed for launch is 1.63 ms

(c) The beetle reaches a height of 2.1 m.

(a) The beetle starts from rest and accelerates with an upward acceleration of 400 g and reaches its launching speed in a distance 0.53 cm. Here g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, the initial velocity of the beetle is u, its final velocity is v, the acceleration of the beetle is a, and the beetle accelerates over a distance s.

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.52×10⁻²m for s.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ = (0 m/s)^2+2 (400)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.52*10^-^2 m)\\ =40.768 (m/s)^2\\ v=6.385 m/s$

The launching speed of the beetle is 6.4 m/s.

(b) To determine the time t taken by the beetle for launching itself upwards is determined by using the equation of motion,

$v=u+at$

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 6.385 m/s for v.

$v=u+at\\ 6.385 m/s = (0 m/s) +400(9.8 m/s^2)t\\ t = \frac{6.385 m/s}{3920 m/s^2} = 1.63*10^-^3s=1.63 ms$

The time taken by the beetle to launch itself upwards is 1.62 ms.

(c) After the beetle launches itself upwards, it is acted upon by the earth's gravitational force, which pulls it downwards towards the earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g. Its velocity reduces and when it reaches the maximum height in its path upwards, its final velocity becomes equal to zero.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Substitute 6.385 m/s for u, -9.8 m/s² for g and 0 m/s for v.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ (0m/s)^2=(6.385 m/s)^2+2(-9.8m/s^2)s\\ s=\frac{(6.385 m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =2.08 m$
