Which property of water causes water drops to bead on a freshly waxed car?

Chemistry
1 answer:
astraxan [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Cohesive forces are greater than adhesive forces  

Step-by-step explanation:

The attractive forces between water molecules and the wax on a freshly-waxed car (adhesive forces) are quite weak.

However, there are strong attractive forces (cohesive forces) between water molecules.

The water molecules are only weakly attracted to the wax, so the cohesive forces pull the water molecules together to form beads .

Answer: 8 moles
Explanation:
Nc2H6= 4 mol
2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2+6H2O
CO2=4/2⋅4
NCO2= 8 moles

The standard heats of formation for CO2(g), C2H6(g), and H2O(l) are -394.0 kJ/mol, -84.00 kJ/mol, and -286.0 kJ, respectively. W
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

ΔH°r = -1562 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following combustion.

C₂H₆(g) + 7/2 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(l)

We can calculate the standard heat of reaction (ΔH°r) using the following expression:

ΔH°r = ∑np × ΔH°f(p) - ∑nr × ΔH°f(r)

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

ΔH°f(i) are the standard heats of formation of reactants and products

The standard heat of formation of simple substances in their most stable state is zero. That means that ΔH°f(O₂(g)) = 0

ΔH°r = ∑np × ΔH°f(p) - ∑nr × ΔH°f(r)

ΔH°r = [2 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂) + 3 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O)] - [1 mol × ΔH°f(C₂H₆) + 7/2 mol × ΔH°f(O₂)]

ΔH°r = [2 mol × (-394.0 kJ/mol) + 3 mol × (-286.0 kJ/mol)] - [1 mol × (-84.00 kJ/mol) + 7/2 mol × 0]

ΔH°r = -1562 kJ
