Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. This attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together and causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.

What is the mass of 2.65 millimoles of sulfur?
Bas_tet [7]
Divide this problem in to two steps: 1. Convert millimoles to moles. 2. Convert moles to grams.

1.
2.65 mlmol x 1mol/1000mlmol=.00265mol

2.
.00265mol x 32.065g/1 mol=.0850g S

Let me know if you need more explanation on why I used the conversions that I did.

A solution has a oh- = 1 x 10-5 m what are the h30 and the ph of the solution
Deffense [45]

I think it's easiest to find the pOH from the given [OH-] first.

-log(1x10^-5)

pOH=5

Then find the pH.

pOH+pH=14

5+pH=14

pH=9

Then find the [H+] using the pH.

antilog(-9) (if you dont have an antilog button use 10^-9)

[H+]=1x10^-9
