The meniscus of mercury in a glass capillary tube is convex because of

Chemistry

AnnZ [28]3 years ago

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Firstly in deciding whether the meniscus of a liquid in a glass capillary tube will be convex or concave, we need to understand 2 forces that are in play here. These are the adhesive and cohesive forces.

The cohesive forces are the forces between the molecules present in the liquid. It can be seen as the force of attraction between the molecules of the liquid

The adhesive forces are the forces between the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the glass.

The reason why mercury has a convex meniscus is because the cohesive forces between the mercury molecules is greater than the adhesive forces between the molecules of the glass and molecules of mercury.

What we are saying in essence is that the intramolecular force of attraction between mercury molecules is greater than the intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules of the glass and water.

Hence we say mercury does not wet glass as the cohesive forces of attraction are greater than the adhesive attraction forces

A fish company delivers 22 kg of salmon, 5.5 kg of crab and 3.48 kg of oysters to your seafood restaurant. What is the mass, in
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Mass of sea food = 30.98 Kg

Mass of sea food in pound = 68.31 lbs

Explanation:

Salmon, crab and oysters all are sea food.

Mass of sea food = Mass of salmon + Mass of crab + mass of oyster

Mass of salmon = 22 kg

Mass of crab = 5.5 kg

Mass of oysters = 3.48 kg

Mass of sea food = Mass of salmon + Mass of crab + mass of oyster

                             = 22 + 5.5 + 3.48

                             = 30.98 Kg

1 Kg = 2.205 lbs

Therefore, 30.98 kg = 30.98 × 2.205

                                 = 68.31 lbs

4. Find the pH at each of the following points in the titration of 25 mL of 0.3 M HF with 0.3 M NaOH. The Ka value is 6.6x10-4 a
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

Since HF is a weak acid, the use of an ICE table is required to find the pH. The question gives us the concentration of the HF.

HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−

Initial0.3 M-0 M0 MChange- X-+ X+XEquilibrium0.3 - X-X MX M

Writing the information from the ICE Table in Equation form yields

6.6×10−4=x20.3−x6.6×10−4=x20.3−x

Manipulating the equation to get everything on one side yields

0=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−40=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−4

Now this information is plugged into the quadratic formula to give

x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√2x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)2

The quadratic formula yields that x=0.013745 and x=-0.014405

However we can rule out x=-0.014405 because there cannot be negative concentrations. Therefore to get the pH we plug the concentration of H3O+ into the equation pH=-log(0.013745) and get pH=1.86

If the percent by volume is 2.0% and the volume of solution is 250 mL, what is the volume of solute in solution? Show your work.
Mrrafil [7]
Volume of solute = 250 * 2%
= 250 * 0.02
= 5

In short, Your Answer would be 5 mL
