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

Imagine you are given a mystery element. It is, however, a discovered and known element. You may perform a maximum of two observ
miv72 [106K]

The classification of it being a metal, nonmetal, or metalliod will be useful in the process of elimination to determine what it is. Then for the second test, meauring the atomin radius will narrow it down quicker to the mystery elemet's name.

Since you determined what part of the periodic table it's on, then when measuring the atomic radius, you should be able to pinpoint what the element is more surely.

How do trends in the periodic table help predict the properties of an element
irina1246 [14]
As you move around there is a change in: electronegativies, ionisation energies, atomic radius etc. different amounts of these properties are going to effect how the element acts

How many grams are there in 1.1 x 1027 molecules of water (H2O)?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

C) 3.3 x 104 grams

Explanation:

1 mole of water contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms

1.1 × 10^27 atoms will contain;

1.1 × 10^27 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

= 0.1827 × 10^( 27 - 23)

= 0.1827 × 10^(4)

= 1.827 × 10³ moles of water.

To convert mole to mass in grams, we use the formula;

mole (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

Molar mas of water (H2O) = 1(2) of H + 16 of O = 18g/mol

mole = mass/molar mass

1.827 × 10³ = mass / 18

mass = 1.827 × 10³ × 18

mass = 32.886 × 10³

mass = 3.286 × 10⁴

mass = 3.3 × 10⁴ grams
