An insect would have a harder time walking on ethanol than it would water. Water has stronger intermolecular forces which leads to higher surface tension. The higher surface tension allows for the insect to be easily supported

Answer:
An insect would have an easier time walking on the surface of water than on the surface of ethanol.
Water’s stronger intermolecular forces lead to higher surface tension.
Higher surface tension allows water to support the insect.

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (_____) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's
____ [38]

Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).

Explanation:

All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.

Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?
tiny-mole [99]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

  • Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
  • Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
  • Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.

Describe a physical change and a chemical change that an iron nail could undergo.
galina1969 [7]
Physical change

iron nail have high melting point, thus, when it is heated, it will not melt very easily.

chemical change

iron nail can rust due to the exposure to the air(oxygen). iron in the nail and oxygen in the air will react together to form iron oxide(rust).
furthermore, the reaction is irreversible.
