Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the

bulk liquid. Mercury has a lower surface tension than water. Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another. Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises. Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
  • Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.
  • Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.
  • Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Surface tension is measured as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit of area. The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules.
  • A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions, while a molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
  • Surface tension decreases when temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with an increase of molecular thermal activity.

Answer: Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.

Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.

Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. The water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface by cohesive forces and thus act as a stretched membrane. The molecules present in the bulk are attracted from all the molecules around and thus the net force is zero.

Mercury has more stronger cohesive forces than water and thus has higher surface tension than water

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.

• An element in group 2, period 4 has similar properties with
babymother [125]

Answer:  Elements in Group 2

Explanation:  The periodic table was arranged by Dmitri Mendeleev specifically  around similarites in their chemical behaviors.  He found that as atomic number increases, at some point an element starts to react in a manner similar to a previous one.  When that happened, he would place the larger element under the smaller one, and eventually noticed a periodicity in the table.  Elements in a column (Groups) had similiar chemical properties.  We know today that these similarities are due to the electron configuration, and that these configurations repeat themselves.  He left gaps in the table when he could find an existing element with properties similar to others in that group.  I big leap of faith, but it worked.  Elements for those missing boxes were eventually discovered.

2CO + O2 --&gt; 2CO2
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

10 L of CO₂.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2CO + O₂ —> 2CO₂

From the balanced equation above,

2 L of CO reacted to produce 2 L of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 10 L CO. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 L of CO reacted to produce 2 L of CO₂.

Therefore, 10 L of CO will also react to produce 10 L of CO₂.

Thus, 10 L of CO₂ were obtained from the reaction.

What are some similarities and differences between physical and chemical weathering
mote1985 [20]
Similarities:
they both made sediment into soil
they both form the earth
they both made sediments have cracks

differences:
physical is reliant usually on contact with atmospheric condition

chemical transforms rocks into sediments while physical only breaks it down

chemical uses chemical reactions
