It is the concept of surface tension that helps the coin to float on the top of the water in the glass. The surface tension acts just opposite to the gravitational force and that is why when any metal placed in the water it will float and come on the surface. Hope this helps!

Answer:

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.

An oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66 x 10^-23 g and a glass of water has a mass of 0.050kg. Use this information to answer the ques
fomenos
<h2>ANSWER OF EACH PART ARE GIVEN BELOW</h2>

Explanation:

A)

We know, each mole contains N_A= 6.023 \times 10^{23} atoms.

It is given that mass of one oxygen atom is m= 2.66\times 10^{-23}\ g.

Therefore, mass of one mole of oxygen, M=m\times N_A.

Putting value of n and N_A,

M=2.66\times 10^{-23}\times 6.023\times 10^{23} \ gm\\M=16.0\ gm

B)

Given,

Mass of water in glass=0.050 kg = 50 gm.

From above part mass of one mole of oxygen atoms = 16.0 gm.

Therefore, number of mole of oxygen equivalent to 50 gm oxygen=\dfrac{50}{16}=3.1 \ moles.

What is the change in temperature when 75 grams of water releases -2657 J of energy? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C
Naily [24]
I think the answer for this is 4702.5 J/g*k Depending on if it is water as a solid liquid or gas. I used water as a liquid when I solved it. J=(75g)(4.18 J/g*k)(15K)

Whats the difference between hetergeneous and homogeneous?
yanalaym [24]
In Homogeneous, "Homo" means same, so homogeneous means the same nature or kind.

 Heterogeneous is the opposite. It means diverse.
 
A good way to remember is just think of homo as same. And the rest should come to you.

Hope this helps! :)
