Explain why a coin is able to float on top of water in a glass.

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.

How much heat is evolved in converting 1.00 mol of steam at 155.0 ∘c to ice at -50.0 ∘c? the heat capacity of steam is 2.01 j/(g
Ne4ueva [31]
When the specific heat capacity of the water is 4.18 J/g.°C so, we are going to use this formula to get the heat for cooling three  phases changes from steam to liquid and from liquid to ice (solid) :

when Q = M*C*ΔT 

Q is the heat in J

and M is the mass in gram = 1 mol H2O * 18 g/mol(molar mass) = 18 g

C is the specific heat J/g.°C

ΔT is the change in temperature

Q = Mw *[ ( Csteam * ΔTsteam)+(Cw*ΔTw) + (Cice  * ΔT ice)]

    = 18 g * [(2.01 * (155-100°C)) + (4.18 * (100-0°C)) + (2.09 * (0 - 55 °C))]

∴Q = 7444.8 J

and when we know that the heat of fusion for water = 334J/g

and heat of vaporization for water =  2260J/g


∴Q for the two phases changes = M * (2260+334) 

                                                      = 18 * (2260+334)

                                                      = 46692 J 

∴ Q total = 7444.8 + 46692 = 54136.8 J
