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.

Define the dead or void time in HPLC? <br> Plzzz help I’m struggling
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

2 Answers. The column is filled with the carrier (liquid or gas) before the sample is injected. Thus if there is no interaction between the sample and the column, then the fastest that the sample can get to the detector is the dead time denoted by tM in the diagram.

A certain reaction with an activation energy of 205 kj/mol was run at 485 k and again at 505 k . what is the ratio of f at the h
lapo4ka [179]
Arrhenius' Law relates activation energy, Ea, rate constant, K, and temperature, T as per this equation:

K (T) = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT), where R is the universal constant of gases and A is a constant which accounts for collision frequency..

Then you can find the ration between K's at two different temperatures as:

K1 = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT1)

K2 = A* e ^(-Ea / RT2)

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ { (-Ea / RT1) - Ea / RT2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ {(-Ea/ R ) *( 1 / T1 - 1 T2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e^ { (-205,000 j/mol / 8.314 j/mol*k )* ( 1 / 505K - 1/ 485K) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ (2.0134494) ≈ 7.5

Answer: 7.5

Answer:

23.34 %.

Explanation:

  • The percentage of water must be calculated as a mass percent.
  • We need to find the mass of water, and the total mass in one mole of the compound. For that we need to use the atomic masses of each element and take in consideration the number of atoms of each element in the formula unit.
  • <em>Atomic masses of the elements:</em>

Cd: 112.411 g/mol, N: 14.0067 g/mol, O: 15.999 g/mol, and H: 1.008 g/mol.

  • <em>Mass of the formula unit:</em>

Cd(NO₃)₂•4H₂O

mass of the formula unit = (At. mass of Cd) + 2(At. mass of N) + 10(At. mass of O) + 8(At. mass of H) = (112.411 g/mol) + 2(14.0067 g/mol) + 10(15.999 g/mol) + 8(1.008 g/mol) = 308.5 g/mol.

  • <em> Mass of water in the formula unit:</em>

<em>mass of water</em> = (4 × 2 × 1.008 g/mol) + (4 × 15.999 g/mol) = 72.0 g/mol.

  • <em>So, the percent of water in the compound = [mass of water / mass of the formula unit] × 100 = [(72.0 g/mol)/(308.5 g/mol)] × 100 = 23.34 %</em>
