Explain surface tension and capillary action

1 answer:

4 0

Adhesion of water to the surface of a material will cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.

A cylinder with 10 mL of coconut oil has a mass of 9.3 g. What is the density of the oil? Round to the nearest hundredth.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.93 grams per milliliter

Explanation:

Density is the division of mass by volume. It is how "hefty" an object is; for example, wood isn't very "hefty" but metal is. The density is measured in mass over volume, so it is 9.3/10. After applying units, it is 0.93 grams per milliliter.

In a chemical reaction, 28g of iron reacts with 16g of sulfur to produce _________ of iron sulfide.

kirill115 [55]

Hello!

In a chemical reaction, 28g of iron reacts with 16g of sulfur to produce _________ of iron sulfide.

We have the following data:

m(Fe) - mass of iron = 28 g

m(S) - mass of sufur = 16 g

MM(Fe) - molar mass of iron ≈ 56 g/mol

MM(S) - molar mass of sulfur ≈ 32 g/mol

n(Fe) - number of mol of iron = ?

n(S) - number of mol of sulfur = ?

Solving:

* to n(Fe)

$n_{Fe} = \dfrac{m_{Fe}}{MM_{Fe}}$

$n_{Fe} = \dfrac{28\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{56\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol}$

$\boxed{n_{Fe} = 0.5\:mol}$

* to n(S)

$n_{S} = \dfrac{m_{S}}{MM_{S}}$

$n_{S} = \dfrac{16\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{32\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol}$

$\boxed{n_{S} = 0.5\:mol}$

The stoichiometric reaction will be in the same proportion (1 : 1), let us see:

$Fe + S \Longrightarrow FeS$

1 mol of Fe -------------- 1 mol of FeS

0.5 mol of Fe ------------ 0.5 mol of FeS

Will the reaction of the iron mass with the mass of sulfur produce how many grams of iron sulfide? We will see:

n(FeS) - number of mol of iron sulfide = 0.5 mol

m(FeS) - mass of iron sulfide = ? (in grams)

MM(FeS) - Molar Mass of iron sulfide = 56 + 32 = 88 g/mol

Solving:

$n_{FeS} = \dfrac{m_{FeS}}{MM_{FeS}}$

$m_{FeS} = n_{FeS}*MM_{FeS}$

$m_{FeS} = 0.5\:mol\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\dfrac{\hspace{0.6cm}}{~}*88\:\dfrac{g}{mol\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\dfrac{\hspace{0.6cm}}{~}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{m_{FeS} = 44\:g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\blue{\checkmark}\bf\green{\checkmark}\bf\red{\checkmark}$

Answer:

44 grams of iron sulfide

2. A sample of oxygen gas is placed in a rigid 1.5L glass container at STP. If the gas is

sladkih [1.3K]

The new pressure : P₂ = 1038.39 mmHg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.5 L container at STP

Heated to 100 °C

Required

The new pressure

Solution

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure).

So P₁ = 1 atm = 760 mmHg

T₁ = 273 K

T₂ = 100 °C+273 = 373 K

Gay Lussac's Law

When the volume is not changed, the gas pressure is proportional to its absolute temperature

$\tt \dfrac{P_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{T_2}$

Input the value :

P₂=(P₁.T₂)/T₁

P₂=(760 x 373)/273

P₂ = 1038.39 mmHg

What is the mass of a 1.71-l sample of a liquid that has a density of 0.921g/ml?

Temka [501]

Hey there!:

Volume in mL :

1.71 L * 1000 => 1710 mL

Density = 0.921 g/mL

Therefore:

Mass = Density * Volume

Mass = 0.921 * 1710

Mass = 1574.91 g
