Explain surface tension and capillary action

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
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 lake has been infected by some type of new algae that is unknown. Every single day the amount of surface area that the algae t
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

It takes 86 days take to cover half of the lake

Explanation:

In the day #1, the amount of the algae is X,

In the day #2 is 2X

In the day #3 is 2*2*X = X*2²

...

In the day #n the amount of the algae is X*2^(n-1)

Assuming X = 1m³. In the day 87, the area infected was:

1m³*2^(87-1)

7.74x10²⁵m³ is the total area of the lake

the half of this amount is 3.87x10²⁵m³

The time transcurred is:

3.87x10²⁵m³ = 1m³*2^(n-1)

Multiplying for 5 in each side:

ln (3.87x10²⁵) = ln (2^(n-1))

58.9175 = n-1 * 0.6931

85 = n-1

86 = n

<h3>It takes 86 days take to cover half of the lake</h3>

Erwin Schrödinger developed the quantum model of the atom. What scientific knowledge was necessary for Schrödinger’s work?
madam [21]

<span>The scientific knowledge that was necessary for Schrodinger’s work is the Bohr’s model. Unlike the Bohr model, the quantum model does not define the exact path of an electron. The electron is likely to be in a less dense area of cloud.</span>
