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.

1.- Ilumina de amarillo los verbos en pretérito y de verde los verbos en copretérito.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Pretérito (Pretérito perfecto):

<em>estiró, sudó, peleó, compartí</em>

Copretérito (Pretérito imperfecto):

<em>saludaba, pedias, leia, compraba, barrias, cargaba, estrenabas, escribian</em>

Explanation:

Los verbos en pretérito, también llamado pretérito perfecto, son los siguientes:

<em>estiró, sudó, peleó, compartí</em>

Como se aprecia, los verbos conjugados en pretérito perfecto terminan la última sílaba en vocal con acento, es decir, <em>-á</em>, <em>-é</em>, <em>-í</em> u <em>-ó</em>.

Los verbos en copretérito, también llamado pretérito imperfecto, son los siguientes:

<em>saludaba, pedias, leia, compraba, barrias, cargaba, estrenabas, escribian</em>

Como se aprecia, los verbos conjugados en pretérito imperfecto terminan la última sílaba en <em>-ía</em>, <em>ías</em>, <em>-ían</em>, <em>-aba</em>, <em>-abas</em> o <em>-aban</em>.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The volume of the balloon will be 5.11L

Explanation:

An excersise to solve with the Ideal Gases Law

First of all, let's convert the pressure in mmHg to atm

1 atm = 760 mmHg

760 mmHg ___ 1 atm

755.4 mmHg ____ (755.4 / 760) = 0.993 atm

922.3 mmHg ____ ( 922.3 / 760) = 1.214 atm

T° in K = 273 + °C

28.5 °C +273 = 301.5K

26.35°C + 273= 299.35K

P . V = n . R .T

First situation: 0.993atm . 6.25L = n . 0.082 . 301.5K

(0.993atm . 6.25L) / 0.082 . 301.5 = n

0.251 moles = n

Second situation:

1.214 atm . V = 0.251 moles . 0.082 . 301.5K

V = (0.251 moles . 0.082 . 301.5K) / 1.214 atm

V = 5.11L
