What causes a water strider to be able to walk on water?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Lena [83]3 years ago

Answer:

By repelling water, the tiny water striders stand on the water's surface and the captured airs allows them to float and move easily.  so number 2. Surface Tension.

Explanation:

The attraction between water molecules creates tension and a very delicate membrane. Water striders walk on this membrane. ... The legs have tiny hairs that repel water and capture air.

Answer:

Water striders use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs to help them stay above water.

Hope this helps! (:

Two 0.75 Amp loads are connected in parallel with a 2500 Milliamperehour Ni-Cd battery. Approximately how long can the battery p
nikdorinn [45]

Explanation:

It is given that two loads have 0.75 Ampere current each. And, they contain 2500 milli ampere per hour Ni-Cd battery.

As both the loads are connected in parallel. Hence, total current will be calculated as follows.

               I = I_{1} + I_{2}

                 = 0.75 A + 0.75 A

                 = 1.5 A

                 = 1.5 A \times \frac{1000 mA}{1 A}

                 = 1500 mA

Relation between time and capacity of battery is as follows.

             Capacity = Current × time (in hour)

therefore,        time = \frac{Capacity}{Current}

                                = \frac{2500 mA. h}{1500 A}

                                = 1.667 hr

Thus, we can conclude that the battery provide power to the load up to 1.667 hours.

How do you think life on Earth would be different without the evolution of angiosperms? Provide two examples, each with an expla
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Without angiosperms, average annual rainfall in the area declined by 300 millimeters. In the eastern Amazon basin, the length of the wet season decreased by nearly 3 months. The extent of the wettest rainforests, which receive more than 100 millimeters of rain per month, shrank by 80%.

What mass is in 5 moles of helium?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Mass = 20 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of He = 5 mol

Mass of He = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass = 4 g/mol

by putting values,

5 mol = Mass / 4 g/mol

Mass = 5 mol × 4 g/mol

Mass = 20 g

What is the boiling point of a 1.5 m aqueous solution of fructose? the boiling point elevation constant of water is 0.515°c/m.
GREYUIT [131]
Answer is: <span>he boiling point of a 1.5 m aqueous solution of fructose is </span>100.7725°C.
The boiling point elevation is directly proportional to the molality of the solution according to the equation: ΔTb = Kb · b.<span>
ΔTb -  the boiling point elevation.
Kb - the ebullioscopic constant. of water.
b - molality of the solution.
Kb = 0.515</span>°C/m.
b = 1.5 m.
ΔTb = 0.515°C/m · 1.5 m.
ΔTb = 0.7725°C.
Tb(solution) = Tb(water) + ΔTb.
 Tb(solution) = 100°C + 0.7725°C = 100.7725°C.

Which of these subatomic particles adds the most mass to an atom?
vivado [14]
The answer for the first question is A. Proton is the subatomic particles which adds most of the mass of an atom as well as the neutron since they have the same mass. Photon, on the other hand, is not one of the subatomic particles.
