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

Chemistry

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! (:

A 15.50 gram sample of a gas exerts a pressure of 1.40 atmospheres when held in an 8.00 liter at 22 °C. What is the molar mass (
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

33.5 g/mol

Explanation:

PV=nRT

(1.40 atm)(8.00 L)=n(0.08206)(295 K)

n=0.463 mol

15.50 g/0.463 mol=33.5 g/mol

Answer:

When a low cost fuel is available, internal combustion drivers surpass all others in compactness and low cost of installation and operation. For example, gas compression on a large scale has long been done with integral engine compressors.

Consider a wildflower population with the following allele and genotype frequencies. Frequency of the CR allele: p = 0.6 Frequen
k0ka [10]

NO,  It Isn't

Ideally a population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium should hold true to the following equation for genotypic frequencies of an allele;

P² + 2pq + q² = 1

Explanation:

We are provided with allelic frequencies hence we can derive the genotypic frequencies; (CR allele: p = 0.6 Frequency of the CW allele: q = 0.4)

P² = 0.6 ^2 = 0.36

2pq = 2 * 0.6 * 0.4 = 0.48

q² = 0.4 ^ 2 = 0.16

Lets find out if all add up to  as supposed to;

0.36 +  0.48 + 0.16 = 1

Converting to percentages is easy – just multiply by 100

  • 36 % CRCR
  • 48% CRCW
  • and 16 % CWCW

The population provided is not in equilibrium because their percentages vary widely to that the expected Hardy Weinberg's equilibrium percentages. This could be attributed to factors like;

  1. Migration
  2. Mutations,
  3. There is natural selection in progress in the population
  4. There is gene flow
