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! (:

If 20.0 mL of a 0.0800 M HNO3, 35.0 mL of a 0.0800 M KSCN, and 40.0 mL of a 0.0800 M Fe(NO3)3 are combined, what is the initial
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.0295M

Explanation:

As you can see, in the mixture you have KSCN and other compounds. The KSCN in solution is dissolved in K⁺ ions and SCN⁻ ions. That means initial concentration of SCN⁻ ions is the same of KSCN, 0.0800M.

You are adding 35.0mL of this solution and the total volume of the mixture is 20.0mL + 35.0mL + 40.0mL = 95.0mL.

That means you are diluting your solution 95.0mL / 35.0mL = 2.714 times.

And the concentration of SCN⁻ is:

0.0800M / 2.714 =

<h3>0.0295M </h3>

• 1) The pressure of a sample of gas in a 2.00-L container is 876 mmHg.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

4380 mmHg

Explanation:

Boyle's Law can be used to explain the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas. The pressure is inversely related to volume, so if volume decrease the pressure will increase. It can be expressed in the equation as:

P1V1=P2V2

In this question, the first condition is 2L volume and 876 mmHg pressure. Then the system changed into the second condition where the volume is 400ml and the pressure is unknown. The pressure will be:

P1V1= P2V2

876 mmHg * 2L = P2 * 400ml /(1000ml/L)

P2= 876 mmHg * 2L / 0.4L

P2= 4380 mmHg

Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O? silicon dioxide silicon trioxygen disilicon dioxygen monosil
Flauer [41]

The correct is tricky, be careful. The right is silicon dioxyde (SiO2)

Silicon Oxides are written in the form SiOx, (0 <x <2), so:

there is no silicon trioxygen and disilicon dioxygen.

SiO is called silicon monoxide and not monosiicon oxygen, so this proposition is false.

All that remains is the silicon dioxide (SiO2) that is written correctly.

Silicon dioxide can be synthesized but also exists in abundance in nature. Silicon (Si) represents about 26% of the Earth's crust. Silica (SiO2), the natural form of silicon dioxide, accounts for about 60%.
