Answer:
A. Because they are compounds, they cannot be pure substances.
Explanation:
The false statement from the given choices is that because they are compounds they cannot be pure substances. In fact, because they are compounds they are pure substances.
Pure substances are made up of elements and compounds and they have the following properties:
- All parts are the same throughout
- Composition is definite
- They cannot easily be separated or broken
- Separation by physical method is not easy
- They have unique sets of physical and chemical properties.
I’m pretty sure it would be D.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The reason why the droplets are spherical is the surface area to volume ratio of the falling droplet in a gravitational field. Recall that a sphere has a small surface area to volume ratio.
Between X and Y, one key difference that will define the rate at which the two drops of liquid falls is the viscosity of the fluid. Since the images were not attached, I can not really tell what liquid droplet is more flatter than the other.
However, the liquid with a greater surface tension will form larger droplets and experience a greater air resistance as the droplet falls. Hence the less the surface tension, the flatter the droplets. Cohesive forces pull molecules of a liquid droplets inwards leading to a more spherical shape and reducing the surface area. Surface tension is therefore the reason why liquids form droplets.
