Photographs are taken of falling drops of two different liquids: Liquid X Liquid Y Note: the drops have identical volumes. Notic

e that the oncoming wind tends to flatten out each drop as it falls. What's different about liquids X and Y
Chemistry

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.

How many dots would a dot diagram for selenium, one of the group 16 elements, have?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Because selenium is in the 16th column on the periodic chart, it has 6 valence electrons. Thus, the Lewis structure (or electron dot structure) for selenium has 6 dots around it.

It will look similar to this without the underscores:

__.

. Se:

_. .

1. If I have 45 L of He in a balloon at 25 degrees celsius and increase the temperature of the
Greeley [361]

Use Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2. We assume the pressure and mass of the helium is constant. The units for temperature must be in Kelvin to use this equation (x °C = x + 273.15 K).

We want to solve for the new volume after the temperature is increased from 25 °C (298.15 K) to 55 °C (328.15 K). Since the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure are directly proportional to each other, we should expect the new volume of the balloon to be greater than the initial 45 L.

Rearranging Charles' Law to solve for V2, we get V2 = V1T2/T1.  

(45 L)(328.15 K)/(298.15 K) = 49.5 ≈ 50 L (if we're considering sig figs).

What is the relation between concentration of reactants and the rate of chemical reaction?
Lynna [10]
Reaction rates can be increased if the concentration of reactants is raised. An increase in concentration produces more collisions. The chances of an effective collision goes up with the increase in concentration. The exact relationship between reaction rate and concentration depends on the reaction "mechanism".
