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

aliina [53]3 years ago

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.

An element has ccp packing with a face-centered cubic unit cell. its density is 8920 kg/m3 and the unit cell volume is 4.72 x 10
ziro4ka [17]
<span>63.4 g/mol
   First, let's determine how many atoms per unit cell in face-centered cubic. There is 8 corners, each of which has 1 atom, and each of those atoms is shared between 8 other unit cells. So 8*1/8 = 1 atom per unit cell. Additionally, there are 6 faces, each of which has 1 atom that's shared between 2 unit cells. So 6*1/2 = 3 atoms per unit cell. So each unit cell has the mass of 1+3 = 4 atoms. Since there is 1000 liters per cubic meter, the mass per liter is 8920 kg/1000 = 8.920 kg/L. Now the mass per unit cell is 8920 g * 4.72x10^-26 = 4.21024x10^-22 g per unit cell. The mass per atom is 4.21024x10^-22 g / 4 = 1.05256x10^-22 g/atom, Finally, multiply by Avogadro's number, getting 1.05256x10^-22 g/atom * 6.0221409x10^23 atom/mol = 63.38664625704 g/mol.
   Rounding to 3 significant digits gives 63.4 g/mol.</span>

What substances is a liquid at room temperature
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Only two elements are liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure: mercury and bromine. Four more elements have melting points slightly above room temperature: francium, caesium, gallium and rubidium.
