Using the words cohesive and adhesive, explain why water forms a meniscus?

1 answer:

3 0

Adhesion is responsible for a meniscus and this has to do in part with water's fairly high surface tension. Water molecules are attracted to the molecules in the wall of the glass beaker. And since water molecules like to stick together, when the molecules touching the glass cling to it, other water molecules cling to the molecules touching the glass, forming the meniscus. They'll travel up the glass as far as water's cohesive forces will allow them, until gravity prevents them from going further. Cohesion is an intermolecular attraction between like molecules (other water molecules in this case).

What is the base dissociation constant for a weak base at equilibrium, B + H2O <===> BH+ + OH–?

podryga [215]

Depends on what the base is. You would reference the base dissociation chart for that value.

Calculate the reaction quotient Qp for the following redox reaction: 14H+ + Cr2O72- + 6Cl- ----> 2Cr3+ + 3Cl2 + 7H2O The reac

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Value of $Q_{p}$ for the given redox reaction is $1.0\times 10^{-8}$

Explanation:

Redox reaction with states of species:

$14H^{+}(aq.)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq.)+6Cl^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3Cl_{2}(g)+7H_{2}O(l)$

Reaction quotient for this redox reaction:

$Q_{p}=\frac{[Cr^{3+}]^{2}.P_{Cl_{2}}^{3}}{[H^{+}]^{14}.[Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}].[Cl^{-}]^{6}}$

Species inside third braket represent concentration in molarity, P represent pressure in atm and concentration of $H_{2}O$ is taken as 1 due to the fact that $H_{2}O$ is a pure liquid.

$pH=-log[H^{+}]$

So, $[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}$

Plug in all the given values in the equation of $Q_{p}$ :

$Q_{p}=\frac{(0.10)^{2}\times (0.010)^{3}}{(10^{-0.0})^{14}\times (1.0)\times (1.0)^{6}}=1.0\times 10^{-8}$

How many grams of potassium chloride are needed to make 100 ml of a solution containing 250 mosmol/l? (m.w. of potassium is 39 a

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

In dilute solutions, the unit osmolarity is being used. It usually has units milliosmols per liter of solution or mOsmol/L. An osmole defines the number of moles of the solute that would have an effect on the osmotic pressure of the solution. Osmolarity is calculated by the product of the molarity and the number of particles in the solution which is 2 for potassium chloride. We calculate as follows:
Osmolarity = molarity (# of particles)250 mosmol/L ( 1 osmol / 1000 osmol) = x moles / .100 L (2)
x moles = 0.0125 mol KCl
mass KCl = 0.0125 mol KCl ( 39 + 35.5 g/mol) = 0.93125 g KCl
