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

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).

Na+CL2=2NACL is the balanced reaction for the formation of table salt. Given 20 grams of Na and 10 grams of Cl2, which reactant
Elina [12.6K]

Excess reactant : Na

NaCl produced : = 16.497 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction(balanced)

2Na + Cl₂⇒ 2NaCl

20 g Na

10 g Cl₂

Required

Excess reactant

NaCl produced

Solution

mol Na(Ar = 23 g/mol) :

= 20 : 23 = 0.87

mol Cl₂(MW=71 g/mol):

= 10 : 71 g/mol = 0.141

mol : coefficient :

Na = 0.87 : 2 = 0.435

Cl₂ = 0.141 : 1 = 0.141

Limiting reactant : Cl₂(smaller ratio)

Excess reactant : Na

Mol NaCl based on mol Cl₂, so mol NaCl :

= 2/1 x mol Cl₂

= 2/1 x 0.141

= 0.282

Mass NaCl :

= 0.282 x 58.5 g/mol

= 16.497 g

Rank these acids according to their expected pKa values.ClCH2COOHClCH2CH2COOHCH3CH2COOHCl2CHCOOHIn order of highest pka to lowes
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH  > ClCH₂COOH

Explanation:

Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.

Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.

  • The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
  • The more substituents, the greater the effect.  
  • The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.

CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH —  EDG —                         weakest —  pKₐ = 4.82

      CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference —                                     pKₐ = 4.75

  ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger —     pKₐ = 4.00

           ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest —  pKₐ = 2.87
