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).

Answer:

%age Yield = 22.72 %

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation is as follow;

2 NH₄Cl + CaO → 2 NH₃ + CaCl₂ + H₂O

Step 1: Calculate Moles of CaO, NH₄Cl and NH₃;

CaO:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 112 g / 56.07 g/mol

Moles = 1.99 moles of CaO

NH₄Cl:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 224 g / 53.49 g/mol

Moles = 4.18 moles of NH₄Cl

NH₃:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 16.3 g / 17.03 g/mol

Moles = 0.95 moles of NH₃

Step 2: Calculate Limiting reagent as:

According to equation.

2 moles of NH₄Cl reacts with = 1 mole of CaO

So,

4.18 moles of NH₄Cl will react with = X moles of CaO

Solving for X,

X = 4.18 mol × 1 mol / 2 mol

X = 2.09 mol of CaO

This means that none of the given reagent is limiting reagent. They both are almost equal in number of moles.

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical Yield of NH₃ as;

According to equation.

2 moles of NH₄Cl produced = 2 moles of NH₃

So,

4.18 moles of NH₄Cl will produce = X moles of NH₃

Solving for X,

X = 4.18 mol × 2 mol / 2 mol

X = 4.18 mol of NH₃

Step 4: Calculate Percentage Yield as;

%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

%age Yield = 0.95 mol / 4.18 × 100

%age Yield = 22.72 %

Masja [62]

Answer : The resulting solution will have a pH of 7.

Explanation:

Whenever acid and base reacts with each other to form water molecule is called Neutralization reaction. This water molecules is formed from the hydronium ion ( $H^+$ ) from acid and hydroxide ion( $OH^-$ ) from base.
