Even though water is a liquid, some insects are able to stand on its surface due to water's high surface tension. Unbalanced for

ces pull the water molecules inward which causes the surface of the liquid to have properties similar to that of a stretched elastic membrane. What is responsible for the unbalanced forces in water?
A. ionic bonds
B. a neutral pH
C. hydrogen bonds

The answer is letter C. hydrogen bonds. Surface tension in water, which makes water form drops and causes the surface to form a curve above the mouth of a container, results from the water molecules being strongly held by H bonds to those water molecules beside and beneath them. The cohesion among water molecules and the adhesion of water to other materials like rock and soil make capillarity possible.

Correctly identify the generic formula for a double replacement reaction.
devlian [24]

Answer:

AB + CD → AC +BD

Explanation:

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AC +BD

Example:

The following reaction is double replacement reaction.

CaCO₃ + 2HCl  → CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃

While,

A + B → AB

Synthesis reaction:

It is synthesis reaction. The reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

AB → A + B

Decomposition:

It is the decomposition reaction. The reaction in which one reactant is break down into two or more product.

AB + C → AC + B

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

At 400 k, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is kc = 7.0. br2 (g) + cl2 (g) 2brcl (g) a closed vessel at 400 k is charged
jeka57 [31]
a) when Kc = concentration of products / concentration of reactants
  So according  to the reaction equation:
Br2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2BrCl(g)

∴ Kc =[BrCl] ^2 / [Br2][Cl2]

b) when q = [BrCl]^2 / [Br2][Cl2]
and we have [BrCl] = 3 m 
[Br2] = 1 m 
[Cl2] = 1 m
So by substitution:
q= 3^2 / 1*1 = 9 

- and we can see that q > Kc 
the reaction is not at equilibrium that means there are more products and the reaction shifts to the left to increase the reactants and decrease the products to achieve equilibrium.

C) by using ICE table:

              Br2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2BrCl (g)
initial       1               1               3
change  -X              -X            +X
Equ       (1-X)          (1-X)         (3+X)

when Kc = [Brcl]^2/[Cl2][Br2]
by substitution:
7 = (3+X)^2 / (1+X) (1+X)  by solving this equation for X
∴X = 0.215
so at equilibrium:
∴ [Br2] = [Cl2] = 1-0.215 = 0.785 m 
    [BrCl] = 3+0.215 = 3.215 m

How many oxygen atoms are in 68.8mg Na₂S₂O₃ 5H₂O
guajiro [1.7K]
It should be 8 O atoms. 3O atoms in Na2S2O3 and 5O atom in 5H2O.  The reason there are 5 O atoms are because the 5 in front of H2O means you multiply each atom in the compound by that number (like the distributive property). The H2 molecule becomes 10 Hydrogen atoms (5*2) and the Oxygen becomes 5 Oxygen atoms (5*1). Then you add the 5O atoms to the 3O atoms which equals 8
