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.

A sample of ammonia gas at 75°c and 445 mm hg has a volume of 16.0 l. what volume will it occupy if the pressure rises to 1225 m
ioda
In this kind of exercises, you should  use the "ideal gas" rules: PV = nRT
P should be in Pascal: 
445mmHg = 59328Pa
1225mmHg = 163319Pa

V should be in cubic meter:
16L = 0.016 m3

R = \frac{PV}{nT} = constant
\frac{P1 V1}{n T} = \frac{P2 V2}{n T}
==> P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
V2 = \frac{P1 V1}{P2} = \frac{445 0.016}{1225}
V2 = 0.00581 m3 = 5.81 L

Distinguish between an absorption spectrum and an emission spectrum. With which did Bohr work?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Bohr used emission spectrum for its mono atomic model....

Explanation:

Emission Spectrum is produced when atoms are excited by energy. After excitation, they emit this energy in the form of different wavelengths according to the type of atom and produce a unique fingerprint of themselves called as it's emission spectrum.

Absorption Spectrum is a type of spectrum that is produces when photons of light are absorbed by electrons at one state. they jump to another state and may cause scattering. This produces a specific absorption spectrum for that specific atom.

A 2.04 g lead weight, initially at 10.8 oC, is submerged in 7.74 g of water at 52.2 oC in an insulated container. clead = 0.128
QveST [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello, in this case, the lead is catching heat and the water losing it, that's why the heat relation ship is (D is for Δ):

DH_{lead}=-DH_{water}

Now, by stating the heat capacity definition:

m_{Pb}C_{Pb}*(T_{eq}-T_{lead}=-m_{H_2O}C_{H_2O}*(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O})\\

Solving for the equilibrium temperature:

T_{eq}=\frac{m_{Pb}C_{Pb}T_{Pb}+m_{H_2O}C_{H_2O}T_{H_2O}}{m_{Pb}C_{Pb}+m_{H_2O}C_{H_2O}} \\\\T_{eq}=\frac{2.04g*0.128J/(g^oC)*10.8^oC+7.74g*4.18J/(g^oC)*52.2^oC}{2.04g*0.128J/(g^oC)+7.74g*4.18J/(g^oC)} \\\\T_{eq}=51.87^oC

Which is very close to the water's temperature since the lead's both mass and head capacity are lower than those for water.

Best regards.

when 5.60g of an iron oxide is heated with carbon, 3.92g of iron is produced. calculate the empirical formula of the iron oxide
svetlana [45]

Answer:  Fe2O3

Explanation:

  5.60 g Iron Oxide

-  3.92 g Iron

===========

=  1.68 g Oxygen

Convert Fe and O to moles:

3.92 g Iron/55.85 = 0.0702 moles Fe

1.68 g Oxygen/16 = 0.105 moles O

The ratio of O to Fe is 1.50.  There are 3/2 O for each Fe.  Multiply by 2 to get whole numbers:  2Fe for every 3O:  Fe2O3
