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.

pogonyaev

Answer:

12.5mm

Explanation:

1cm = 10mm

so you need to multiply the 1.25 by 10 to get it in mm.

Transverse waves have motion perpendicular to velocity, while longitudinal waves have motion parallel to velocity.

Explanation:

The correct option of all is that transverse waves have motion perpendicular to velocity while longitudinal waves have motion parallel to velocity.

A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another. There several types of waves like sound, electromagnetic , ocean waves etc.

  • Waves can be classified as either longitudinal or transverse waves based on the direction through which they are propagated.
  • Longitudinal waves are waves propagated parallel to the source of velocity.
  • An example is sound waves and seismic p-waves.
  • They have series of rarefaction and compression along their path.
  • Transverse waves are propagated perpendicular to their source.
  • An example is electromagnetic waves in which electrical and magnetic fields vibrates perpendicularly.

g modenr vacuum pumps make it easy to attain pressures of the order of in the laboratory. at a preasusure of 6.75 atm and an ord
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Number of molecules = 1.8267×10^20

Explanation:

From the question, we can deuced that the gases behave ideally, the we can make use of the ideal gas equation, which is expressed below;

PV = nRT

where

P =pressure

V =volume

n = the number of moles

R is the gas constant equal to 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K

T is the absolute temperature

Given:

P = 6.75 atm;

T = 290.0 k,

; V = 1.07 cm³ = 0.001 L

( 6.75 atm)(0.00107 L) = n(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(290K)

n = 3.0335167*10^-4 moles

But there are 6.022×10²³ molecules in 1 mole,

Number of molecules = 1.8267×10^20

Which of the following would not cause an increase in the pressure inside a sealed container of neon gas?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The pressure in a sealed container means the volume of container is fixed

so we cannot change the volume of container hence gas

The other factors which can affect the pressure are

a) moles of gas : if we increase the moles of gas the pressure of gas will increase

b) Temperature: if we increase the pressure of gas the pressure of gas will increase due to increase in kinetic energy

So the following cannot increase pressure

a) decrease in moles of gas

b) decrease in temperature of gas
