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 gas at STP has a volume of 1.00 L. If the pressure is doubled and the temperature remains constant, what is the news of the ga
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: PV = nRT

A gas at STP... This means that the temperature is 0°C and pressure is 1 atm.

R is the gas constant which is 0.08206 L*atm/(K*mol)

Rearranging for volume

V = nRT/P

The temperature and number of moles are held constant. This means that this uses Boyle's Law. (The ideal gas law could be manipulated to give us this result when T and n are held constant.)

PV = k

where k is a constant.

This means that

P₁V₁ = k = P₂V₂

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

(1 atm) * (1 L) = (2 atm) * V₂

V₂ = 0.5 L

The new volume of the gas is 0.5 L.

melomori [17]

Answer:

Main job of golgi bodies is to sort and package proteins and other substances in a plant cell.

Explanation:

Golgi bodies are also called post office of the cell because it modify and distribute proteins for the cell. First, proteins are made in the organelle of the cell i. e. endoplasmic reticulum. From here, it is send to the Golgi apparatus for modification. Golgi bodies add some special structures with the protein and this protein leaves golgi bodies which is used by the cell where it is needed.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

The answer is 5.10

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>
  • pH = 1.9
<h3><u>To </u><u>Find</u>;</h3>
  • pOH = ?

We know that

pH + pOH = 7

pOH = 7 – pH

pOH = 7 – 1.90

pOH = 5.10

Thus, The pOH of the solution is 5.10
