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.

If a 66.5 g sample of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is dissolved in enough water to make 315 mL of solution, what will be the molari
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

2.64 M

Explanation:

To find the molarity, you need to (1) convert grams to moles (via molar mass), then (2) convert mL to L, and then (3) calculate the molarity (via molarity ratio). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sigs figs of the given values.

(Step 1)

Molar Mass (NH₄NO₃): 2(14.007 g/mol) + 4(1.008 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (NH₄NO₃): 80.04 g/mol

66.5 grams NH₄NO₃                1 mole
---------------------------------  x  ----------------------  =  0.831 moles NH₄NO₃
                                             80.04 grams

(Step 2)

1,000 mL = 1 L

 315 mL                1 L
--------------  x  ------------------  =  0.315 L
                        1,000 mL

(Step 3)

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity = 0.831 moles / 0.315 L

Molarity = 2.64 M

Why do scientists use models to study atoms?
umka2103 [35]
Because atoms are the small and can't be seen by your eyes. It is so small that scientists need to use a model. A model help scientists study things. So, scientists needs to study atoms using models.

Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit can be converted to Celsius by first subtracting 32, then dividing by 1.8. What is the Celsius
kap26 [50]

Answer:

31.1°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Temperature = 88°F

The formula of the to convert is:

         T°F = T°C - 32  / 1.8  = \frac{TC - 32}{1.8}

Now input the parameters and solve;

       T°F =\frac{ 88  -32}{1.8}

      T°F = 31.1°C
