Adhesive force to be able to stick to the side of glass

Snezhnost [94]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

Water uses adhesive forces that allow it to stick to certain surfaces such as glass.

Explanation:

When the angle between vertical direction and the glass wall is small, surface tension is stronger and the component of gravity perpendicular to the glass wall is small. The result of this causes water to stick to the side of a glass.

Hope this helps!

1. Calculate how many moles of glycine are in a 130.0-g sample of glycine.2. Calculate the percent nitrogen by mass in glycine.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

$n=1.732mol$

$\% N=18.7\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molecular formula of glycine is C₂H₅NO₂, we realize that the molar mass is 75.07 g/mol; thus, the moles in 130.0 g of glycine are:

$n=130.0g*\frac{1mol}{75.07 g}\\\\ n=1.732mol$

Furthermore, we can notice 75.07 grams of glycine contains 14.01 grams of nitrogen; thus, the percent nitrogen turns out:

$\% N=\frac{14.01}{75.07}*100\% \\\\\% N=18.7\%$

Best regards!

Henry Moseley organized the periodic table by A. atomic weight. B. atomic number. C. electronegativity. D. overall charge of ato

Leni [432]

B - Atomic number. Dmitri Mendeleev organised the table according to atomic weight, however this caused problems with elements such as iodine and tellurium, Iodine has a higher mass, but a lower atomic number. And to make iodine in the same group as similar elements (halogens), Mendeleev had to break his own rules and put it before tellurium in the table. Moseley fixed this problem by ordering the elements according to atomic (proton) number.
