Define adhesion and give an example?

1 answer:

3 0

Similar to Cohesion, adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances . Water uses adhesion when it's attraction to another substance is greater than the water's attraction to itself. if you have ever dropped a cup of water on a hardwood floor,you know that it spreads out instead of foaming beads.

the pressure and temperature of 10 liters of gas are doubled. if the original condition are 2 atmosphere of pressure and 400k wh

Harman [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{10 L}}$

Explanation:

We have two pressures, two temperatures, and one volume.

This looks like a question in which we can use the Combined Gas Law to calculate the volume.

$\dfrac{p_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2}}$

Data:

$\begin{array}{rclrclrcl}p_{1}& =& \text{2 atm}\qquad & V_{1} &= & \text{10 L}\qquad & T_{2}& =& \text{400 K}\\p_{2}& =& \text{4 atm}\qquad & V_{2} &= & \text{?}\qquad & T_{2}& =& \text{800 K}\\\end{array}$

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{2 \times 10}{400}& =& \dfrac{4V_{2} }{800}\\\\0.050& = &0.0050V_{2}\\V_{2}& = &\mathbf{10 L}\end{array}\\\text{The final volume is }\boxed{\textbf{10 L}}$

Which statement is true about BF3, a nonpolar molecule? It has nonpolar bonds and a symmetrical structure. It has nonpolar bonds

konstantin123 [22]

I think the correct answer is the first option. It has nonpolar bonds and a symmetrical structure. The structure of a BF3 molecule shows a symmetrical trigonal geometry. The net dipole moment of the molecule is zero therefore it is polar.

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2.

Dmitry [639]

The number of moles of moles of Magnesium,chlorine and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of Mg(ClO4)2 is calculated as below

find the total number of each atom in Mg(ClO4)2

that is mg = 1 atom
Cl = 1x2 = 2 atoms
O = 4 x2 = 8 atoms

then multiply 7.80 moles with total number of each atom , to get the number moles of each atom
that is

Mg = 7.80 x1= 7.80 moles
cl = 7.80 x2=15.6 moles
O = 7.80 x8= 62.4 moles
