Surface tension, property of a liquid surface displayed by its acting as if it were a stretched elastic membrane. This phenomenon can be observed in the nearly spherical shape of small drops of liquids and of soap bubbles. Because of this property, certain insects can stand on the surface of water.

Answer:

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as razor blades and insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged.

Heyyy Powerpuff girls! what advantage does globe maps have over a flat map?

babunello [35]

Answer:

The advantage of the globe is that it promotes visual accuracy. Students need to use a globe frequently if they are to form accurate mental maps. The advantage of the world map is that you can see the entire world at one time. The disadvantage is that world maps distort shape, size, distance, and direction.

(1 point) Hydrogen fluoride (HF) has a lower molecular weight compared to hydrogen chloride (HCl), yet its boiling temperature i

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct option is: D. Two types of secondary (or intermolecular) bonding are present between hydrogen fluoride molecules, whereas only one type of secondary bonding is present between hydrogen chloride molecules

Explanation:

Boiling point of a chemical substance depends on the molecular mass and the intermolecular forces, which are the interactive forces present between chemical species

1. The molecular mass of hydrogen fluoride (HF) is less than hydrogen chloride (HCl).

2. But the intermolecular forces present between the HF molecules are stronger than the intermolecular forces present between the HCl molecules.

This is because hydrogen fluoride exhibits two types of intermolecular forces: strong hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions. Whereas, hydrogen chloride exhibits only one type of intermolecular force i.e. dipole-dipole interactions.

Therefore, as a net result, the boiling point of HF is higher than the boiling point of HCl.

How many grams of acetylene are produced by adding water to 5.00 g CaC2?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.03125g of acetylene

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.

1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2

In terms of mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

where the molar mass of the elements are;

Ca = 40g/mol

C = 12g/mol

H = 1g/mol

CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol

C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol

64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2

5g would produce x?

64 = 26

5 = x

Upon solving for x we have;

x = (5 * 26) / 64

x = 2.03125g
