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.

Calculate the volume of a balloon that can hold 113.4 g of nitrogen dioxide, NO2 gas at STP-

Karolina [17]

Answer:

55.18 L

Explanation:

First we convert 113.4 g of NO₂ into moles, using its molar mass:

113.4 g ÷ 46 g/mol = 2.465 mol

Then we use the PV=nRT formula, where:

P = 1atm & T = 273K (This means STP)

n = 2.465 mol

R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹

V = ?

Input the data:

1 atm * V = 2.465 mol * 0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 273 K

And solve for V:

V = 55.18 L

Consider the following three-step reaction pathway.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$NO \longrightarrow N_2O_2 \longrightarrow N_2O \longrightarrow N2$

Explanation:

The intermediates are the products of all the steps of the reaction pathway, with the exception of the last one. So the intermediates will be:

N2O2 from the first step
N2O from the second step

The list from reactant to final product:

$NO \longrightarrow N_2O_2 \longrightarrow N_2O \longrightarrow N2$

Note: the water is considered a by-product, given that is not the product of interest in this steps.

The reaction between bromine gas and fluorine gas to create bromine monofluoride gas has reached equilibrium. What is the effect

DedPeter [7]

Answer: The reaction between bromine gas and fluorine gas to create bromine monofluoride gas has reached equilibrium. What is the effect of adding more bromine gas to the reaction chamber?

More fluorine gas will be produced.

More bromine gas will be produced.

More bromine monofluoride gas will be produced.

Less bromine monofluoride gas will be produced.

I think it is more bromine monofluoride will be produce
