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.

Of the choices below, which is true for the relationship shown? It is Ka for the acid H3P2O72−. It is Kb for the acid H3P2O72−.
Naily [24]
The expression for the Ka for the given acid is:

Ka = [H2P2O7^2-] [H3O+] /[H3P2O7^2-]

<span>Ka is the acid dissociation constant or the acidity constant. It is a measure of the acid strength when in solution. It is an equilibrium constant for the dissociation of the acid.</span>

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

im not sure either B or D b is the only one with evidence

Explanation:

Most chemical chain reactions have very reactive intermediates called free radicals. The intermediate that maintains the chain reaction is called a chain carrier. These atoms or fragments are usually derived from stable molecules due to photo- or heat-dissociation
