Why can't you walk on water?

Chemistry

Svetllana [295]3 years ago

Technically speaking, walking over pure water isn't possible. The only way it can be done is by converting it to a high density fluid or one with high viscosity. Also, if you think you can run at 108 km/hr (30 m/s), then you'll have the ability to run across water.

This happens because of surface tension. Water molecules are attracted to each other. They form weak bonds between each other. Where these molecules meet air, the exposed water molecules can't attach to any more molecules in front of them — there's air there.

Carbon dioxide and water vapor are variable gases because
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Their amount is not consistent at all parts of the atmosphere

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide and water vapor exists as variable gases in the atmosphere because their amount varies from one part to the other.

  • The abundance of variable gases is influenced strongly by activities from the surface.
  • This variability occurs a result of the contribution from from life activities on the  surface.
  • Also, due to properties of the gases, they are not evenly distributed.
  • At certain altitudes, the amount of water vapor can be low.

What is chemical potential energy?
tigry1 [53]

Chemical potential energy: chemical potential of a species is energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, in a chemical reaction or phase transition

Gasoline used as kinetic energy: the various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car. The release of that energy does two things. Some of the potential energy is transformed into work, which is used to move the car

Dynamite used as kinetic energy: the dynamite being used was most likely made of nitroglycerin. Once the dynamite explodes from a percussion force (then breaking of weak bonds to releasing the raw atom) the energy is then converted to thermal, kinetic, and sound energy.

State the type of acid secreted by the stomach.
Ahat [919]
The gastric chief cells of the stomach secrete enzymes for protein breakdown (inactive pepsinogen, and in infancy rennin). Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin, which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids, a process known as proteolysis.
