Why can't you walk on water?

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.

You dissolve 14 g of Mg(NO3)2 in water and dilute to

mart [117]

Answer:

0.127M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

Molar mass of Mg(NO3)2 = 24 + (14 + 16(3)}2

= 24 + {14 + 48}2

= 24 + 124

= 148g/mol

Using the formula, mole = mass/molar mass, to convert mass of Mg(NO3)2 to mole

mole = 14g ÷ 148g/mol

mole = 0.095mol

Volume = 750mL = 750/1000 = 0.75L

Molarity = 0.095mol ÷ 0.75L

Molarity = 0.127M

Calculate the number of miles of magnesium,chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.00 moles of magnesium perchlorate

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

5.00 mol Mg

10.0 mol Cl

40.0 mol O

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Moles of Mg(ClO₄)₂: 5.00 mol

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of Mg

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Mg is 1:1.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 1 mol Mg/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 5.00 mol Mg

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of Cl

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:2.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 2 mol Cl/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 10.0 mol Cl

Step 4: Calculate the number of moles of O

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:8.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 8 mol O/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 40.0 mol O

Hello! I just need a little bit of help. I'm supposed to design an experiment on how reaction rates are determined and affected

alexandr1967 [171]

Get 3 cups of water at the exact same temperature, using the thermometer to check.
Label the cups as ‘whole’, ‘pieces’, and ‘crushed’
Next, get something to dissolve, in this case, polident. Take one of the polident tablets and break it into 4 pieces, and set it aside.
Take another polident tablet and this time put it into a different cup, and crush it. Set it aside.
Keep the last tablet whole.
Set up your stopwatch and drop the polident tablet that is whole in the cup labeled ‘whole’, starting the stopwatch at the same time.
Watch the cup and see when the tablet is fully dissolved, then stop the stopwatch.
Record the time in the table.
Repeat steps 6-8 for both the ‘pieces’ and ‘crushed’ tablets.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!
