The pressure exerted on a surface by an object increases as the surface area of contact decreases.

Explanation:

Pressure measures the amount of force exerted per a given area of an object. From this definition, the surface area of the object and force applied, affects the pressure applied.

As Benny presses his finger against a map, nothing happens to the map because the force applied is affected by the increased surface area of his finger. However as he presses a thumbtack into the map using the same force the tack will probably poke a hole in the map because the small( decreased) surface area of the sharp point of the thumbtack produces a much larger pressure on the map than the area of Benny finger. I hope this helps, thanks!

Dehydration is a reversible process. Which of the two set-ups, distillation or

Nata [24]

Answer:

Distillation will generate the most cyclohexene.

Explanation:

Let us assume following attached reaction for the synthesis of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol which attains equilibrium after certain time.

As shown in figure the cyclohexanol upon treatment with phosphoric acid undergoes dehydration reaction (removal of water) and produces cyclohexene. On the other hand cyclohexene reacts with water (hydration reaction) and produces cyclohexanol.

Now, if this reaction is allowed in a single flask it will attain equilibrium and will not generate the cyclohexene in high quantity. On the other hand if we apply Le Chatelier's principle ( removal of product moves the equilibrium in right direction) and distillate cyclohexene (boiling the cyclohexene to convert it into vapors and then collect it after condensation) will move the reaction in forward direction and will allow us to generate cyclohexene in high amounts.

Mario places 10 mL of water in a test tube and heats the liquid over a Bunsen burner for 2 minutes. After removing the test tube from the Bunsen burner, there are 6 mL of water left in the test tube. This experiment is a good example of a physical change involving phase changes.

2.56 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 20.32 g of oxygen to form X g of water. X = g

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Mass of water produced is 22.86 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 2.56 g

Mass of oxygen = 20.32 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.635 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.56 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.28 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and hydrogen.

O₂ : H₂O

1 : 2

0.635 ; 2×0.635 = 1.27

H₂ : H₂O

2 : 2

1.28 : 1.28

The number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.27 × 18 g/mol

Mass = 22.86 g
