Benny wonders why when he presses his finger against a map nothing

Chemistry

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!

How many moles of glucose (C6H12O6) are in 1.5 liters of a 4.5 M C6H12O6 solution?
lisov135 [29]
Moles of glucose = Molarity x volume solution 
                              = 4.5 x 1.5
                              = 6.75 moles.

Hope this helps, have a great day ahead!
