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

Chemistry
1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
6 0

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 is the mass of carbon related to the mole?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Simply put, you can go from moles to grams and vice versa by using the mass of 1 mole of that substance, i.e its molar mass. For example, the molar mass of carbon is 12.011 g/mol. This means that 1 mole of carbon, or 6.022⋅1023 atoms of carbon, weigh 12.011 g.

Hrxn = Q reaction / mol of reaction
mol of reaction = M * V = 10 * 1 = 10 mmol = 0.01 mol
Q water = m * C * (Tf - Ti)
             = (10 + 10) (4.184) (26-20) = 502.08 J
Q reaction = - Q water = -502.08 J
Hrxn = -502.08 / (0.01) = - 50208 J = - 50.21 kJ/mol

Looking at the different chemical structures, which one(s) might be able to hold
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

c) Fullerene and carbon nanotubes because they have empty spaces inside the  molecules

Explanation:

Fullerene and carbon nanotubes would be the most desired in order to hold the cancer fighting drugs and to carry them through the body safely.

  • These molecules have empty spaces in them.
  • The cavities makes it possible for storage.
  • As they pass through the body, they can be held perfectly well to their target site of action.

In the laboratory you dilute 5.32 mL of a concentrated 6.00 M perchloric acid solution to a total volume of 100 mL. What is the
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.3192 M

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of stock solution (V1) = 5.32 mL Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 6 M

Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 100 mL

Molarity of diluted solution (M2) =?

We can obtain the molarity of the diluted solution by using the dilution formula as shown follow:

M1V1 = M2V2

6 × 5.32 = M2 ×100

31.92 = M2 × 100

Divide both side by 100

M2 = 31.92 / 100

M2 = 0.3192 M

Therefore, the molarity of the diluted solution is 0.3192 M.
