What is the movement of water up a narrow tube due to attractions with the surface of the tube called? capillary action meniscus

polarity surface tension.
Chemistry
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]2 years ago
6 0

The attraction mediated flow of water in the narrow tube has been termed as Capillary action. Thus, option A is correct.

The process of flowing up of liquid with the attraction force between the molecules and the surface has been achieved with the surface characteristics.

<h3>Movement of water in a narrow tube</h3>

The surface has the force of attraction with the flowing liquids in the sample. It results in the increased surface interaction, and the liquid flows up in the tube against gravity.

The movement of the liquid in the water through a narrow tube has been termed as capillary action. Thus, option A is correct.

Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

Temperature is _____ to the average kinetic energy of a gas.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As on increasing the temperature, the molecules gain more kinetic energy due to which they tend to collide and move rapidly from one place to another.  

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

This means that temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of a gas.

A sample of gas in which [h2s] = 3.50 m is heated to 1400 k in a sealed vessel. after chemical equilibrium has been achieved, wh
Bond [772]
The value of Kc for the thermal decomposition of H₂S is 2.2 x 10⁻⁴ at 1400 K:
                        2 H₂S(g) ↔     2 H₂(g) + S₂(g)
initial                  3.5 M               0           0
at equilibrium     3.5 M - 2x       2x          x
Kc             = [S₂][H₂]² / [H₂S]² 
2.2 X 10⁻⁴ = x(2x)² / (3.5 - 2x)²
2.2 x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x³ / (3.5)² Assuming x <<<<< 3.5
x = 0.088
Thus [H₂S] = 3.324 M
