Using the words cohesive and adhesive, explain why water forms a meniscus?

1 answer:

3 0

Adhesion is responsible for a meniscus and this has to do in part with water's fairly high surface tension. Water molecules are attracted to the molecules in the wall of the glass beaker. And since water molecules like to stick together, when the molecules touching the glass cling to it, other water molecules cling to the molecules touching the glass, forming the meniscus. They'll travel up the glass as far as water's cohesive forces will allow them, until gravity prevents them from going further. Cohesion is an intermolecular attraction between like molecules (other water molecules in this case).

What is the energy of a single photon of blue light with a wavelength of 488 nm (488 × 10-9 m)?

Vinvika [58]

E = hf

c = speed of electromagnetic wave, c ≈ 3 * 10⁸ m/s,
Planck's constant h = 6.63 *10⁻³⁴ Js

h = Planck's constnat, Frquency, f = c/λ = (3*10⁸)/(488*10⁻⁹)

E = hf

E = hc/λ

E = (6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ * 3 * 10⁸) /(488 * 10⁻⁹)

Energy, E ≈ 4.0758 * 10⁻¹⁹ Joules.

The liquid dispensed from a burette is called ___________.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The liquid that is been dispensed during titration as regards this question is Titrant.

Titration can be regarded as common laboratory method that is been carried out during quantitative chemical analysis.

This analysis helps to know the concentration of an identified analyte.

Burette can be regarded as laboratory apparatus.

It is used in the in measurements of variable amounts of liquid ,this apparatus helps in dispensation of liquid, especially when performing titration.

The specifications is been done base on their volume, or resolution.

The liquid that comes out of this apparatus is regarded as Titrant, and this is gotten during titration process, which is usually carried out during volumetric analysis.

Therefore, burrete is used in volumetric analysis.

Suppose 110.0 mL110.0 mL of hydrogen gas at STP combines with a stoichiometric amount of fluorine gas and the resulting hydrogen

Fittoniya [83]

Suppose 110.0 mL of hydrogen gas at STP combines with a stoichiometric amount of fluorine gas and the resulting hydrogen fluoride dissolves in water to form 150.0 mL of an aqueous solution. 0.032 M is the concentration of the resulting hydrofluoric acid.

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

Now write the balanced chemical equation

H₂ + F₂ → 2HF

<h3>What is Ideal Gas ?</h3>

An ideal gas is a gas that obey gas laws at all temperature and pressure conditions. It have velocity and mass but do not have volume. Ideal gas is also called perfect gas. Ideal gas is a hypothetical gas.

It is expressed as:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = number of moles

R = Ideal gas constant

T = temperature

Here,

P = 1 atm [At STP]

V = 110 ml = 0.11 L

T = 273 K [At STP]

R = 0.0821 [Ideal gas constant]

Now put the values in above expression

PV = nRT

1 atm × 0.11 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/ K. mol × 273 K

$n = \frac{1\ \text{atm} \times 0.11\ L}{0.0821\ \text{L. atm/ K. mol} \times 273\ K}$

n = 0.0049 mol

<h3>How to find the concentration of resulting solution ? </h3>

To calculate the concentration of resulting solution use the expression

$C = \frac{n}{V}$

$= \frac{0.0049}{0.15}$

= 0.032 M

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Suppose 110.0 mL of hydrogen gas at STP combines with a stoichiometric amount of fluorine gas and the resulting hydrogen fluoride dissolves in water to form 150.0 mL of an aqueous solution. 0.032 M is the concentration of the resulting hydrofluoric acid.
