give an example of how an organism can use surface tension?

Answers

Answer:Insects, such as water striders, and spiders, such as fisher spiders, can glide or scamper across the surface of water. These critters are small enough that their weight can be supported almost entirely by surface tension, the relatively weak forces that hold water molecules together.

Explanation:

Answer:

Examples of surface tension Water striders are able to walk on top of water due to a combination of several factors. Water striders use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs to help them stay above water. Water striders use this surface tension to their advantage through their highly adapted legs and distributed weight.

What volume of oxygen at 455 K and a pressure of 127400 Pa is produced by the decomposition of 114.7 g of BaO2 to BaO and O2?

Answers

Answer:

10 L

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2BaO2 = 2BaO + O2

Number of moles of  BaO2 = 114.7 g/169.33 g/mol = 0.677 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of BaO2 yields 1 moles of O2

0.677 moles of BaO2 yields 0.677 * 1/2 = 0.3385 moles of oxygen

Hence;

PV=nRT

V = ?

P = 127400 Pa or 1.257 atm

T = 455 K

n = 0.3385 moles

R = 0.082 atmLmol-1K-1

V = nRT/P

V = 0.3385 * 0.082 * 455/1.257

V= 10 L

how many years can carbon dioxide stay in the atmosphere formed

Answers

Once it's added to the atmosphere, it hangs around, for a long time: between 300 to 1,000 years. Thus, as humans change the atmosphere by emitting carbon dioxide, those changes will endure on the timescale of many human lives.

Ammonia (NH3) is widely used as a fertilizer and in many household cleaners. How much ammonia is produced when 5.81 mol of hydrogen gas react with an excess of nitrogen gas?

Answers

Answer:

65.841 g

Explanation:

The balanced equation for this reaction is;

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3  

From the question, we are interested in ammonia and the hydrogen gas.

From the equation

3 mol of H2 produces 2 mol of NH3

5.81 mol would produce x

Solving of x;

x = 5.81 * 2 / 3

x = 3.873 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = Number of moles * molar mass

Mass =  3.873 * 17 = 65.841 g

PLEASE HELP WITH CHEM !! Calculate the [OH-] of each of the following solutions given the [H+]. AND Classify each of the solutions in the question above as either acid, base, or neutral. AND FIND THE PH

Answers

pH, pOH, [H+], and [OH-] are all interrelated. For simplicity, we assume that we're working with aqueous solutions at 25 °C.

The following mathematical relations are relevant here:

pH = -log[H⁺]pOH = -log[OH⁻][H⁺] = 10^-pH[OH⁻] = 10^-pOHpH + pOH = 14[H⁺] × [OH⁻] = 10^-14

A pH of 7 is neutral; a pH less than 7 is acidic; and a pH greater than 7 is basic.

---

We are given four solutions of varying [H⁺], and we want to find the pH and the [OH⁻]. The pH will tell us whether the solution is neutral, an acid, or a base.

Finding the [OH⁻]

Using the relationship [H⁺] × [OH⁻] = 10^-14, we can calculate the [OH⁻] of each solution by dividing 10^-14 by the given [H⁺]:

[OH⁻] = 10^-14/(3.3 × 10^-5) = 3.0 × 10^-10

[OH⁻] = 10^-14/(4.0 × 10^-8) = 2.5 × 10^-7

[OH⁻] = 10^-14/(7.2 × 10^-11) = 1.4 × 10^-4

[OH⁻] = 10^-14/(8.2 × 10^-4) = 1.2 × 10^-11

Note: While not indicated here, the units for [H⁺] and [OH⁻] are moles/liter (M).

Finding the pH

To find the pH of each solution, we take the negative logarithm of the [H⁺] with base 10, i.e., pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]:

pH = -log(3.3 × 10^-5) = 4.48

pH = -log(4.0 × 10^-8) = 7.40

pH = -log(7.2 × 10^-11) = 10.14

pH = -log(8.2 × 10^-4) = 3.09

Note that, for significant figures involving logarithms, the number of decimal places should equal the number of significant figures in the argument of our logarithm (the argument is what we're taking the -log of). Since we're taking the -log of quantities given to two significant figures, our corresponding pH values are given to two decimal places.

Acid, Base, or Neutral?

As mentioned above, a pH = 7 is neutral, a pH < 7 is acidic, and a pH > 7 is basic.

4.48 < 7, so the first solution is an acid.

7.40 > 7, so the second solution is a base.

10.14 > 7, so the third solution is a base.

3.09 < 7, so the fourth solution is an acid.

Mm 2mCOO 19. Calculate the hydrogen-ion concentration [H+] for the aqueous solution in which [OH-] is 1 x (3 points) 10-11 mol/L. Is this solution acididc, basic, or neutral? Show your work.

Answers

Answer: The hydrogen-ion concentration for the aqueous solution is [tex]10^{-3}mol/L[/tex] and solution is acidic.

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxyl ion concentration.  

[tex]pOH=-\log [OH^-][/tex]  

Putting in the values:

[tex]pOH=-\log[1\times 10^{-11}][/tex]

[tex]pOH=11[/tex]

[tex]pH+pOH=14[/tex]

\[tex]pH=14-11=3[/tex]

[tex]pH=-log[H^+][/tex]

[tex]3=-log[H^+][/tex]

[tex][H^+]=10^{-3}M[/tex]

As pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.
