Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 12Q
Before the days of electric or gas clothes dryers, clothes were hung outside to dry even when the temperature was well below freezing. They would freeze stiff and yet in a few hours would be dry. How is this possible?

In a body of water, the surface tension caused by the attraction between water molecules is strong. Which of the following is a consequence of this property?
Water is considered to be a universal solvent.
When water freezes, the molecules move farther apart.
Only a limited amount of solute can be dissolved in a sample of water.
Objects with a higher density than water can be observed floating on water.
2. Why does the temperature of a mixture of ice and water remain constant during melting and freezing?
As water cools to a temperature of zero degrees Celsius and forms ice, water molecules tend to
move farther apart.
vībrate rapidly.

- the compound malic acid is used to increase the acidity of fruit flavoured products. it freezes at 401 K and boils at 423 K. What is the state of this compound at 100 degrees celsius? Liquid, gas, solid or aqueous??arrow_forwardIdentify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid. Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension. Mercury has a lower surface tension than water. Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises. Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.arrow_forwardFour liquids are described in the table below. Use the second column of the table to explain the order of their freezing points, and the third column to explain the order of their boiling points. For example, select '1' in the second column next to the liquid with the lowest freezing point. Select '2' in the second column next to the liquid with the next higher freezing point, and so on. In the third column, select '1' next to the liquid with the lowest boiling point, '2' next to the liquid with the next higher boiling point, and so on.
