You may have noticed that when water boils, you can seebubbles that rise to the surface of the water. What is inside these bubbles? Explain.
a. air
b. hydrogen and oxygen gas
c. oxygen gas
d. water vapor
e. carbon dioxide gas
Interpretation:The true optionfor the molecules which are present inside the boiling water bubbles is to be predicted.
Concept Introduction: Any liquid when heated, vaporizes at the temperaturestated as its boiling point and the process is referred as boiling. There occurs formation of bubbles when substances particularly liquids undergo boiling. The phase corresponding to the liquid also changes to vapor during boiling process.
Answer to Problem 1DQ
Correct answer: Option (d) that is water vapor.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for true statements: Option (d) the bubbles consists of water vapor.
When water boils, bubble formation occurs. On prolonged heating, the water molecules transform from liquid to gaseous state by gaining sufficient energy through heat. This is the boiling state of water where the boiling water bubble are composed of water vapor.
The reason is that on heating water, its bottom part directly interacts with the water source. This is the hottest surface and here the temperature can rise above water’s boiling temperature. In this way some liquid water gets converted to water vapor thus forming an expanded bubble made of water vapor.
Reason for false statements: Options (a), (b), (c) and (e) are false statements.
Bubbles formed at the initial stage of water boiling are air bubbles which form by the dissolved gases in the solution particularly oxygen as well as carbon dioxide.
Thus, boiling water bubbles comprises of water vapor.

- Estimating the radius of a lead atom. (a) You are given a cube of lead that is 1.000 cm on each side. The density of lead is 11.35 g/ cm3. How many atoms of lead are in the sample? (b) Atoms are spherical; therefore, the lead atoms in this sample cannot fill all the available space As an approximation, assume that 60% of the space of the cube is filled with spherical lead atoms. Calculate the volume of one lead atom from this information. From the calculated volume (V) and the formula (4/3) 3 for the volume of a sphere, estimate the radius (r) of a lead atom.arrow_forward(For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color.

- Part II. Complete each statement below by filling in the blanks with the correct words found from the puzzle. 1. Gases, like any other states of matter, consist of very tiny particles, each of which has mass that are very far from each other. Thus, making gases high compressible and have low density. 2. Gas particles move rapidly in straight lines, travel constantly in random directions. 3. Gases diffuse rapidly that allows two or more gases to mix readily when combined. Because of the wide spaces between gas particles, the forces of attraction between them are 4. The is conserved in elastic collision of gas particles. Thus, particles of gases that collide each other or with the walls of its container do not lose kinetic energy, instead, it is only transferred to the lower-energy particle and continue to move. 5. The average energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.arrow_forward1. chemical bond A.
