When an object floats in water, it displaces a volume of water that has a weight equal to the weight of the object. If a ship ha

s a weight of 4247 tons, how many cubic feet of seawater will it displace? Seawater has a density of 1.025 g·cm-3; 1 ton = 2000 lb. (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)

The amount of seawater that will be displaced would be 1.3274 x 10^5  ft^3

<h3>Density and volume</h3>

Density = mass/volume.

Since a floating object displaces its own weight, a 4247 tons ship will also displace the same amount of water.

4247 tons of seawater = 3.8528 x 10^9 g

volume of 3.8528 x 10^9 g seawater = mass/density = 3.8528 x 10^9 g/1.025 = 3758829268.29 cubic centimeter.

3758829268.29 cm^3 = 132741.80 ft^3 or 1.3274 x 10^5  ft^3

If an aqueous solution has a ph of 5.57 what is the concentration of hydroxide ion ([oh-]) in the solution?
irga5000 [103]
PH=5.57
pH+pOH=14
5.57 + pOH=14
pOH = 14-5.57= 8.43

pOH = - log  [OH⁻]
-pOH=  log  [OH⁻]


[OH^{-}] = 10^{-pOH}= 10^{-8.43}= 3.72*10^{-9}&#10;&#10; [OH^{-}]= 3.72*10^{-9}

Which pair of substances would most likely result in the production of a gas when reacting with an acid?
vovangra [49]

Answer: metal and carbonate

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions (OH^-) when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions (H^+) in water.

An acid is represented as :

HX\rightarrow H^++X^-

1. When metal is treated with an acid such as HCl, if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its salt solution and thus produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

M+xHCl(aq)\rightarrow MCl_x(aq)+xH_2(g)

2. When carbonates are treated with acid, double displacement takes place ad carbon dioxide is released as a gas.

MCO_3(aq)+xHCl(aq)\rightarrow MCl_x(aq)+xH_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

vodka [1.7K]

It is important to make sure the solvent is level and not at an angle so you do not get an angled solvent front.
