The weight of the body in the air is .... the weight of the submerged body

stira [4]

Answer:

the correct answer is option 'b': More than

Explanation:

The 2 situations are represented in the attached figures below

When an object is placed in air it is acted upon by force of gravity of earth which is measured as weight of the object.

While as when any object is submerged partially or completely in any fluid the fluid exerts a force in upward direction and this force is known as force of buoyancy and it's magnitude is given by Archimedes law as equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces, hence the effective force in the downward direction direction thus the apparent weight of the object in water decreases.

All solutions are mixtures; but all mixtures are not solutions. why?

aleksklad [387]

All solutions are mixtures of two or more substances, but unless the mixture has a homogeneous distribution of solutes in the solvent, then the mixture is not a solution. Therefore, all mixtures are not solutions.

When 100 mL of 0.200 M NaCl(aq) and 100 mL of 0.200 M AgNO3(aq), both at 21.9 °C, are mixed in a coffee cup calorimeter, the tem

masya89 [10]

Answer:

There is 1.3 kJ heat produced(released)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of a 0.200 M Nacl solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Volume of a 0.200 M AgNO3 solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Initial temperature = 21.9 °C

Final temperature = 23.5 °C

Solid AgCl will be formed

Step 2: The balanced equation:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) → Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + AgCl(s)

Step 3: Define the formula

Pressure is constant. → the heat evolved from the reaction is equivalent to the enthalpy of reaction.

Q=m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q = the heat transfer (in joule)

⇒ m =the mass (in grams)

⇒ c= the heat capacity (J/g°C)

⇒ ΔT = Change in temperature = T2- T1

Step 4: Calculate heat

Let's vonsider the density the same as the density of water (1g/mL)

Mass = volume * density

Mass = 200 mL * 1g/mL

Mass = 200 grams

Q= m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = 200 grams

⇒ c = the heat capacity (let's consider the heat capacity of water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = 23.5 -21.9 = 1.6°C

Q = 200 * 4.184 * 1.6 = 1338 .9 J = 1.3 kJ

There is 1.3 kJ heat produced(released)

Therefore, we assumed no heat is absorbed by the calorimeter, no heat is exchanged between the calorimeter and its surroundings, and the specific heat and mass of the solution are the same as those for water (1g/mL and 4.184 J/g°C)
