The tongue depressor will float on water  because its density is less than that of water.

<h3>When do substances sink or float in a liquid?</h3>

Substance will either float or sink in a liquid depending on the comparative densities of the substance and the liquid.

A substance will float in a liquid if it is less dense than the liquid.

A substance will sink in a liquid if it is denser than the liquid.

The density of the tongue depressor = 4.54/6.78 = 0.67 g/cm³

The density of water is 1  g/cm³.

Therefore, the tongue depressor will float on water.

In conclusion, the density of substances determines whether thy float or sink in water.

How moles are in 45.7g of CH3?
miskamm [114]

first find the atomic weight of CH3 which would be

atomic weight: 12.011 (3×1.008) = 36.32 g/mol

then find the moles in the given mass

36.32 ÷ 45.7 = 0.794

What is 2,100 in Scientific notation
Verizon [17]
It is 2.1 x 10^3 because your base number needs to be in between 1 and 10, and the number you are converting is non-decimal, so the exponent is positive. It is 10^3 because you are moving the decimal 3 places to the right

Chloroform flows through a 4.26 inch inside-diameter pipe at the rate of 3.60 gallons per minute. What is the average velocity o
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1) 0,081 ft/s

2) 0,746 lb/s

Explanation:

The relation between flow and velocity of a fluid is given by:

Q=Av

where:

  • Q, flow [ft3/s]
  • A, cross section of the pipe [ft2]
  • v, velocity of the fluid [ft/s]

1)

To convert our data to appropiate units, we use the following convertion factors:

1 ft=12 inches

1 ft3=7,48 gallons

1 minute=60 seconds

So,

Q=\frac{3,60 gallons}{1 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s}*\frac{1ft3}{7,48gallons}=0,00802 \frac{ft3}{s}

As the pipe has a circular section, we use A=πd^2/4:

d=4,26 inch *\frac{1ft}{12 inch}=0,355ft\\  A=\pi \frac{0,355^{2} }{4}=0,0989ft2

Finally:

Q=vA......................v=Q/A

v=\frac{0,00802ft^{3} /s}{0,0989ft^{2} }=0,081ft/s

2)

The following formula is used to calculate the specific gravity of a material:

SG = ρ / ρW  

where:

  • SG = specific gravity,
  • ρ = density of the material [lb/ft3]
  • ρW = density of water [lb/ft3] = 62.4 lbs/ft3

then:

ρ = SG*ρW   = 1,49* 62,4 lb/ft3 = 93 lb/ft3

To calculate the mass flow, we just use the density of the chloroform in lb/ft3 to relate mass and volume:

0,00802 \frac{ft3}{s}*\frac{93lb}{1ft3}=0,746lb/s

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), and n
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The  predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:

ammonia (NH3)

methane (CH4)

and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

Explanation:

The types of intermolecular forces:

1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.

2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.

3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.

NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.

Methane has London dispersion forces.

Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.

NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.
