Does ice sink or float,and why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alla [95]4 years ago
6 0
An Explanation -
Why Ice Floats. A substance floats if it is less dense, or has less mass per unit volume, than other components in a mixture. For example, if you toss a handful of rocks into a bucket of water, the rocks, which are dense compared to the water, will sink. The water, which is less dense than the rocks, will float.

What mass in grams would 5.7L of hydrogen gas occupy at STP?​
tekilochka [14]

Answer:  The correct answer is:  " 0.54 g " .

__________________________________________

Explanation:

Note that "hydrogen gas" is:  

H₂ (g)  ;   that is:  a "diatomic element" (diatomic gas) ;

_________________________________________

The molecular weight of "H" is:  1.00794 g ;

   (From the Periodic Table of Elements).

So, the molecular weight of:  H₂ (g)  is:

    " 1.00794 g * 2  = 2.01588 g ; {use calculator) ;

_________________________________________

Note the conversion for a gas at STP:

______

  1 mol of a gas = 22.4 L gas;

___

i.e. " 1 mol / 22.4 L " ;

____

So:     " 5.7 L H₂ (g)  *  \frac{1 mol H_{2} }{22.4 L} *\frac{2.01588 g}{mol} =? ;

The "L" ("literes" cancel out to "1" ;  since "L/L = 1 ;

The "mol" (moles) cancel out to "1" ; since "mol/mol = 1 ;

____

and we are left with:

____

 [5.7 * 2.104588 g ] / 22.4  =  ?  g ;

______________________

→ [ 11.9961516  g ] / 22.4 =

          0.53554248214  g ;l

_____________________________

We round this value to:  " 0.54 g " ;

 → since "5.7 L " has 2 (two) significant figures;  

     22.4 is an exact number conversion;

     and "5.7 L" has fewer significant figures than:

    " 2.104588 " ; or:  " 1.00794 " .

  → as such: We round to "2 (two) significant figures."

______________________________

Hope this is helpful.  Wishing you the best in your academic endeavors!

Identify the ways that art and science are similar
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Arts and science are similar in that they are expressions of what it is to be human in this world.

Explanation:

Both are driven by curiosity, discovery, the aspiration for knowledge of the world or oneself, and perhaps, as the conceptual artist Goshka Macuga said on her recent visit to Cern, a desire for world domination.
