Does ice sink or float,and why?

1 answer:

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.

Determine the percent water in MgSO4*7H20?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$\% H_2O=51.2\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the percent water is computed by dividing the amount of water by the total mass of the hydrate; we infer we first need the molar mass of water and that of the hydrate as shown below:

$MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}=120.36 g/mol+7*18.02g/mol\\\\MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}=246.5g/mol$

Thus, the percent water is:

$\% H_2O=\frac{7*MM_{H_2O}}{MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}} *100\%\\\\$

So we plug in to obtain:

$\% H_2O=\frac{7*18.02}{246.5} *100\%\\\\\% H_2O=51.2\%$

Best regards!

Sixty liters of a gas were collected over water when the barometer read 663 mmhg , and the temperature was 20∘c. what volume wou

lesya [120]

First, let's compute the number of moles in the system assuming ideal gas behavior.

PV = nRT
(663 mmHg)(1atm/760 mmHg)(60 L) = n(0.0821 L-atm/mol-K)(20+273 K)
Solving for n,
n = 2.176 moles

At standard conditions, the standard molar volume is 22.4 L/mol. Thus,

Standard volume = 22.4 L/mol * 2.176 mol =<em> 48.74 L</em>

Adding heat to water results in a relatively small temperature change because

V125BC [204]

Answer: Because water has a high specific heat capacity due to the hydrogen bonding within the H₂O molecules ; so it takes a great deal of energy, or heat, to break these bonds— or to form them.
