As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Average = 63.6

Explanation:

Average : The average of the given set of points can be calculated by dividing sum of the total point to the number of points.

Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ points}{Number\  of\ points}

The points that are given in this equation are:

83.2 , 44.6 , 74.4 , 52.3 .

These are 4 in number . So average is

Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ points}{Number\  of\ points}

Average =\frac{83.2+44.6+74.4+52.3}{4}

Average =\frac{254.5}{4}

Average =63.625

Significant digits : It is the number of digits that carry meaningful value to a measurement. The rules for counting number of significant digits are:

1. all non-zero digit are significant

2.Any zero between two non-zero are also significant.(305 = 3 significant digit )

3. Zero before the decimal are non-significant (0.003 = only 1 significant digit)

Zero after decimal are significant (3.00 has 3 significant digit)

4.Zero after non - zero digit is non significant (300 has 1 significant digit).

Significant digits in division :

The answer should have the significant digits that are least in any of number(83.2 , 44.6 , 74.4 , 52.3 )

All have = 3 significant digits.

So least numner of significant digit =3

Answer should have total = 3 significant digits

So,

Average = 63.6

All rocks follow the same pathway though the rock cycle us a false statement. Why?
sammy [17]

False.

This is because there are three different rocks, metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous. Thus, meaning that there are three different pathways, making this statement false.

Hope this helps!

phosphorus-32 ahs a half-life of 14.0 days. Starting with 8.00 g of 32 P, how many grams will remain after 56.0 days
sertanlavr [38]
0.500 grams would be left after 56.0 days.

After 14 days=4.00 g
After 28 days=2.00 g
After 42 days=1.00 g
After 56 days=0.500 g

This is after four half lives.

A sample of substance X that has a mass of 326.0 g releases 4325.8 call when it freezes at its freezing point. If substance X ha
o-na [289]

Answer : The molar heat of fusion for substance X is, 775.6 cal/mol

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of substance X.

\text{Moles of substance X}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance X}}{\text{Molar mass of substance X}}

Given:

Molar mass of substance X = 58.45 g/mole

Mass of substance X = 326.0 g

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\text{Moles of substance X}=\frac{326.0g}{58.45g/mol}=5.577mol

Now we have to calculate the molar heat of fusion for substance X.

\Delta H=\frac{Q}{n}

where,

Q = heat releases = 4325.8 cal

\Delta H = molar heat of fusion for substance X = ?

n = moles = 5.577 mol

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\Delta H=\frac{4325.8cal}{5.577mol}=775.6cal/mol

Thus, the molar heat of fusion for substance X is, 775.6 cal/mol
