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.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

136

Explanation:

The Mass Number is the combination of the amount of Protons and Neutrons in an element, so if the total mass is 222, and the amount of protons is 86, then you can do 86 + x = 222 to find that x is equal to 136

Calculate the energy required to heat 406.0mg of cyclohexane from 33.5°C to 38.9°C . Assume the specific heat capacity of cycloh
N76 [4]

Answer:

Q = 4.056 J

Explanation:

  • Q = m<em>C</em>ΔT

∴ m = 406.0 mg = 0.406 g

∴ <em>C </em>= 1.85 J/g.K

∴ T1 = 33.5°C ≅ 306.5 K

∴ T2 = 38.9°C = 311.9 K

⇒ ΔT = 311.9 - 306.5 = 5.4 K

⇒ Q = (0.406 g)(1.85 J/gK)(5.4 K)

⇒ Q = 4.056 J

When performing your experiment, you add your first drop of oleic acid/benzene solution, and a lens forms immediately. what is w
trasher [3.6K]

What's wrong with this setup is the substrate on which you have positioned the drop is "dirty and unclean" meaning it is not being dampened by the solution. This action can be corrected by comprehensively cleaning the substrate where the drop will be positioned.
