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.

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
DedPeter [7]

Answer: X is a Solid; Y is a Gas

Explanation:

There are three (3) states of matter. They are: Solid, Liquid and Gases.

Substance X and Y, belong to the states of matter.

A Solid is a substance that retains its SIZE and SHAPE without need of a container (as opposed to a liquid or gas).

Thus, it will most likely be concluded that: substance X is a Solid; while Y is a Gas

Use this chemical equation to answer the following questions: Cl + O3 ➞ ClO + O2
barxatty [35]

Explanation:

1. Elements are substances made of the same kind of atoms, unlike compounds that are combination for different kinds of atoms. The elements in the reaction therefore are;

Cl and O₃

2. Yes, the equation is balanced. There is the same number of each element on either side of the equation. One (1) CL and three (3) O atoms.

3. Ozone is reduced. Other the other hand, Cl is oxidized. Remember a reduction reaction may involve the loss of one or more oxygen atoms or the acceptance of electrons. This occurs for O₃ which is reduced to O₂.

4. The equation complies with the conservation of matter as in the first law of thermodynamics. The number of atoms for each element on the other side of the equation remains the same. This means no matter(which also translated to energy) has been created or destroyed in the process.
