Answer is: density doesn't affect on weigh.
Density <span>of a substance is its </span>mass<span> per unit </span>volume, <span>density is defined as mass divided by volume (d = m/V).
</span>Weight is force<span> on the object due to </span>gravity. Weight is <span>product of the </span>mass<span> of substance and the magnitude of the local </span>gravitational acceleration (<span>W = <span>mg). Feather can have larger mass and also weight.</span></span>

<span>How iron can be more dense as a feather yet more feathers can weigh more is because density and weight are two completely different things. No matter how many feathers there are it's density never changes, it's weight is able to change but not density. Therefore the density of iron is higher no matter what but may weigh less than a group of feathers.</span>

Methane gas is produced from the reaction of solid carbon and hydrogen gas: C(s)+2H2(g)→CH4(g) . How many liters of hydrogen gas
Stels [109]

Answer:

80 liters

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mole of ideal gas has a volume of 22.4 liters.

Therefore, since liters and moles are directly proportional, we can use stoichiometry directly.

40L CH₄ × (2L H₂ / 1L CH₄) = 80L H₂

How to prepare 250.00 ml of approximately 1.0 m hcl solution from the 2.5 m hcl solutio?
kirill115 [55]

To solve this we use the equation, 

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.

2.5 M x V1 = 1.0 M x .250 L

<span>V1 = 0.10 L or 100 mL of the 2.5 M HCl solution is needed

Hope this helps.</span>

The ion with 36 electrons, 34 protons, and 44 neutrons
Reil [10]
While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall
2
−
charge.
We represent this selenide ion as
S
e
2
−
