Answer: for an object or gas or liquid to float in another there must be a difference in density
Explanation:
Helium has a density of 0.18 kg/m³ and air has a density of 1.29 kg/m^³. If a balloon is filled with helium it will float in air due to density differences
Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces
The number of protons and the electron configuration of each
Second law is tennis
First law is golf
Third law is soccer
Answer:
The unknown element is Carbon.
(a) X is Carbon, its oxide is of acidic nature
(b) C+ O2 → CO2
Explanation:
We are given an unknown element that reacts with oxygen.
X + O2 → XO2
It is given that the oxide XO2 turns blue litmus red which is shown by acids, so XO2 is an acidic oxide. Also X will be a Non metal because Non metallic oxide is Acidic in nature.
The Oxide XO2 is dissolving is water. The oxide upon reacting with water will give an Acid.
XO2 type of oxide is found in the 14th group of the periodic table generally
So we have options like C, Si and Ge as these only have the Acidic oxide.
But when it comes to reactivity with water Only Carbon satisfies the need so the unknown element X is C.
CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 which is an acid.
(a) Element X is Carbon (C), The nature of the compound formed is Acidic.
(b) The reaction given will be as follows
C+ O2 → CO2
Therefore the unknown element is Carbon.
