A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density less than that of the liquid. Given that the dens

ity of water is approximately 1.0 g/mL, will a block of material having a volume of 1.2 x 10^4 in^3 and weighing 350 lb float or sink when placed in a reservoir of water? [I just don't want the answer, I'd like to know how to solve this, please.]

Given:
density of water is <span>approximately 1.0 g/mL
block of material
</span><span>volume of 1.2 x 10^4 in^3
and weighing 350 lb
</span>
Required:
Which will float

Solution:
D = M/V where D is density, M is mass and V is volume

convert <span>1.2 x 10^4 in^3 into mL
</span><span>1.2 x 10^4 in^3 (16.39 mL/ 1 in3) = 196,980 mL
</span>
convert <span>350 lb into grams
350 lb (454 grams/1 lb) = 158,900 grams

D = M/V = </span>158,900 grams/ <span>196,980 mL
D = 0.807 g/mL

The block will float in water because it is less dense than water</span>

The shape of the sulfur dioxide molecule, where sulfur is the central atom is
fgiga [73]

Answer:

bent

Explanation:

The molecular formula of sulfur dioxide is written as SO₂

The molecular geometry of sulfur dioxide can be determined using the Lewis structure.

The Lewis structure shows the distribution of electrons around the atoms of a given compound such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂).

In this compound, sulfur is the central atom with 6 valence electrons.

The sulfur is bonded covalently with two oxygen atoms, each with 6 valence electrons. Oxygen contributes 2 lone pairs while sulfur which is the central atom contributes 1 lone pair of electrons in the bond.

The bond angle between the two oxygen atoms and the central sulfur atom is approximately 120⁰, as a result of the bent shape of the molecular structure.

Define the law conservation of mass​
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so the quantity can neither be added nor be removed.
