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>

So, a gas, and an
valina [46]

Answer:

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

Explanation:

The aim of the question is to select the right condition for that would increases the rate of the reaction.

a) use a large sized piece of the solid Cu

This option is wrong. Reducing the surface area decreases the reaction rate.

b) lower the initial temperature below 25 °C for the liquid reactant, HNO3

Hugher temperatures leads to faster reactions hence this option is wrong.

c) use a 0.5 M HNO3 instead of 2.0 M HNO3

Higher concentration leads to increased rate of reaction. Hence this option is wrong.

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

This leads to an increased surface area of the reactants, which leads to an increased rate of the reaction. This is the correct option.

Define shielding and effective nuclear charge. What is the connection between the two?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The relation between the shielding and effective nuclear charge is given as

Z_{eff} = Z -S

where s denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge

Z - atomic number

Explanation:

shielding is referred to as the repulsion of an outermost electron to the pull of electron from valence shell.  Higher the electron in valence shell higher will be the shielding effects.  

Effective nuclear charge is the amount of net positive charge that valence electron has.

The relation between the shielding and the effective nuclear charge is given as  

Z_{eff} = Z -S

wheres denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge  

Z - atomic number

What type of radioactivity occurs in nuclear reactor if a neutron and uranium are the typical reactants
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Fission. When a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and free neutrons.
