Explanation:

As it is known that volume of an irregular object cannot be measured because we cannot measure the volume of a curve.

As a result, if we immerse an irregular solid object into a beaker or container filled with water then the volume of water displaced by the object will be equal to the volume of object itself.

Hence, we get to know the volume of irregular solid object by doing so that is why, water displacement is an effective way of measuring the volume of an irregular solid.

Water displamement is effective because there is no way to get an exact and accurate measurement of an irregular solid because you can't measure curved line. Water displamement gives you a proper, exact, and accurate answer.

One of the few xenon compounds that form is cesium xenon heptafluoride (CsXeF7). How many moles of CsXeF7 can be produced from t

larisa [96]

The balanced chemical equation is written as:

CsF(s) + XeF6(s) ------> CsXeF7(s)

We are given the amount of cesium fluoride and xenon hexafluoride used for the reaction. We need to determine first the limiting reactant to proceed with the calculation. From the equation and the amounts, we can say that the limiting reactant would be cesium fluoride. We calculate as follows:

11.0 mol CsF ( 1 mol CsXeF7 / 1 mol CsF ) = 11.0 mol CsXeF7

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 1000.0 mg of AgNO3 that has been dissolved in 500 mL of water

Vaselesa [24]

0.012moldm⁻³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of AgNO₃ = 1000mg

Volume of water = 500mL

Unknown:

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of a solute dissolved in volume of solvent.

Molarity = $\frac{xnumber of moles}{Volume}$

Number of moles of AgNO₃ = ?

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of AgNO₃ = 108 + 14 + 3(16) = 170g/mol

convert mass to g;

1000mg = 1g

Number of moles = $\frac{1}{170}$ = 0.00588moles

convert the given volume to dm³;

1000mL = 1dm³;

500mL = 0.5dm³

Now solve;

Molarity = $\frac{0.00588}{0.5}$ = 0.012moldm⁻³

What does it mean if a solid is malleable?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The answer to this question will be the third option "It is bendable." Malleable means to be able to change the shape of a object without damaging or breaking it. In this case a malleable solid would be for example drainage pipes. These pipes have curves and different shapes but still remain its product of a metal.

Hope this helps!

Can somebody plz help answer these questions plz (grwde7science) only if u know how to do it thx :3

1. Crystallization. Magma cools either underground or on the surface and hardens into an igneous rock.
2. weathering and erosion
3. This happens due to geologic uplift and the erosion of the rock and soil above them. At the surface, metamorphic rocks will be exposed to weathering processes and may break down into sediment.
4. Rock Melting.
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. If you need more help https://www.ck12.org/earth-science/rock-cycle-processes/lesson/Rocks-and-Processes-of-the-Rock-Cycle-HS-ES/
