Why does ice float on water?

Chemistry

Answer: because of lesser density than water.

Explanation:

The substances which have lesser density than water will float in water and the substances which have greater density than water will sink in water.

The density of water is liquid state is more than the density of water in solid state. Water has a property to expand when it freezes and it forms cage like structure in the solid state. This results in the increase of volume and a corresponding decrease in density.

Thus ice floats in water.

2C4 H10 + 13O2 -→ 8CO2 + 10H2O If 356 moles of O2 are available to react, how many moles of CO2 will fom?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Answer:

The mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ is 2 : 8, which  simplifies to 1 : 4.

Explanation:

The mole ratio is the relative proportion of the moles of products or reactants that participate in the reaction according to the chemical equation.

The chemical equation given is:

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Once you check that the equation is balanced, you can set the mole ratios for all the reactants and products. The coefficients used in front of each reactant and product, in the balanced chemical equation, tells the mole ratios.

In this case, they are: 2 mol C₄H₁₀ :  13 mol O₂ : 8 mol CO₂ : 10 mol H₂O

Since you are asked about the mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ it is:

2 mol C₄H₁₀ : 8 mol CO₂ , which dividing by 2, simplifies to

1 mol C₄H₁₀ : 4 mol CO₂, or

1 : 2.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  ΔH = -283 kJ/mol, first option

Explanation:

Reaction

                CO  +  O₂     ⇒     CO₂

ΔH = ∑H products - ∑H products

ΔH = -393.5 - (-110.5 + 0)

ΔH = -393.5 + 110.5

ΔH = -283 kJ/mol

A gas sample occupies 350.0 mL at 546 mm Hg. What volume does the gas occupy at 652 mm Hg?​
leva [86]

Answer:

293.1 mL.

Explanation:

  • Boyle's law states that: at a constant temperature the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
  • It can be expressed as: <em>P₁V₁ = P₂V₂,</em>

P₁ = 546.0 mm Hg, V₁ = 350.0 mL.

P₂ = 652.0 mm Hg, V₂ = ??? mL.

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁)/(P₂)</em> = (546.0 mm Hg)(350.0 mL) / (652.0 mm Hg) = <em>293.1 mL.</em>
