Here are some densities computed by a student doing this laboratory experiment. Rock Water Wooden block 3.34 g/cm3 1.00 g/cm3 0.

495 g/cm3 The student noticed that the rock sank in water. After the experiment, she put the wooden block in the water and it floated. Use the densities above to explain why.

From the experiment it can be concluded that a material or object which has a density that is lesser than water floats. Also, the object that has a density greater than that of water will sink. This is because density is the measure of the amount of substance that is occupied by an object in a given volume.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass of the substance present in the unit volume of the substance.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

  • When a substance is immersed in the liquid with density greater than that of the substance. Then the substance will float on the liquid.
  • When a substance is immersed in the liquid with density lower than that of the substance. Then the substance will sink in the liquid

So, when the rock is immersed in the water the it sank because the density if the rock is greater than the density of water.

Where as wooden block float in the water because the density of the wooden block is less then the density of the water.

Which of the followings is true about G0'? A. G0' can be determined using Keq' B. G0' indicates if a reaction can occur under no
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A and D are true , while B and F statements are false.

Explanation:

A) True.  Since the standard gibbs free energy is

ΔG = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q

where Q= [P1]ᵃ.../([R1]ᵇ...) , representing the ratio of the product of concentration of chemical reaction products P and the product of concentration of chemical reaction reactants R

when the system reaches equilibrium ΔG=0 and Q=Keq

0 = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q → ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

therefore the first equation also can be expressed as

ΔG = RT*ln (Q/Keq)

thus the standard gibbs free energy can be determined using Keq

B) False. ΔG⁰ represents the change of free energy under standard conditions . Nevertheless , it will give us a clue about the ΔG around the standard conditions .For example if ΔG⁰>>0 then is likely that ΔG>0 ( from the first equation) if the temperature or concentration changes are not very distant from the standard conditions

C) False. From the equation presented

ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

ΔG⁰>0 if Keq<1 and ΔG⁰<0 if Keq>1

for example, for a reversible reaction  ΔG⁰ will be <0 for forward or reverse reaction and the ΔG⁰ will be >0 for the other one ( reverse or forward reaction)

D) True. Standard conditions refer to

T= 298 K

pH= 7

P= 1 atm

C= 1 M for all reactants

Water = 55.6 M
