Answer:

B 1.23 g/cc

Explanation:
For something to float on seawater, the density must be less than 1.03 g/mL. If the object sinks, the density is greater than 1.03 g/mL.

Let’s examine the answer choices. Keep in mind, the ice berg is mostly below the water level.

A. 0.88 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would result in floating.

B. 1.23 g/cc
This is the best answer choice. The iceberg is mostly beneath the water, but some of it is exposed. The density is greater than 1.03 g/mL, but not so much greater that it would immediately sink.

C. 0.23 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would produce floating.

D. 4.14 g/cc
This is much greater than 1.03 g/cc and the result would be sinking.

In each case, calculate the appropriate ratio to show that the information given is consistent with the law of multiple proporti

Alchen [17]

Answer:

(a) 3:2; (b) 2:1

Explanation:

The Law of Multiple Proportions states that when two elements A and B combine to form two or more compounds, the masses of B that combine with a given mass of A are in the ratios of small whole numbers.

That is, if one compound has a ratio r₁ and the other has a ratio r₂, the ratio of the ratios r is in small whole numbers.

(a) Ammonia and hydrazine.

In ammonia, the mass ratio of H:N is r₁ = 0.2158/1

In hydrazine, the mass ratio of H:N is r₂ = 0.1439/1

The ratio of the ratios is:

$r = \dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \dfrac{ 0.2158}{0.1439} = \dfrac{1.500 }{1} = \dfrac{2.999}{2} \approx \mathbf{\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\\text{The relative amounts of H in the two compounds are in the ratio }\boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{3}{2}}}$

(b) Nitrogen oxides

In nitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₁ = 1.142/1

In dinitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₂ = 0.571/1

The ratio of the ratios is:

$r = \dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \dfrac{ 1.142}{0.571} = \dfrac{2.000 }{1} \approx \mathbf{\dfrac{2}{1}}\\\\\text{The relative amounts of O in the two compounds are in the ratio }\boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{2}{1}}}$
