Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. One consequence of this is that lakes and rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing fish to survive even when the surface of a lake has frozen over

Explain why the 4s sublevel fills before the 3d begins to fill as electrons are added.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: The energy of the 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell.

Explanation:

During the filling of electrons in subshells, the lower energy levels are filled before the higher energy levels. Also known as Aufbau principle.

Energy of the sublevel = (n + l)

where : n = Principal quantum number

             l = Azimuthal quantum number(s=0,p=1,d=2,f=3)

Energy of 4-s subshell= (4+0) = 4

Energy of 3-d subshell=(3+2) = 5

Energy of 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell, that is why 4s orbital is filled before the 3-d subshell.

At 1 atm, how much energy is required to heat 75.0 g H 2 O ( s ) at − 20.0 ∘ C to H 2 O ( g ) at 119.0 ∘ C?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

238,485 Joules

Explanation:

The amount of energy required is a summation of heat of fusion, capacity and vaporization.

Q = mLf + mC∆T + mLv = m(Lf + C∆T + Lv)

m (mass of water) = 75 g

Lf (specific latent heat of fusion of water) = 336 J/g

C (specific heat capacity of water) = 4.2 J/g°C

∆T = T2 - T1 = 119 - (-20) = 119+20 = 139°C

Lv (specific latent heat of vaporization of water) = 2,260 J/g

Q = 75(336 + 4.2×139 + 2260) = 75(336 + 583.8 + 2260) = 75(3179.8) = 238,485 J

1. In which of these forms does acid precipitation reach the surface of<br><br> Earth?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Wet deposition

Explanation:

when the chemicals produced in the Earth can evaporate and reach the clouds, it will mixed with the water inside the clouds and form a slightly acid water than when is time to deposit the water into the Earth as snow, rain, fog or mist, the chemicals will travel with the water dissolved in it.

When they reach the soil, eventually, the water will  evaporate or will be absorbed by soil, so the chemicals that are left behind, will reach the surface of Earth.

Depending where the chemicals were deposit, they can contaminate the sea, or other water bodies, or soil areas of crops, buildings, etc.

Hope this info is useful.

An object has a mass of 6.8 g and volume of 34 mL. What is the density of the object?​
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

<h2>Density = 0.2 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3>Density =  \frac{mass}{volume}</h3>

From the question the points are

mass = 6.8 g

volume = 34 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's

<h3>Density =  \frac{6.8}{34}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>Density = 0.2 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
