Why does an egg sink in fresh water but float in salt water??

Chemistry
1 answer:
maria [59]3 years ago

If an object is less dense than the water around it, it will float. Because salt water is denser than freshwater, some things float more easily in the ocean—or extremely salty bodies of the water, such as the Dead Sea. You can make your own dense water by adding salt to tap water.

When driving a truck,is fuel crucial?
Natali [406]

Answer:

The answer is yes.

Explanation:

When driving any type of motorized vehicle, fuel is importatn. Fuel is what it runs on, so without it it wouldn't run. With trucks a lot more is needed because trucks are bigger, and tend to carry more than a little car does.

pH of the buffer solution is 1.76.

Chemical dissociation of formic acid in the water:

HCOOH(aq) ⇄ HCOO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The solution of formic acid and formate ions is a buffer.

[HCOO⁻] = 0.015 M; equilibrium concentration of formate ions

[HCOOH] + [HCOO⁻] = 1.45 M; sum of concentration of formic acid and formate

[HCOOH] = 1.45 M - 0.015 M

[HCOOH] = 1.435 M; equilibrium concentration of formic acid

pKa = -logKa

pKa = -log 1.8×10⁻⁴ M

pKa = 3.74

Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = 3.74 + log (0.015 M/1.435 M)

pH = 3.74 - 1.98

pH = 1.76

Hello! I just need a little bit of help. I'm supposed to design an experiment on how reaction rates are determined and affected
alexandr1967 [171]
  1. Get 3 cups of water at the exact same temperature, using the thermometer to check.
  2. Label the cups as ‘whole’, ‘pieces’, and ‘crushed’
  3. Next, get something to dissolve, in this case, polident. Take one of the polident tablets and break it into 4 pieces, and set it aside.
  4. Take another polident tablet and this time put it into a different cup, and crush it. Set it aside.
  5. Keep the last tablet whole.
  6. Set up your stopwatch and drop the polident tablet that is whole in the cup labeled ‘whole’, starting the stopwatch at the same time.
  7. Watch the cup and see when the tablet is fully dissolved, then stop the stopwatch.
  8. Record the time in the table.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 for both the ‘pieces’ and ‘crushed’ tablets.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!

PLEASE! :( Two aqueous solutions of AgNO3 and NaCl are mixed. Which of the following diagrams best represents the mixture? For s
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

NaCl + Ag(NO₃) --> Na(NO₃) + AgCl

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaCl + Ag(NO₃) --> Na(NO₃) + AgCl

The given reaction represent the double displacement reaction. Anion and cation of both reactant exchange with each others.

The anion of sodium chloride(Cl⁻) combine with cation of silver nitrate Ag⁺ and  NO₃⁻ combine with Na⁺.

The third equation is correct while others are in correct.

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AC +BD
