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

1 answer:

5 0

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.

Harman [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{10 L}}$

Explanation:

We have two pressures, two temperatures, and one volume.

This looks like a question in which we can use the Combined Gas Law to calculate the volume.

$\dfrac{p_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2}}$

Data:

$\begin{array}{rclrclrcl}p_{1}& =& \text{2 atm}\qquad & V_{1} &= & \text{10 L}\qquad & T_{2}& =& \text{400 K}\\p_{2}& =& \text{4 atm}\qquad & V_{2} &= & \text{?}\qquad & T_{2}& =& \text{800 K}\\\end{array}$

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{2 \times 10}{400}& =& \dfrac{4V_{2} }{800}\\\\0.050& = &0.0050V_{2}\\V_{2}& = &\mathbf{10 L}\end{array}\\\text{The final volume is }\boxed{\textbf{10 L}}$

Hydrogen iodide decomposes slowly to H2 and I2 at 600 K. The reaction is second order in HI, and the rate constant is 9.7×10−6M−

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer : The molarity after a reaction time of 5.00 days is, 0.109 M

Explanation :

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

$k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)$

where,

k = rate constant = $9.7\times 10^{-6}M^{-1}s^{-1}$

t = time taken = 5.00 days

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = ?

$[A]_o$ = Initial concentration = 0.110 M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

$9.7\times 10^{-6}=\frac{1}{5.00}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{(0.110)}\right)$

$[A]=0.109M$

Hence, the molarity after a reaction time of 5.00 days is, 0.109 M

What is determined by calculating the slope of the position versus time graph distance

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Determining the Slope on a p-t Graph. It was learned earlier in Lesson 3 that the slope of the line on a position versus time graph is equal to the velocity of the object. ... If the object has a velocity of 0 m/s, then the slope of the line will be 0 m/s. The slope of the line on a position versus time graph tells it all.

Why do atomic model has changed over time

Elenna [48]

The model of the atom has dramatically changed over many many years.We learned atoms make up different substances and are the smallest particles of matter, which have subatomic particles that are very small portions of matter. At first scientist only thought there were electrons which are negatively charged.
