Water is denser than oil. When frozen, the oil sinks to the bottom. Why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sammy [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: When water freezes it gets larger and becomes a solid but it still weighs the same as when it was a liquid form. When it becomes larger it takes up space but makes it less dense. Ok so getting to the point- oil unlike water becomes more dense when frozen so this is why oil sinks in water. Sorry if this was confusing but I hope it helped have a great day and god bless you :3

What is the difference between the spectrum of hydrogen and the spectrum of sunlight
g100num [7]

Answer:

The hydrogen spectrum is an important piece of evidence to show the quantized electronic structure of an atom. ... It results in the emission of electromagnetic radiation initiated by the energetically excited hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen emission spectrum comprises radiation of discrete frequencies.

The spectrum starts with red light, with a wavelength of 700 nanometers (7,000 angstroms), at the top. ... It spans the range of visible light colours, including orange and yellow and green, and ends at the bottom with blue and violet colours with a wavelength of 400 nm (4,000 angstroms).

Explanation:

Hydrogen molecules are first broken up into hydrogen atoms (hence the atomic hydrogen emission spectrum) and electrons are then promoted into higher energy levels. Suppose a particular electron is excited into the third energy level. It would tend to lose energy again by falling back down to a lower level.

The spectrum of the Sun appears as a continuous spectrum and is frequently represented as shown below. This type of spectrum is called an emission spectrum because what you are seeing is the direct radiation emitted by the source.

Which of the following techniques is most appropriate for the recovery of solid KNO3 from an aqueous solution of KNO3?A. Paper c
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

E. Evaporation to dryness

Explanation:

E. - Evaporation to dryness is the best method for the recovery of solid KNO3 from an aqueous solution of KNO3.

(KNO3 is very soluble, and will violently decompose if overheated.)

Paper chromatography is for separation of different weight molecules in solution.

B. Filtration  won't work on a solution

C.Titration would contaminate the salt with something else and is used  

to determine concentrations

D. Electrolysis would destroy the salt

(a) what product or products would you expect to obtain by the addition of bromine to cis-cinnamic acid, assuming that it reacts
Free_Kalibri [48]

If the totaling of bromine to cis-cinnamic acid uses the same mechanism or device as the addition to trans-cinnamic acid, addition of bromine only transpires on the top (syn) and not the bottommost face (anti). Therefore, bromine added to cis-cinnamic only adds to the same face (syn addition) as a result producing only threo dibromides.

Please help me answer this I will be very grateful if so :)

The molecules in system #2 have a higher kinetic energy because they are at a higher temperature than molecules in system#1.

<h3>Heating of water molecules</h3>

Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body. The higher the temperature of a body, the higher the kinetic energy of the molecules of the body.

In both systems, we have water molecules that have the same formula H2O. However, the molecules in system #2 have a higher kinetic energy because they are at a higher temperature than molecules in system#1.
