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

Chemistry
1 answer:
sammy [17]3 years ago

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

How does mass and volume affect sinking and floating? Please don't plagiarize.... ​
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

If you have 2.4L of SO2 gas (at STP) how many moles of sulfur dioxide do you have?
Andru [333]

Answer:

0.107 mole of SO2.

Explanation:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

With the above information, we can simply calculate the number of mole of SO2 that will occupy 2.4 L at STP.

This can be obtained as follow:

22.4 L contains 1 mole of SO2.

Therefore, 2.4 L will contain = 2.4/22.4 = 0.107 mole of SO2.

Therefore, 0.107 mole of SO2 is present in 2.4 L at STP.
