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

Particle size directly affects which of the following spil properties?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The size of soil particles is important. The amount of open space between the particles influences how easily water moves through a soil and how much water the soil will hold. Too much clay, in proportion to silt and sand, causes a soil to take in water very slowly. Such a soil gives up its water to plants slowly.

Which of the following actions would cause the volume of the chamber below to increase to 36.0 L?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option C. Triple the number of moles

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Where:

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of mole

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature.

Making V the subject of the above equation, we have:

PV = nRT

Divide both side by P

V = nRT / P

Thus, we can say that the volume (V) is directly proportional to both the number of mole (n) and absolute temperature (T) and inversely proportional to the pressure (P). This implies that and increase in either the number of mole, the absolute temperature and a decrease in the presence will cause the volume to increase.

Thus, the correct option is option C triple the number of moles. This can further be seen as illustrated below:

Initial volume (V1) = 12 L

Initial mole (n1) = 0.5 mole

Final mole (n2) = triple the initial mole = 3 × 0.5 = 1.5 mole

Final volume (V2) =?

From:

V = nRT / P, keeping T and P constant, we have:

V1/n1 = V2/n2

12/0.5 = V2/1.5

24 = V2/1.5

Cross multiply

V2 = 24 × 1.5

V2 = 36 L.

Thus Option C gives the correct answer to the question.

Two of the substances in part 1 are ionic. which factors will result in a stronger ionic bond overall?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Greater absolute charge 
- This is because ionic bond results from stronger electrostatic forces of attraction.
- The higher the value of charges q₁ and q₂ the stronger will be the ionic bond.
