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

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The swirling yellow solid formed is lead iodide (PbI₂).

Explanation:

  • The reaction of potassium iodide (KI) with lead nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) will produce lead iodide (PbI₂) and potassium nitrate (KNO₃) according to the equation:

2KI + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbI₂↓ + 2KNO₃

  • Lead iodide (PbI₂) is a yellow swirling precipitate that is formed from the reaction.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 29.44\% calcium, 23.55% sulfur, and 47.01% oxygen? This compound is a commo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CaSO₄.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of calcium =29.44%

Percentage of sulfur = 23.55%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.01%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Ca = 29.44 / 40 = 0.74

Number of gram atoms of S = 23.55 / 32 = 0.74

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.01 / 16 = 3

Atomic ratio:

            Ca                      :        S                :         O

           0.74/0.74           :     0.74/0.74      :       3/0.74

               1                     :          1              :          4

Ca : S : O = 1 : 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CaSO₄.
