The block will sink

Explanation:

In general, an object with a higher density than water will sink in it, and one with a lower density will float. Now, to know if the block will float or sink, the first step is to calculate the density of the block, and to do this, the volume and mass of the block are required.

Mass of the block: 30 grames

Volume of the block:

The volume of the block is not provided, but this can be found using the dimensions given.

V (Volume) = s (side) x s x s

V = 1.5 cm x 4.8 cm x 2.3 cm

V = 16.56 $cm^{3}$

Density of the block:

To find the density simply divide the mass into the volume

D (density) = M (Mass) ÷ V (Volume)

D = 30 grams ÷ 16.56 $cm^{3}$

D = 1. 811 grams/ $cm^{3}$

The density of the block is 1. 811 grams/ $cm^{3}$

Additionally, the density of the water is 1 gram/ $cm^{3}$ or 1 gram/mL. According to this, the density of the block is higher than the density of the water, and therefore this is the block sinks.

How many kilojoules of heat are released when 32.0 g of NaOH are dissolved in water? (The molar heat of solution of NaOH is –445

Katen [24]

The energy release when dissolving 1 mol of NaOH in water is 445.1 kJ
the mass of NaOH to be dissolved is 32.0 g
The number of NaOH moles in 32.0 g - 32.0 g / 40 g/mol = 0.8 mol
the energy released whilst dissolving 1 mol of NaOH - 445.1 kJ
when dissolving 0.8 mol - the energy released is 445.1 kJ/mol x 0.8 mol
therefore heat released is - 356.08 kJ
answer is -356.08 kJ

A graduated cylinder is filled 25.0 mL with water and a piece of granite is placed in the cylinder, displacing the level to 37.2

kvv77 [185]

The volume of the granite piece in Cm³ is 12.2 cm³

calculation

volume of granite = (volume of cylinder after placing granite - volume of cylinder before placing granite

= 37.2 ml - 25.0 ml = 12.2 ml

convert ml to Cm³

that is 1 ml = 1 cm³

12.2 ml = ? cm³

by cross multiplication

=(12.2 ml x 1 cm³) / 1 ml = 12.2 cm³

Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfe

Vesna [10]

Answer:

In the given chemical reaction:

Species Oxidized: I⁻

Species Reduced: Fe³⁺

Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺

Reducing agent: I⁻

As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.

The chemical species that gets reduced by gaining electrons is called an oxidizing agent. Whereas, the chemical species that gets oxidized by losing electrons is called a reducing agent.

Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂

Oxidation half-reaction: 2 I⁻ + → I₂ + 2 e⁻ ....(1)

Reduction half-reaction: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2

⇒ 2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ ....(2)

In the given redox reaction, Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).

Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.
