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.

Calculate the enthalpy of the reaction
harkovskaia [24]

Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction is, -2552 kJ/mole

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given enthalpy of reaction is,

4B(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2B_2O_3(s)    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reactions are:

(1) B_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(g)\rightarrow 3O_2(g)+B_2H_6(g)     \Delta H_A=+2035kJ

(2) 2B(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow B_2H_6(g)    \Delta H_B=+36kJ

(3) H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)    \Delta H_C=-285kJ

(4) H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g)    \Delta H_D=+44kJ

Now we have to revere the reactions 1 and multiple by 2, revere the reactions 3, 4 and multiple by 2 and multiply the reaction 2 by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(when we are reversing the reaction then the sign of the enthalpy change will be change.)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction will be,

\Delta H=-2\times \Delta H_A+2\times \Delta H_B-6\times \Delta H_C-6\times \Delta H_D

\Delta H=-2(+2035kJ)+2(+36kJ)-6(-285kJ)-6(+44)

\Delta H=-2552kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy of the reaction is, -2552 kJ/mole

a liquid that boils at a low temperature and evaporates rapidly at room temperature is describe as being
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: Volatile

Explanation:

like ethanol(alcohol) it evaporates when you put it in the hand, really fast.

Some people think that it dries when it really evaporated at room temperature from liquid to gas

Calculate the Density of the substances below to determine if they will float or sink in water.
Reil [10]

Explanation:

If the density of the object is more than that of water, it will sink. Otherwise it will float. The density of water is 1 g/mL.

Substance 1,

Mass, m = 450 g, Volume, V = 90 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

d_1=\dfrac{450}{90}\\\\=5\ g/mL

It will sink.

Substance 2,

Mass, m = 35 g, Volume, V = 70 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

d_2=\dfrac{35}{70}\\\\=0.5\ g/mL

It will float.

Substance 3,

Mass, m = 24 g, Volume, V = 12 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

d_3=\dfrac{24}{12}\\\\=2\ g/mL

It will sink.

What is an hydroxide solution commonly used in labs​
Ira Lisetskai [31]

sodium hydroxide (NAOH) a.k.a causic soda commonly used in labs​.

  • MOLAR MASS of naoh is 39.997 g/mol.
  • It is dry hard brittle, white stocks in large fused opaque white-stone like masses having a dense crystalline fracture in small pellets/flakes.
  • it is very delinquent  and one of the strongest base , acts as a saponifying agent which is used in industrial purposes.
  • It is an important industrial chemical as it is used on its own and is also used as a raw material in the production of other chemicals. The basis for the production of sodium hydroxide is the electrolysis of brine.
