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.

Convert 1.25 atm to bar.
Tasya [4]

Answer: 1.27 bar

Explanation:

1 atm = 1.01325 bar

1.25 atm = Z (let Z be the unknown value)

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 1 atm = 1.25 atm x 1.01325 bar

1 atm•Z = 1.2665625 atm•bar

To get the value of Z, divide both sides by 1 atm

1 atm•Z/1 atm = 1.2665625 atm•bar/1atm

Z = 1.2665625 bar

(Round up Z to the nearest hundredth as 1.27 bar)

Thus, 1.25 atm when coverted gives 1.27 bar

Which of the following shows a valid combustion reaction?
marta [7]

Answer:   C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

2Al + 2O2 → 2AlO + O2            Not Balanced Properly:  2Al + O2 = 2AlO  

C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O  Looks Good

2CH4 + O2 → 2CO + 4H2          Not Correct:  CO should be CO2

Ca + O2 → CaOH                        Not Balanced and No source for the H

<span>6.50x10^3 calories. Now we have 4 pieces of data and want a single result. The data is: Mass: 100.0 g Starting temperature: 25.0°C Ending temperature: 31.5°C Specific heat: 1.00 cal/(g*°C) And we want a result with the unit "cal". Now you need to figure out what set of math operations will give you the desired result. Turns out this is quite simple. First, you need to remember that you can only add or subtract things that have the same units. You may multiply or divide data items with different units and the units can combine or cancel each other. So let's solve this: Let's start with specific heat with the unit "cal/(g*°C)". The cal is what we want, but we'ld like to get rid of the "/(g*°C)" part. So let's multiply by the mass: 1.00 cal/(g*°C) * 100.0 g = 100.0 cal/°C We now have a simpler unit of "cal/°C", so we're getting closer. Just need to cancel out the "/°C" part, which we can do with a multiplication. But we have 2 pieces of data using "°C". We can't multiply both of them, that would give us "cal*°C" which we don't want. But we need to use both pieces. And since we're interested in the temperature change, let's subtract them. So 31.5°C - 25.0°C = 6.5°C So we have a 6.5°C change in temperature. Now let's multiply: 6.5°C * 100.0 cal/°C = 6500.0 cal Since we only have 3 significant digits in our least precise piece of data, we need to round the result to 3 significant figures. 6500 only has 2 significant digits, and 6500. has 4. But we can use scientific notation to express the result as 6.50x10^3 which has the desired 3 digits of significance. So the result is 6.50x10^3 calories. Just remember to pay attention to the units in the data you have. They will pretty much tell you exactly what to add, subtract, multiply, or divide.</span>
