Seismologists study earthquakes by going out and looking at the damage caused by the earthquakes and by using seismographs. A seismograph is an instrument that records the shaking of the earth's surface caused by seismic waves.

german

Halogens are elements that can be found in group 7 of the periodic table. They have 7 electrons in their outer shell and thus can form only a single covalent bond with other elements. Examples of halogens include chlorine, bromine and fluorine. A carbon compound that is covalently bonded with chlorine or bromine is called a halocarbon.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

$K_{p}=4.35\times 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

We know, $K_{p}=K_{c}(RT)^{\Delta n}$

where, R = 0.0821 L.atm/(mol.K), T is temperature in kelvin and $\Delta n$ is difference in sum of stoichiometric coefficient of products and reactants

Here $\Delta n=(2)-(2+1)=-1$ and T = 311 K

So, $K_{p}=(0.0111)\times [(0.0821L.atm.mol^{-1}.K^{-1})\times 311K]^{-1}=4.35\times 10^{-4}$

Hence value of equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure $(K_{p})$ is $4.35\times 10^{-4}$

12. A beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. Will it float in water,

Greeley [361]

Taking into account the definition of density and Archimedes' principle, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

But first it is neccesary to know that density is a quantity referred to the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance or a solid object.

In other words, the density is the relationship between the weight (mass) of a substance and the volume that the same substance occupies.

The expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

In this case, a beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. This is:

mass= 4.9 kg= 4900 g (being 1 kg= 1000 kg)
volume= 5.4 L= 5400 mL (being 1L=1000 mL)

Replacing in the definition of density:

$density=\frac{4900 g}{5400 mL}$

Solving:

density=0.907 $\frac{g}{mL}$

On the other hand, Archimedes' principle says that an object immersed in a liquid experiences an upward vertical force equal to the weight of the volume of the dislodged liquid.

The sinking or floating of an object is determined by its density with respect to that of the liquid in which it is submerged.

Considering water as the liquid where the object is submerged in this case, an object with a higher density than water will sink. In contrast, an object with a lower density than water will float.

In this case, considering that water has a density of 1 $\frac{g}{mL}$ , the bowling ball for beginners has a lower density. This indicates that, having a lower density than water, the object will float.

In summary, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.
