The answer is A because the boat is being spread out which increases the total amount of space, or volume. The density is decreasing because the same amount of clay is being spread out over a wider surface. (Density is mass/volume and the mass is still the same but the volume has become smaller so that means that the density is also smaller)

Increased surface area so it was easier to float

Suppose an alkane had 8 carbon atoms. How many hydrogen atoms would it have? a. 18 atoms c. 10 atoms b. 16 atoms d. 12 atoms
Delvig [45]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. <em>18 hydrogen atoms </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Alkanes are group of hydrocarbon that are saturated</u></em>. They are saturated in the sense that each carbon atom has maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
  • <em><u>The homologous series of alkanes has a general formula of CₓH₂ₓ₊₂.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u><em> an alkane with 8 carbons will have; (2×8) +2 = 18 hydrogen atoms. </em></u>Thus, the formula of the hyrocarbon will be; C₈H₁₈.

The use of cooking method that eliminate contact with water such as freezing, keeping in a close container will help retain the vitamins, reduce degradation rate and prevent it form been lost.

Cutting will allow easy definition of vitamins and result in its lost.
