Why does ice float after it crystallizes? Its mass is greater than water. Its density is greater than water. Its density is less

than water. Air trapped in ice causes it to float.

Ice floats after it crystallizes because ITS DENSITY IS LESS THAN THAT OF WATER.

When a quantity of water is cools down by reducing its temperature, the molecules of the water lose kinetic energy and slow down in their movement. As the water is cooling down, it is volume is expanding. When the temperature reaches zero degree Celsius, the water becomes ice. At this point, the ice can float on water because its density is less than that of water; this is as a result of the spaces that now exist in the ice structure.

A sample of gas is held at constant pressure. Increasing the Kelvin temperature of this gas sample causes the average kinetic en
garik1379 [7]
Increasing the temperature of a gas sample means that heat energy is been supplied to the System. When energy is been supplied heat energy is transformed into kinetic energy of the gas molecules.
Therefore kelvin temperature increases means more energy given to the system therefore average kinetic energy of molecules increase.
When the kinetic energy of molecules increase they move about more and take up more space. Hence volume too increases.
Therefore the correct answer is
4) average kinetic energy of molecules increase and volume of the gas sample increases

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

2Mg + O2 = 2MgO

Explanation:

Al + 3F2 = AlF3 ..... F has 6 on the left and 3 on the right.

Na + F2 = 2NaF ..... Na has 1 on the left and 2 on the right.

2Al + 3O2 = Al2O3 .... O has 6 on the left and 3 on right.
