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.

Its density is less than water

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.

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:

        ^{235}_{72}U +^{1}_{0}n                       ⇒        ^{140}_{56}Ba+^{93}_{36}Kr+3^{1}_{0}n+energy

total mass equals 236.053 u              total mass equals 235.868 u

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Answer: From Einstein’s equation  E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.

The law of conservation of energy  holds for this type of reaction (i.e  the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.

From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u

What indicators of a chemical reaction occurred in the following equation?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

1) evolution of gas

2) evolution of heat

Explanation:

In this reaction, glucose is broken down into its constituents; carbon dioxide and water. The question is to decipher indicators of a chemical reaction from the equation.

If we look at the equation carefully, we will notice that a gas was evolved (CO2). The evolution of a gas indicates that a chemical reaction must have taken place. Secondly, energy is given off as heat. This is another indication that a chemical reaction has taken place.

Draw the structure(s) of all of the possible monochloro derivatives of 2,4-dimethylpentane, c7h15cl.
pishuonlain [190]

The monochloroderivatives will be obtained by substituting chemically non equivalent hydrogen with chlorine atom, one by one

So the possible monochloro derivatives of 2,4-dimethylpentane (figure 1) are shown in figure (2)

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.
