If density usually increases with decreasing temperature, why does ice float on liquid water? Explain.

Chemistry

zepelin [54]3 years ago

Answer:

If you continue to cool water past 4 degrees Celsius, its density starts to plummet (you can see this in the graph). At zero degrees, i.e., the temperature at which water turns into ice, the density of water is actually quite low. It turns out that ice has a lower density than water, and any object that has a lower density than the liquid form on which it’s kept (in this case, water) will be able to float!

Explain why lattice energy is the key to the formation of a salt

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.


Lattice energy is the key to the formation of a salt because without that energy it wouldn't form, it makes the overall process spontaneous

Balance the combustion eqation; __C5H + __O2 ---> __CO2+__H2O
stira [4]
This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.

C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.

I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.

Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

First you need to  balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O

Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:

=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.

You can verify that the equation is balanced

How many days does it take 16.Og of Gold-198 to decay to 1.0g? (each half-
forsale [732]

Answer:

10.8 days (3 sig.figs.)

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order decay defined by the expression A = A₀e^-kt

which is solved for time of decay (t) => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

A = final weight = 1.0 gram

A₀ = initial weight = 16.0 grams

k = rate constant = 0.693/t(1/2) = 0.693/2.69 days = 0.258 days⁻¹

t = ln(1/16) / -0.258da⁻¹ = (-2.77/-0.258) days = 10.74646792 days (calculator)

≅ 10 days (1 sig. fig. based on given 1 gram mass)

The sample of 15.0 g of KCl is dissolved into a solution with a total volume of 250.0 mL. What is the molarity of KCl in the sol
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.805 M.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of a solution is computing by dividing the moles of solute over the volume of solution in liters (M=n/V), for 15.0 g of potassium chloride (74.55 g/mol) we compute the corresponding moles:

n=15.0gKCl*\frac{1molKCl}{74.55gKCl}=0.201molKCl

Next, since the volume is 0.2500 in liters, the molarity turns out:

M=\frac{0.201mol}{0.2500L} \\\\M=0.805M

Best regards!
