Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that density is the amount of mass divided by volume.

When water is present in solid state that is, in the form of ice then its molecules arrange themselves in a rigid tetrahedral structure.

Due to this there will cage like spaces between the molecules of ice during the bonding. As a result, they occupy more volume and it is known that density is inversely proportional to volume.

Hence, ice has low density as compared to liquid state of water.

When water is present in liquid state, then its molecules are closer to each other and they are able to slide past each other. Hence, space between them is less therefore, lesser will be its volume.

As a result, liquid state of water will have more density.

Thus, we can conclude that water is different from other substances because it is less dense as a solid than liquid.

It's more dense as a liquid than as a solid. That's why ice can float in water. The answer is B.

Write half reactions and the overall reaction occurred during discharging of acid lead battery.

Gre4nikov [31]

When battery discharge / delivering current the lead at the anode is oxidized
that is ;
pb---->pb+ 2e-
since the lead ions are in presence of aquous sulfate in insoluble lead sulfate precipitate onto the electrode
the overall reaction at the anode is therefore
Pb + SO4^2- ---> PbSO4 + 2e-

Nickel + oxygen = nickel oxide. What is the balanced redox reaction?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

2 Ni0 - 4 e- → 2 NiII

(oxidation)

2 O0 + 4 e- → 2 O-II

(reduction)

Ni is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent.

What mass of hcl gas must be added to 1.00 l of a buffer solution that contains [aceticacid]=2.0m and [acetate]=1.0m in order to

Paraphin [41]

PH of acidic buffer = pKa + log [CH₃COONa - HCl] / [CH₃COOH + HCl]
pKa of CH₃COOH = 4.74
Concentration of acetic acid in buffer = 2.0 M
Concentration of sodium acetate = 1.0 M
Concentration of HCl must add = x
pH = 4.74 + log (1-x) / (2+x) = 4.11
x = concentration of HCl must be added = 0.43 M
number of moles of HCl = M * V = 0.43 * 1 = 0.43 mol
mass of HCl must be added = 0.43 * 36.5 = 15.7 g

The diagram shows an animal cell.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume your diagram is like the one below.

X represents a mitochondrion.

That's where the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle converts a single glucose molecule into six molecules of CO₂.

W is wrong. It represents a vacuole, which can store both nutrients and waste products for later elimination.

Y is wrong. It represents the nucleolus, which plays a critical role in the synthesis of ribosomes.

Z is wrong. It represents the cytoplasm, which is where cell processes like glycolysis and protein synthesis take place.
