You can predict it by measuring the weight of the spherical object and measuring the liquid (mL) and subtracting finding the volume

To predict the sinking/floating behavior of a spherical object, you could determine its density.

<em>Step 1</em>. Determine its <em>mass</em> on a suitable balance.

<em>Step 2</em>. Determine its <em>volume</em>

<em>Either </em>

Measure its circumference. <em>C</em> = 2π<em>r</em>, so you can calculate r

<em>or </em>

Measure its diameter. <em>d</em> = 2<em>r</em>, so you can calculate <em>r </em>

<em>Then </em>

<em>V</em> = ⁴/₃π<em>r</em>³ , so you can calculate its volume.

<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate its <em>density </em>(<em>D</em>).

Density = mass/volume

If D < 1 g/cm³, the object will float in water. If D > 1 g/cm³, the object will sink.

Bromine (Br) belongs to the halogen family. Based on the location of the halogens, how many valence electrons does bromine have?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

D. 7

Explanation:

The halogens are found in Group 7 of the Periodic Table. If Bromine is a halogen, then that means it would be found in Group 7. Also, elements in Group 7 have 7 electrons in its outer shell, Bromine would have 7 electrons in its outer shell.

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

At exactly 2:00 PM, speedy the hermit crab crawl onto a meter stick starting at the 10 cm mark. If he reaches the 60 cm mark at
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

speed=5cm/minute

Explanation:

Given at 2:00PM the hermit is at 10cm mark

Also given that the hermit reaches 60cm mark at 2:10PM

Therefore the time elapsed is  10 minutes = 10\times 60=600 seconds

the distance travelled by the hermit is 60-10=50cm=0.5m

We know that

speed=\frac{distane}{time}

speed=\frac{0.5}{600}

speed = 8.3\times 10^{-4} m/sec=5cm/minute
