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.

To separate a mixture of iron filings and salt, the most efficient method would be
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Of course you could do the separation chemically. Dissolve the salt up in water, pass thru a filter, wash the iron filings with ethanol, which would encourage the salt to precipitate from solution.

I do hope I helped you! :)

What is the ph of a solution of 0.550 m k2hpo4, potassium hydrogen phosphate?
Solnce55 [7]
We assume that we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 (missing in the question)
and when we have this equation:
H2PO4 (-) → H+  + HPO4-
and form the Ka equation we can get [H+]:
Ka= [H+] [HPO4-] / [H2PO4] and we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 & [H2PO4-] = 0.55m
by substitution:
4.2x10^-13 = (z)(z)/ 0.55
z^2 = 2.31x 10^-13
z= 4.81x10^-7
∴[H+] = 4.81x10^-7
when PH equation is:

PH= -㏒[H+]
     = -㏒(4.81x10^-7) = 6.32
