Why does the solid phase of water (ice) float in liquid water?

Chemistry

Nastasia [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: SOLID WATER(ICE) IS LESS DENSE THAN LIQUID WATER

Explanation:Water molecules are bonded together by Hydrogen bonds, Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces binding the molecules of Oxygen with that of Hydrogen. When in an ICE state,the solid form of water will float on the liquid form of water, because the orientation of Hydrogen bonds pushes or makes the Ice molecules to stay far apart from each making it less Dense than liquid water.

Students working in lab accidentally spilled 17 l of 3.0 m h2so4 solution. they find a large container of acid neutralizer that
jek_recluse [69]

Answer is: 8568.71 of baking soda.

Balanced chemical reaction: H₂SO₄ + 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂SO₄ + 2CO₂ + 2H₂O.

V(H₂SO₄) = 17 L; volume of the sulfuric acid.

c(H₂SO₄) = 3.0 M, molarity of sulfuric acid.

n(H₂SO₄) = V(H₂SO₄) · c(H₂SO₄).

n(H₂SO₄) = 17 L · 3 mol/L.

n(H₂SO₄) = 51 mol; amount of sulfuric acid.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂SO₄) : n(NaHCO₃) = 1 :2.

n(NaHCO₃) = 2 · 51 mol.

n(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol, amount of baking soda.

m(NaHCO₃) = n(NaHCO₃) · M(NaHCO₃).

m(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol · 84.007 g/mol.

m(NaHCO₃) = 8568.714 g; mass of baking soda.

What is the mass in grams of KBr in 0.400 L of a 0.350 M solution???
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 16.7 g of KBr

Explanation:

Data

mass KBr = ? g

Volume = 0.400 L

Concentration = 0.350 M

Formula

Molarity = moles / volume

moles = molarity x volume

Process

moles = (0.350)(0.400)

          = 0.14

MW KBr = 39 + 80 = 119 g

                                  119 g of KBr --------------------  1 mol

                                   x                 --------------------   0.14 mol

                                   x = (0.14 x 119) / 1

                                   x = 16.7 g of KBr

Will the volume of a 1.0 L sample of gas at STP change if the pressure and temperature are both doubled
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The volume will not change.  This belongs in Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Explanation:

The combined gas law can be used to model both the initial (1) and ending (2) states of a gas when pressure (P), temperature (T) and/or volume (V) change, but the number of moles does not.  Remember that temperature must always be in Kelvin.

P1V1/T1 = P2T2/T2

Rearranging for V2:

V2 = V1(T2/T1)(P1/P2)

I've arranged the pressure and temperature terms as ratios.  This makes it easier to see what impact changes will have, plus the units conveniently cancel for both.

(V2) = (1 L)(T2/T1)(P1/P2)

We are told that P2 and T2 are both doubled:

   (T2/T1) = 2

   (P1/P2) = 1/2

V2 = (1 L)(T2/T1)(P1/P2)

V2 = (1 L)(2)(1/2)

V2 = (1 L)(2)(1/2)

V2 - 1 L

The volume does not change.  Bummer.
