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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

harkovskaia [24]

<u>Answer</u>:

the continents of earth were clustered together in formation that a scientist named Pangaea.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Before 300 million years ago, our earth was not made up of 7 different continent what we have now. Instead it was single huge mass land that was surrounded by a single ocean called  Panthalassa. A lot of  migration and collision lead to the formation of Pangaea. An Scientist named Albert Wegener gave the name Pangaea. Later, Pangaea was broken into  Gondwanaland and Laurasia.These Lands were then divided into 7 continents.

8. Select the lattice energy for rubidium chloride from the following data (in kJ/mol]
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The chemical reactions which are involved while solving this problem is there in the file attached and each chemical reaction is represented by a certain equation number

Lattice energy for rubidium chloride ( RbCl) is represented by the equation 6

Equation 1 represents the change in enthalpy for formation of RbCl

Equation 2 represents the sublimation reaction of rubidium

Equation 3 represents the ionization enthalpy of rubidium

Equation 4 represents the enthalpy of atomization of chlorine which means it describes the bond enthalpy of Cl2 molecule

Equation 5 represents the electron affinity of chlorine

To find the lattice energy for RbCl we have to use all the equations from 1 to 5 so that at last we get the equation 6

We have to perform operations such as

Equation 1 - equation 2 - equation 3 - equation 4 - equation 5

By performing these operations the intermediate compounds gets cancelled and at last we get equation 6

So Equation 1 ≡  ΔH_{f} = -431 kJ/mol

Equation 2 ≡ Rb(s) ---> Rb(g) = 85.8  kJ/mol

Equation 3 ≡ IE1(Rb) = 397.5  kJ/mol

Equation 4 ≡ BE(Cl2) = 226  kJ/mol

Equation 5 ≡ Electron Affinity Cl = -332  kJ/mol

Value corresponding to the equation 6 will be the value of lattice energy of RbCl and the value is -695·3 kJ/mol

∴ Lattice energy for rubidium chloride is approximately -695 kJ/mol

g a package of aluminum foil contains 50 ft2 of foil, which weighs approximately 8.0 oz. aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. w
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1.8×10^-2mm or 0.018mm

Explanation:

Density = mass/Volume

But volume= area×thickness

Area= 50ft2= 46451.52cm2

Mass=8oz= 226.7962g

Density= 2.70g/cm3

Thickness= mass/density ×area

= 226.7962/46451.52×2.70= 1.8×10-3cm= 1.8×10^-2mm
