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.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Rate of the reaction= 9.92× 10^-5 M² min-1

Explanation:

Using the equation of reaction

2N2O5 ⟶ 4NO2+O2

Rate = k[N2O5]²

From the question k= 6.2×10-4

[N2O5]= 0.4

Rate = 6.2×10-4[0.4]²= 9.92×10-5M² min-1

Why is matter measured in mass and not weight?​
wel

Answer:

But why should it even <u>matter</u>?

Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.

Inga [223]
<span>People with protanopia are unable to sense any ‘red’ light, people with deuteranopia do not sense ‘green’ light and people with tritanopia cannot sense ‘blue’ light. If a person perceives the color green, then the yellow sensitive nerves must work somewhat effectively since green is a combination of yellow and blue. Red-sensitive nerves are most likely not responding properly for this person. The answer is C.</span>
