Why is carbon tetrachloride a liquid at room temperature

12. A beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. Will it float in water,

Greeley [361]

Taking into account the definition of density and Archimedes' principle, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

But first it is neccesary to know that density is a quantity referred to the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance or a solid object.

In other words, the density is the relationship between the weight (mass) of a substance and the volume that the same substance occupies.

The expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

In this case, a beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. This is:

mass= 4.9 kg= 4900 g (being 1 kg= 1000 kg)
volume= 5.4 L= 5400 mL (being 1L=1000 mL)

Replacing in the definition of density:

$density=\frac{4900 g}{5400 mL}$

Solving:

density=0.907 $\frac{g}{mL}$

On the other hand, Archimedes' principle says that an object immersed in a liquid experiences an upward vertical force equal to the weight of the volume of the dislodged liquid.

The sinking or floating of an object is determined by its density with respect to that of the liquid in which it is submerged.

Considering water as the liquid where the object is submerged in this case, an object with a higher density than water will sink. In contrast, an object with a lower density than water will float.

In this case, considering that water has a density of 1 $\frac{g}{mL}$ , the bowling ball for beginners has a lower density. This indicates that, having a lower density than water, the object will float.

In summary, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

Differences in air pressure drive the global wind system on earth. Which term describes polar winds that blow from east to west?

marshall27 [118]

Answer: Polar Easterlies

Explanation: Winds flow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. They originate in the north and south pole creating high pressure zones which generates an outflow. This outflow is then directed from east to west and hence the term used to describe these winds is Polar Easterlies.

12.5 mL of 0.280 M HNO3 and 5.0 mL of 0.920 M KOH are mixed. Is the resulting solution acidic, basic or neutral?

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The resulting solution is basic.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

HNO₃ + KOH → KNO₃ + H₂O

First we calculate the added moles of HNO₃ and KOH:

HNO₃ ⇒ 12.5 mL * 0.280 M = 3.5 mmol HNO₃

KOH ⇒ 5.0 mL * 0.920 M = 4.6 mmol KOH

As there are more KOH moles than HNO₃, the resulting solution is basic.

What is the overall voltage for the nonspontaneous redox reaction involving

Ann [662]

Answer:

Answer D => E°(Mg°/Cu⁺²) = 0.34 + 2.37 = 2.71v

Explanation:

(Oxidation) => Mg°(s) => Mg⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ E°(Mg°/Mg⁺²) = -2.37 v

(Reduction) => Cu⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ => Cu°(s) E°(Cu⁺²/Cu°) = +0.34 v

________________________________________________

Net Rxn => Mg°(s) + Cu⁺²(aq) => Mg⁺²(aq) + Cu°(s)

Std Cell Potential (25°C/1Atm) = E°(Redn) = E°(Oxidn) = +0.34v - (-2.37v)

= 0.34v + 2.37v = 2.72v
