Answer:

The hollow ball is more buoyant than the solid ball.

Explanation:

The hollow ball will float while the solid ball sinks because the volume of water displaced by the hollow ball is more than that displaced by the solid ball.

An object floats when it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight.  A solid ball is more compact, and hence, does not displace a lot of water when dropped into a bowl full of water. On the other hand, the hollow ball will have a larger curved surface area, since it has no fill. This will make it displace a larger volume of water and hence make it float.

What is the pH of a solution with a H+ ion of 2×10-¹²?​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

11.7

Explanation:

The pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions. If the concentration is 2×10-¹² the the pH will be -log(2×10-¹²) which is 11.698 which can be round up to 11.7.

2. A 10 kg ball is rolled down a rail from a height of 20 m. What is the velocity at the bottom of the
solmaris [256]

Answer:

19.8m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 10kg

Height of the rail  = 20m

Unknown:

Velocity at the bottom of the rail  = ?

Solution:

The velocity at the bottom of the rail is its final velocity.

Using the appropriate motion equation, we can find this parameter;

   V²   = U²  + 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

  the ball was rolled from rest, U  = 0

  V²  = O²  + 2 x 9.8 x 20

 V  = 19.8m/s

You know that an unlabeled bottle contains an aqueous solution of one of the following: AgNO3, KCl, or (NH4)2SO4. A friend sugge
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

These tests determine the solubility of the compounds formed upon adding the test solution

Explanation:

Addition of Ba(NO₃)₂ will cause a precipitate ((Ba)₂SO₄) to form in the solution of (NH₄)₂SO₄. No precipitates will form in the other unknown solutions. Thus, whether or not the solution is ammonium sulfate can be determined.

Addition of NaCl solution will cause a precipitate (AgCl) to form in the solution of AgNO₃. No precipitates will form in the other unknown solutions. Thus, whether or not the solution is silver nitrate can be determined.

If no precipitates form, then the unknown solution must be KCl.
