A solid rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 grams sank in water. A hollow rubber ball with the same mass floats in water. Explain why

this might be. Please answer ASAP!
Chemistry

Stells [14]3 years ago

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.

The reaction uses B) 9.0 g Br₂.

 iron + bromine ⟶ product

2.0 g +     <em>x</em> g     ⟶   11.0 g

According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.

∴2.0 + <em>x</em> = 11.0

<em>x</em> = 11.0 – 2.0 = 9.0

The reaction uses 9.0 g Br₂.

If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 3.55 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be lethal? Assum
monitta

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 234.7 cans

Explanation:

data

caffeine concentration = 3.55 mg/oz

10.0 g of caffeine is lethal

there are 12 oz of caffeine in a can

Then

                    3.55 mg ----------------- 1 oz

                      x    mg  -----------------12 oz (in a can)

x = 42.6 mg of caffeine in a can

Convert it to grams 42,6 mg = 0.0426 g of caffeine in a can

Finally

            0.0426 g of caffeine ------------------  1 can

            10           g of caffeine -----------------    x

x = 10 x 1/0.0436 = 234.7 cans

Which best explains what happens to the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?A They are incorporated into molecu
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

A They are incorporated into molecules of sugar.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the metabolic process whereby sugar molecules are synthesized by plants in the presence of sunlight (light energy). For this process to occur, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are needed as reactants from external sources. Hence, the photosynthetic equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

According to this question, the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide are incorporated into sugar molecule (glucose). It takes 6 carbon atoms to produce one glucose molecule (C6H12O6). This process involves series of reaction in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis to occur.

What is rate of reaction? Discuss in brief slow and fast reactions.<br>​
Sindrei [870]
The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time.

Reactions that happen quickly have a high rate of reaction. For example, the chemical weathering of rocks is a very slow reaction: it has a low rate of reaction. Explosions are very fast reactions: they have a high rate of reaction. Rate of reaction is an example of a compound measure.
