Answer:

No

Explanation:

The density of an object is the determinant factor if an object will stay afloat or sink. Density of an object is the ratio of mass of an object to its volume

ρ = m / v

Where p = density

m = mass

V = volume of an object.

From the mathematical equation,

Object with higher mass compared to its volume will sink while objects with lower mass compared to its volume will stay afloat.

Also the density of the object as to be compared to the density of the solution. If an object A has a higher density than liquid B, and A is placed on B, A will definitely sink because it has a higher density compared to liquid B. However is A has a lower density compared to liquid B, A will remain afloat.

Answer:

no.

Density (mass / volume) determines whether an object floats or sinks. If the object is less dense than the medium in which it has been submerged, it floats. if it is more dense, it sinks. Volume will definitely determine if a steel ship floats, as steel is far more dense than water.

If a plant produces 9.31 mol of C6H12O6, how many moles of H2O are needed?
Mashutka [201]

The complete balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis in plants is:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Based on the balanced equation the molar ratio between H₂O and C₆H₁₂O₆ is 6:1

This means that 6 moles of H₂O is need for every 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆

9.31 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ x (6 moles of H₂O / 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆) = 55.86 moles of H₂O

Thus the moles of H₂O need is 55.86 .

What is the ph of a 0.45 m solution of aniline (c6h5nh2)? (pkb  9.40)?
mote1985 [20]

Answer is: pH of aniline is 9.13.<span>
Chemical reaction: C</span>₆H₅NH₂(aq)+ H₂O(l) ⇌ C₆H₅NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

pKb(C₆H₅NH₂) = 9.40.

Kb(C₆H₅NH₂) = 10∧(-9.4) = 4·10⁻¹⁰.

c₀(C₆H₅NH₂) = 0.45 M.

c(C₆H₅NH₃⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.

c(C₆H₅NH₂) = 0.45 M - x.

Kb = c(C₆H₅NH₃⁺) · c(OH⁻) / c(C₆H₅NH₂).

4·10⁻¹⁰ = x² /  (0.45 M - x). 

Solve quadratic equation: x = c(OH⁻) = 0.0000134 M.

pOH = -log(0.0000134 M.) = 4.87.

pH = 14 - 4.87 = 9.13.

Write the action of monohydroxy benzene with aqueous bromine​
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The reaction yields the product compound 2,4,5-tribromophenol.

<h3>Bromination of monohydroxy benzene</h3>

Bromination is an organic reaction in which aqueous bromine is made to react with another compound so as to introduce bromine into the molecule.

When we carry out the bromination of monohydroxy benzene, we obtain the compound 2,4,5-tribromophenol.
