Does volume alone determine whether an object will sink or float? Explain.

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.

Describe 2 ways of salting out proteins ​
liubo4ka [24]

The phenomenon known as "salting-out" occurs at very high ionic strengths, when protein solubility declines as ionic strength rises. As a result, salting out may be used to segregate proteins according to how soluble they are in salt solutions.

Because large levels of sodium chloride disturb the bonds and structure of the active site, the rate of enzyme activity will gradually decrease as the concentration of sodium chloride rises. As a result, some of the active sites get denaturized and the starch loses its ability to attach to them. As more enzymes get denatured and eventually cease to function, enzyme activity will steadily wane.

Has anyone ever done this atom escape room thing
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

1.  negative

2.  positive

3.  neutral

Explanation:

Ok so it looks like they are asking for the charge (positive, negative, or neutral) of each thing

So for 1, it would be negative, because it's pointing to an electron.  Electrons always have a negative charge.

So for 2, it would be positive, because it's pointing to a proton.  Protons always have a positive charge

So for 3, it would be neutral, because it's pointing to a neutron.  Neutrons always have a neutral charge.
