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.

poizon [28]

We are given the following equation:

y = y0 e^-0.0001216 t

where y = 1/5 y0, y0 is the original amount

So solving for time t:

1/5 y0= y0 e^-0.0001216 t

t = 13,235.51 years

How could you verify that you produced carbon dioxide in your combustion reaction? 2. what indication did you have that nh3 was
DanielleElmas [232]

1) Carbon dioxide is a gas, so when CO_{2} is evolved in the reaction, it appears as bubbles. The gas released extinguishes the fire and it can turn lime water milky.

Ca(OH)_{2} (aq) + CO_{2}(g) ----> CaCO_{3}(s) +H_{2}O(l)

2) When NH_{3} is released in a decomposition reaction we can identify by the strong pungent smell of the gas released.

3) Saturated citric acid can cause corrosion of the metal layers present in the pipes. So, before draining out any acid it is neutralized so that the pipes and other plumbing works do not get damaged leading to leaks in the drainage system.

What role does the activation energy play in chemical reactions?
Tatiana [17]
The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that particles must have in order for them to participate in a chemical reaction. During chemical reactions bonds are broken and formed. Particles must collide with sufficient energy in order for the initial bonds to be broken. The activation energy is that that initial minimum energy that the particles can have in order for the bonds to be broken. Stronger bonds would require more energy to be broken and therefore the activation energy for such would be higher.
