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.

How many grams of methane gas (CH4) need to be combusted to produce 12.5 L water vapor at 301 K and 1.1 atm? Show all of the wor
tangare [24]
Answer is: 4.45 grams of methane gas <span>need to be combusted</span>.
Balanced chemical reaction: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O.
Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.<span>
p = 1.1 atm.
T = 301 K.
V(H</span>₂O) <span>= 12.5 L.
R = 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K.
</span>n(H₂O) = <span>1.1 atm · 12.5 L ÷ 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K · 301 K.
</span>n(H₂O) = 0.556 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(H₂O) : n(CH₄) = 2 : 1.
n(CH₄) = 0.556 mol ÷ 2 = 0.278 mol.
m(CH₄) = 0.278 mol · 16 g/mol.
m(CH₄) = 4.448 g.

Which of the following conditions would speed up the rate of decomposition? (Select
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

E and B

Explanation:

the warmer the weather the faster it will decompose, this why is why sometimes bodies last longer frozen, or in cool temperatures.

that statement takes a out.

An illness shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Weight also shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Being buried can make bodies decompose fast because of all the bugs and other animals that will get down there and decompose it faster

Answer: B,E

What type of reaction is shown in this thermochemical equation? A + B + heat → C + D
hodyreva [135]
The reaction, as what is depicted in the thermonuclear equation is one of the best example of an endothermic reaction. In addition, the endothermic process revolves around the idea that the system can also absorb the energy from its surroundings, in contrast to the idea of releasing its energy to its environment.
