Here is the full question

Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20 cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm until the height of the alcohol column is 10 cm. The two liquids do not mix.

What is the difference in height between the top surface of the glycerin and the top surface of the alcohol? Suppose that the density of glycerin is 1260 kg/m3and the density of alcohol is 790 kg/m3.

Express your answer in two significant figures and include the appropriate units (in cm)

Answer:

ΔH ≅ 3.73 cm

Explanation:

The pressure inside a liquid is known as hydrostatic pressure and which is represent by the formula:

P =   ρ × g × h

where;

ρ is the density of the fluid

g is the gravitational constant

h is the height from the surface

From the question above;

For glycerine; we have:

density of glycerine = 1260 kg/m³

gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

height = ???

∴

P_{(g)= 1260kg/m^3}*9.8m/s^2*h_g   ----- equation (1)

On the other hand for alcohol:

density of alcohol is given as = 790 kg/m³

gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

height = 10 cm

∴

P_{(a)= 790kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2*10           ----------- equation (2)

if we equate equation 1 and 2 together; we have

P_{(g)= P_{(a)

1260kg/m^3}*9.8m/s^2*h_g = 790kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2*10cm

Making h_g the subject of the formula, we have :

h_g= \frac{ 790kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2*10cm}{1260kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2}

h_g = 6.269 cm

The difference in the height denoted  by ΔH can therefore be calculated as:

ΔH = H_a-H_g

ΔH = 10cm - 6.269cm

ΔH = 3.731 cm

ΔH ≅ 3.73 cm           (to two significant figures)

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

coral bleaching is when the temperature of the water changes (even slight changes in temperature effect coral) and the coral reacts negatively to it causing it to die. unfortunately corals cannot recover once they have been bleached.

slavikrds [6]

Answer: I & III

Explanation:  Solutes are the substances which are minimum in quantity and which is required to dissolve in the solvent (which is larger in quantity) in order to make a solution.

In the asked question, it is given that the water is the solvent and from the given solutes we have to pick which would make an aqueous solution with the highest concentration of solute possible.

Thus the most appropriate answers could be the Ammonia and hexanol which can make the highest possible concentration of solute as ammonia is the gas which is highly soluble in water and hexanol is an alcohol which has an affinity for water. Thus the correct option is I & III

Which phrase is the best description of a topographic map? A shows the physical features of the land B shows political boundarie
Black_prince [1.1K]

A shows the physical features of the land

Explanation:

A topographic map is a map that shows the physical features of the land area. Rivers, streams, mountains, valleys, hills and other physical features.

  • A topographic map is made up of series of contour lines.
  • The contour lines are lines that joins places of equal elevation.
  • All places on the contour lines have the same elevation.
  • Using the contour lines, we can understand the landforms in an area.
  • Other map keys are used to delineate settlement patterns, streams, churches, dams and the like.
  • Most topographic maps are used as base maps for making other maps.
