Why do some objects float why others sink

It will sink. This means whether or not an object will float or sink depends on its own density and the density of the liquid it is placed in. In the case of water, an object with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float. The closer its density is to 1 g/cm3, the more of it will sit below the water level.

Because so objects are denser than water and some are less dense than water

What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kj of heat what mass of co2 is produced?
kari74 [83]
The heat of reaction (i.e. combustion) of butane (C_{4} H_{10}) when reacted with oxygen (O_{2})  is -2658 kJ/mol butane, and the chemical reaction is given by: 

C_{4} H_{10} + \frac{13}{2} O_{2} ---> 4 CO_{2}  + 5 H_{2}O

The mass of butane required in the reaction is based on the heat produced by the reaction, which is given to be -1,500 kJ. The minus sign is added because the reaction releases heat (exothermic), which means that the products are in a "lower energy state" than the reactants. 

Dividing this with the heat of reaction per mole of butane reacted would give the number of moles butane required. Then, multiplying the answer with the molar mass of butane which is 58 grams/mole, will give the mass of butane required. 

Moles of butane = [(-1,500 kJ)/(-2658 kJ/mol butane)]
Moles of butane = 0.5643 moles butane

Mass of butane  = 0.5643 moles butane * 58 grams/mol butane
Mass of butane  = 32.73 grams butane

The mass of carbon dioxide (CO_{2}) can be determined by multiplying the moles of butane (C_{4} H_{10}) with the mole ratio of (CO_{2}) produced to the (C_{4} H_{10}) reacted, and then with the molar mass of (CO_{2}), which is 44 grams/mole. 

Mass of carbon dioxide produced 
    = 0.5643 moles butane * [4 moles CO_{2}/ 1 mole C_{4} H_{10}] * 44 grams/mole CO_{2}

Mass of carbon dioxide produced  
    = 99.32 grams CO_{2}

Thus, the mass of butane required is 32.73 grams, and the mass of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of this amount of butane is 99.32 grams.

What is the [H ] of a solution of 0.001 M aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is H2SO4 ionizes in water according to the balanced chem
Ainat [17]

Answer:  0.002 M

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for ionization of H_2SO_4 in water is:

H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO_4^{2-}

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of H_2SO_4 ionizes to give =2 mole of H^+ ions

0.001 mole of H_2SO_4 ionizes to give = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.001=0.002 mole of H^+ ions

Thus H^+ of a solution of 0.001 M aqueous sulfuric acid is 0.002 M

Which event would be impossible to explain by using John Dalton’s model of the atom?
geniusboy [140]

The scientist thought that the atom was the smallest particle in the universe is John Dalton. He established the atomic theory which consists of five; elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms, atoms of different element have different sizes, mass and physic – chemical properties, atoms cannot be divided further, destroyed or created, atoms can combine to form compounds and in chemical reaction, atoms can be combined, separated or rearranged.

Listed below are possible solutes. In your possession is a beaker with 500 milliliters of water. You want to make an aqueous sol
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
