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

statuscvo [17]

Explanation:

First, calculate the moles of CO_{2} using ideal gas equation as follows.

                PV = nRT

or,          n = \frac{PV}{RT}

                = \frac{1 atm \times 4.41 ml}{0.0821 Latm/mol K \times 293 K}      (as 1 bar = 1 atm (approx))

                = 0.183 mol

As,   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Hence, mass of water will be as follows.

                Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

             0.998 g/ml = \frac{mass}{3.26 ml}    

                 mass = 3.25 g

Similarly, calculate the moles of water as follows.

        No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                              =  \frac{3.25 g}{18.02 g/mol}            

                              = 0.180 mol

Moles of hydrogen = 0.180 \times 2 = 0.36 mol

Now, mass of carbon will be as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

          0.183 mol =  \frac{mass}{12 g/mol}            

                              = 2.19 g

Therefore, mass of oxygen will be as follows.

              Mass of O = mass of sample - (mass of C + mass of H)

                                = 3.50 g - (2.19 g + 0.36 g)

                                = 0.95 g

Therefore, moles of oxygen will be as follows.

          No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                               =  \frac{0.95 g}{16 g/mol}            

                              = 0.059 mol

Now, diving number of moles of each element of the compound by smallest no. of moles as follows.

                         C              H           O

No. of moles:  0.183        0.36       0.059

On dividing:      3.1           6.1            1

Therefore, empirical formula of the given compound is C_{3}H_{6}O.

Thus, we can conclude that empirical formula of the given compound is C_{3}H_{6}O.

1) How does the oxpecker benefit?
Bezzdna [24]

Explanation:

1)

Oxpeckers are a type of small bird that land on zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on the zebra's skin. The oxpeckers get food and the zebras get pest control. ... Tapeworms get food by eating the host's partly digested food, depriving the host of nutrients.

2)i. Fast Speed. Basically, we can process data that is stored in HDFS at lightning-fast speed with traditional SQL knowledge, by using Impala.

ii. No need to Move Data. ...

iii. Easy Access. ...

iv. Short Procedure. ...

v. File Format. ...

vi. Big Data. ...

vii. Relational model. ...

viii. Languages.

3) A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.

In the Internet, a hostname is a domain name assigned to a host computer. ... For example, en.wikipedia.org consists of a local hostname (en) and the domain name wikipedia.org. This kind of hostname is translated into an IP address via the local hosts file, or the Domain Name System (DNS) resolver.

4) Usually, although parasites harm their hosts, it is in the parasite's best interest not to kill the host, because it relies on the host's body and body functions, such as digestion or blood circulation, to live. Some parasitic animals attack plants.

5)The pollen sticks to the hummingbird and as the hummingbird goes to another cardinal flower for food the pollen is spread. This would qualify as a mutual relationship because both of the organisms benefit from the relationship. ... These two organisms have a relationship that is known as mutualism.

6)According to Campbell, moose populations are highest in areas 40 years after a major wildfire. But habitat loss is not the only probable cause of moose decline. Tiny ticks also could be a big problem. ... Without deep snow, then predators like wolves and mountain lions have an advantage over moose.”

Deforestation Led to Decline

The reasons why wolves have seen their population decimated mainly due to the diminishing forests in North America, where many of the wolves are found. Wolves were able to live in and survive in such an environment.
