The correct option is C.

The density of an object refers to its mass per volume. Water and ice have different densities. The differences in their densities is due to the empty spaces which exist in the structure of ice. Because of the empty spaces, the structure of ice occupy more volume than that of water, hence it is less dense than water.

When 28242 J are transferred to water sample, its temperature increases 18⁰C to 63⁰C. Determine the mass of the water sample.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

149.79

Explanation:

Formula

Joules = m * c * delta (t)

Givens

J = 28242

m = ?

c = 4.19

Δt = 63 - 18 = 45

Solution

28242 = m * 4.19 * 45

28242 = m * 188.55

m = 28242 / 188.55

m = 149.79

State and explain the trend in electron<br> affinity shown by halogens
velikii [3]
<h3>As fluorine sits atop chlorine in the periodic table, most people expect it to have the highest electron affinity, but this is not the case. ... Therefore, chlorine has a higher electron affinity than fluorine, and this orbital structure causes it to have the highest electron affinity of all of the elements.</h3>

Calculate the density of a sample if the mass is 2.98g and the volume is 2.12l
sineoko [7]
Hey there!:

Mass = 2.98 g

Volume = 2.12 L

Therefore:

Density = mass / volume

Density = 2.98 / 2.12

Density = 1.405 g/L
