Answer:

The density of the liquid in beaker B is less than the that of ice.

Explanation:

Ice will float if its mass is less than the mass of the liquid it displaces.

For example, the density of ice is less than that of water.

A 10 cm³ cube of ice has a mass of about 9 g, while the mass of 10 cm³ of water is 10 g. Thus, 9 g of ice displaces 10 g of water.

The denser water displaces the lighter ice and the ice floats to the top.

If the density of the liquid is <em>less than</em> that of water, say, 8 g/cm³, the ice will displace only 8 g of the liquid. The ice will sink.

14. Which of the following is produced when propane (C3H8) is combusted completely? (2 points)
Ymorist [56]

The following is produced when propane (C₃H₈) is combusted completely : H₂O

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Complete combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will be obtained by CO₂ and H₂O compounds.  

If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O  

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (especially alkanes)  \large {\boxed {\bold {C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \frac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 \Rightarrow nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}

For combustion of propane C₃H₈ (n = 3) ⇒ completely(excess O₂) :

C₃H₈+5O₂⇒3CO₂+4H₂O

The products of combustion : CO₂ and H₂O
