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.

joja [24]

Answer:

magnesium metal melts = physical change

magnesium metal ignites = chemical change

Explanation:

<em>Physical changes</em> are those in which the identity of the subtance <u>remains unaltered</u>. No new compounds are formed. They involve generally changes in <u>agreggation states of matter</u>: solid, liquid or gas. The first experiment, in which magnesium metal melts is a physical change because it only changes the state of matter, from solid to liquid, but it is still magnesium metal.

Conversely, <em>chemical changes</em> involve atoms combinations to form new compounds. The second experiment, in which magnesium metal ignites, is a chemical change. After the change, magnesium metal is no longer the metal but a metal oxide.

Which statement is true about molecule speed? (1 point)
ANTONII [103]

Faster molecules have fewer collisions than slower molecules is True about molecular speed.

<h3>What is Molecular speed?</h3>

Molecular speed refers to the average distance gases or molecules travelled atca particular time rate.

It is valid in ideal gas, where the molecules do not interact with others.

Average molecular speed = Square root (3 (ideal gas constant) * (Temperature)/m)

Therefore, Faster molecules have fewer collisions than slower molecules is True about molecular speed.

Learn more about molecular speed from the link below.

Boiling refers to which phase change?
Monica [59]
Boiling or also called evaporation is the conversion of liquid to gas through the application of heat. This phase change is an endothermic change and is the opposite of condensation from gas to liquid.
