the diagram below represents two beakers, each containing an ice cube and clear liquid. in beaker A the ice cube floats, and in

beaker B the ice cube rest on the bottom. what is the most probable cause for the difference in behavior of the ice cube in the two beakers?

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.

A student obtains a beaker containing a solution that is determined to have a hydrogen ion
OleMash [197]

Answer:

pH = 13.1

Basic

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Hydrogen ion concentration ([H⁺]): 6.7 × 10⁻¹⁴ M

Step 2: Calculate the pH of the solution

We will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 6.7 × 10⁻¹⁴ = 13.1

  • When pH < 7, the solution is acid.
  • When pH = 7, the solution is neutral.
  • When pH > 7, the solution is basic.

Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.

escribe los valores de los cuatro numeros cuanticos para los electrones de los elementos:berilio y nitrogeno ayuda pls
valkas [14]
<span>Hay cuatro números cuánticos: n, ℓ, m, y s. Cada uno es un factor particular en una ecuación que describe una propiedad del electrón. En este nivel introductorio, las ecuaciones no son necesarias. El valor de cada número cuántico se asigna a cada electrón en un átomo mediante un proceso de "construcción". Niels Bohr llamó a este proceso el principio de "Aufbau": aufbau significa "construir". N es SIEMPRE el punto de partida para construir una serie de números cuánticos. Cada número cuántico se asigna entonces de acuerdo a un conjunto de reglas, cada una de las cuales tomó años de estudio para finalmente determinar. Las reglas NO son sólo las viejas arbitrarias; Se han determinado a partir de un estudio de la naturaleza. Recuerde las reglas: (1) n = 1, 2, 3, y así sucesivamente. (2) ℓ = 0, 1, 2,. . . , N - 1 (3) m empieza en negativo ℓ, pasa por números enteros a cero y luego pasa a ℓ positivo. (4) después de haber determinado los n, ℓ y m, asignar el valor +1/2 a un electrón, luego asignar -1/2 al siguiente electrón, utilizando los mismos valores n, ℓ ym. Además, tenga en cuenta que usamos sólo un valor n, ℓ, m, y s para hacer un conjunto de cuatro números cuánticos para cada electrón. Es el conjunto que identifica de forma única cada electrón. Último punto: la última columna de cada tabla se denomina "Nombre Orbital". Al leer este tutorial, es posible que aún no sepa lo que es un orbital. Eso está bien, pero por favor entienda el concepto llamado "orbital" es importante. Aquí está una descripción simple real que ignora muchos detalles: cada orbital es una región del espacio alrededor del núcleo que contiene un MÁXIMO de dos electrones. Darse cuenta de que es más complejo que eso, pero la descripción anterior es lo suficientemente bueno por ahora. </span>

The reaction of a Lewis acid with a Lewis base would most likely be accompanied by an increase in which item?
Leokris [45]

The correct option is COVALENT BONDS.

A Lewis acid is defined as a substance which accept a pair of electron while a Lewis base refers to a substance that donate an unshared pair of electrons to another chemical specie with which it shared the donated pair of electrons.

Lewis acid and Lewis base react together to form salt and water. This type of reaction is called neutralization reaction. The neutralization reaction of Lewis acid and Lewis base involves electron pairs transfer, thus, there is an increase in the number of covalent bonds during this reaction.
