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.

How many molecules are in 3 moles of potassium bromide (KBr)
sattari [20]

Answer:

Your strategy here will be to use the molar mass of potassium bromide,

KBr

, as a conversion factor to help you find the mass of three moles of this compound.

So, a compound's molar mass essentially tells you the mass of one mole of said compound. Now, let's assume that you only have a periodic table to work with here.

Potassium bromide is an ionic compound that is made up of potassium cations,

K

+

, and bromide anions,

Br

−

. Essentially, one formula unit of potassium bromide contains a potassium atom and a bromine atom.

Use the periodic table to find the molar masses of these two elements. You will find

For K:

M

39.0963 g mol

For Br:

M

To get the molar mass of one formula unit of potassium bromide, add the molar masses of the two elements

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the number of moles of potassium bromide, but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs

Describe how visible spectroscopy could be used to determine the order of a reaction in which a single colorless reactant produc
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a reaction, where, one of the reactant produces a colored product, visible spectroscopy can be used to determined the order of a reaction, the change in concentration of the reactant which forms the colored product is determined by absorbance measurement over time. The data for the concentration and time are plotted on the y and x axis and If we get a straight line it is a zero-order reaction. If instead, a plot of ln[concentration] versus time gives a straight line, it is a first order reaction. However, If 1/concentration versus time gives a straight line, it is a second order reaction kinetics. The other reactants may be changed while keeping this reactant as constant and change on rate of the reaction is observed to see If the other reactant affects the reaction or not.

Opinions are differ from facts as that we cannot change the facts but opinions can be changed as in first example it is given anthracite is better than bituminous coal may be there is another coal which is more better than anthracite. So here opinion is changed.

<h3>What is Coal ?</h3>

It is a black or brownish black sedimentary rock. It contains Sulphur, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon etc. It is always preferred as fuel. Coal was formed millions years ago when plant decay in the soil. It is obtained from dead vegetation. It is obtained from dead plants matter decay into peat and then it is converted into the coal by the process of heat.

<h3>What is Solar System ?</h3>

Solar System is made up of all the planets that revolve around our Sun. Solar System contains eight planets. These planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Opinions are differ from facts as that we cannot change the facts but opinions can be changed as in first example it is given anthracite is better than bituminous coal may be there is another coal which is more better than anthracite. So here opinion is changed.

a sample of compound determined to contain 1.71 g C and 0.287 g H. The corresponding empirical formula is
fiasKO [112]

Answer: The empirical formula is CH_2.

Explanation:

Mass of C = 1.71 g

Mass of H = 0.287 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{1.71g}{12g/mole}=0.142moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.287g}{1g/mole}=0.287moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =\frac{0.142}{0.142}=1

For H =\frac{0.287}{0.142}=2

The ratio of C: H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is CH_2.
