Wood sinks in ethanol => wood has higher density than ethanol.
wood floats in gasoline=> wood has lower density than gasoline

Answer: gasoline has more density than wood and wood has more density than gasoline.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}

A substance having more density will sink at the bottom and the substance having less density will float at the top.

As the wood sinks in ethanol , it means wood has more density than ethanol.

As the wood floats in gasoline, it means wood has less density than gasoline.

Hence, the order of density will be gasoline > wood > ethanol.

A sample of phosphonitrilic bromide, PNBr2, contains 2.01 mol of the compound. Determine the amount (in mol) of each element pre
nordsb [41]

Answer:

2.01 moles of P → 1.21×10²⁴ atoms

2.01 moles of N → 1.21×10²⁴ atoms

4.02 moles of Br → 2.42×10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

We begin from this relation:

1 mol of PNBr₂ has 1 mol of P, 1 mol of N and 2 moles of Br

Then 2.01 moles of PNBr₂ will have:

2.01 moles of P

2.01 moles of N

4.02 moles of Br

To determine the number of atoms, we use the relation:

1 mol has NA (6.02×10²³) atoms

Then: 2.01 moles of P will have (2.01  . NA) = 1.21×10²⁴ atoms

2.01 moles of N (2.01  . NA) = 1.21×10²⁴ atoms

4.02 moles of Br (4.02 . NA) = 2.42×10²⁴ atoms

Which measurement has the greatest number of significant figures?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Option B = 60,600 mg  (correct option)

Explanation:

First of all we will have an idea which numbers are consider as significant.

1 = All non-zero digits are consider significant figures like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

2= Leading zeros are not consider as a significant figures. e.g. 0.02 in this number only one significant figure present which is 2.

3= Zero between the non zero digits are consider significant like 105 consist of three significant figures.

4= The zeros at the right side e.g 3400 are also significant. There are four significant figures are present.

In given options, Option A 60.6 mg have 3 significant figures.

Option B have 5 significant figures.

Option C have 4 significant figures.

Option D have 3 significant figures.

Thus option b is correct option which have more significant figures.

What elements would likely form an ionic bond?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

b. Mg & Cl

a. transferred

46

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals when electrons are transferred from one specie to another.

  • The electrostatic attraction from the resulting ions forms the ionic bonds.
  • A metal is electropositive and will readily donate electrons
  • A non-metal is electronegative and will accept electrons.
  • This creates two oppositely charge ions that attracts by means of ionic bonding.

Since Mg and Cl are the only metal - non-metal pair, and ionic bond will form between them.

2.

  In the specie;

          ₄₇Ag¹⁺

47 is the atomic number of the element Ag.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a specie in neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are the same.

  • When an atom loses electron, it becomes positively charged.
  • Here Ag has lost one electron and then, the number of electrons becomes 46.
  • The number of protons is still 47
