Cork floats in water because the cork weighs less than the amount of water that it would have to push up to sink. This basically says that since cork is less dense than water, it floats.

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 2.0 L at a pressure of 4.0 atm. What is the volume of gas at 380 mmHg
Lilit [14]
From equation;
P1V1=P2V2
V2=P1V1÷P2
since P2=380mmHg
now;1atm=760mmHg
how about 380mmHg is equal to how many atm?
380×1÷760=0.5atm
P2 now is equal to 0.5atm
back from equation;
P1V1=P2V2
V2=P1V1÷P2
V2=4.0atm×2.0L÷0.5atm
V2=16L
therefore V2=16L.

What's the boiling point of water at 0 atmospheric pressure?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The water will evaporate and fly out of the bucket; the process will not stop until there is enough water vapor in the atmosphere that the vapor pressure stops the water from boiling further.

A 5.00-mL sample of blood was treated with trichloroacetic acid to precipitate proteins. After centrifugation, the resulting sol
Anarel [89]

Explanation:

According to the Beer-lambert' s law,

        Absrobance = absrobptitvity × lenght × concentration

So, if we will plot a graph between absrobance and concentration then we will obtain a straight line

Hence, formula to calculate slope of the graph is as follows.

   The slope of graph = \frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}

The given data is as follows.

     A_{1} = 0.412 (first point)

     A_{2} = 0.642 (second point)

     C_{1} = 0.240 ppm (first point)

     C_{2} = 0.475 ppm (second point)

Hence, putting these values into the above formula we will calculate the value of slope as follows.

           Slope = \frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}

                     = \frac{0.642 - 0.412}{0.475 - 0.240}

                      = \frac{0.23}{0.235}

                     = 0.978

It is known that for the graph, line equation can be written as follows.

                       y = mx + c  ........... (1)

where,      C = intercept

                 m = slope

Hence, calculate the value of intercept as follows.

           0.412 = 0.24 \times 0.978 + c

               c = 0.178

As it is given that the absorbance values 0.454 (the y-axis value). Therefore, putting this value into equation (1) we get the following.

                     y = mx + c

                  0.454 = x \times 0.978 + 0.178

                   0.276 = 0.978x

                         x = 0.282 ppm

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of Pb in the given sample is 0.282 ppm.
