Answer:

What about hot air balloons? They work by similar principles. If you heat up a gas it expands. In the case of a hot air balloon, when the gas inside the balloon expands the extra gas is pushed out the bottom of the balloon, meaning that there are fewer atoms inside the balloon, meaning that the air in the balloon is lighter than the air outside the balloon.

The amount of lifting power is controlled by how hot the air is. If you heat the air inside the balloon 100 degrees F hotter than the outside air temperature, then the air inside the balloon will be about 25 percent lighter than the air outside the balloon. So a cubic foot of air weighs about 35 grams at 32 degrees F. A cubic foot of hot air at 132 degrees F will weigh 25 percent less, or about 26.5 grams. The difference is 8.5 grams or so. So a hot air balloon has to be much bigger to support the same weight, but it will float because hotter air is lighter than cooler air.

The amount of lifting power

An experiment requires 40.0g of ethylene glycol, a liquid whose density is 1.114 g/mL. Rather than weigh the sample on a balance

uranmaximum [27]

Density= mass/volume
volume=mass/density
volume= 40.0g/1.114g per mL
volume= 35.90664273 mL
volume = 35.9 mL

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

For a: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

For b: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

For c: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

For a: Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

For b: Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

For c: Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$

Explain why ice is able to float on water

agasfer [191]

Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. One consequence of this is that lakes and rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing fish to survive even when the surface of a lake has frozen over
