Why can’t you identify a substance on the basis of density alone?

1 answer:

8 0

Because density changes, it do depends on the state of the substance it's a state variable, for eg you have a cup of water at 4°c at this point the water possess the highest density, but at 0°c the density decreases, due to anamolous behaviour of water molecules by creating a cage mechanised structure.. (then according to your statement you might say both are different, but though they are same just difference in thier states) thus you can't have density alone as a basis

A hot-air balloon has a volume of 440 × 10^3 ^3. Calculate the buoyant force that the surrounding cold air exerts on the balloon

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the balloon is

V = 440 × 10³ m³

Buoyant force F?

Given the density of the surrounding to be 2.58 kg/m³

ρ = 2.58 kg/m³

The buoyant force is the weight of water displaced and it is calculated using

F_b = ρVg

Where

F_b is buoyant force

ρ is density

V is the volume of the liquid displace.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Then,

F_b = ρVg

F_b = 2.58 × 440 × 10³ × 9.81

F_b = 1.1 × 10^7 N

If 1495 j of heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 351 g sample of a metal from 55.0°c to 66.0°c, what is the specific he

forsale [732]

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q= mC_s \Delta T$
where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and $\Delta T$ is the increase of temperature.

If we re-arrange the formula, we get
$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
And if we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
$C_s = \frac{1495 J}{(351 g)(66.0^{\circ}C-55.0^{\circ}C)}=0.39 J/g^{\circ}C$

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven ranges of wavelengths and is the part visible to the human eye

oksano4ka [1.4K]

In one of the most amazing coincidences in all of science,
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's visible to the
human eye is called "visible light".

Visible light is not 'divided' into anything. We mention the names
to seven of the colors in visible light. But all of the thousands of
OTHER colors that we can see are in there too, even though we
don't bother to list their names when we buzz through the rainbow
in the third grade.
