Why does ice float after it crystallizes? Its mass is greater than water. Its density is greater than water. Its density is less
tekilochka [14]

Ice floats after it crystallizes because ITS DENSITY IS LESS THAN THAT OF WATER.

When a quantity of water is cools down by reducing its temperature, the molecules of the water lose kinetic energy and slow down in their movement. As the water is cooling down, it is volume is expanding. When the temperature reaches zero degree Celsius, the water becomes ice. At this point, the ice can float on water because its density is less than that of water; this is as a result of the spaces that now exist in the ice structure.

What<br>your events made Gautam Buddha to<br>go in search of the truth?​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The Buddha (also known as Siddhartha Gotama or Siddhārtha Gautama[note 3] or Buddha Shakyamuni) was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India (c. 5th to 4th century BCE).[5][6][7][note 4] He is revered as the founder of the world religion of Buddhism, and worshipped by most Buddhist schools as the Enlightened One who has transcended Karma and escaped the cycle of birth and rebirth.[8][9][10] He taught for around 45 years and built a large following, both monastic and lay.[11] His teaching is based on his insight into duḥkha (typically translated as "suffering") and the end of dukkha – the state called Nibbāna or Nirvana.

The Buddha was born into an aristocratic family in the Shakya clan but eventually renounced lay life. According to Buddhist tradition, after several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the mechanism which keeps people trapped in the cycle of rebirth. The Buddha then traveled throughout the Ganges plain teaching and building a religious community. The Buddha taught a middle way between sensual indulgence and the severe asceticism found in the Indian śramaṇa movement.[12] He taught a spiritual path that included ethical training and meditative practices such as jhana and mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice.

A couple of centuries after his death he came to be known by the title Buddha, which means "Awakened One" or "Enlightened One".[13] Gautama's teachings were compiled by the Buddhist community in the Suttas, which contain his discourses, and the Vinaya, his codes for monastic practice. These were passed down in Middle-Indo Aryan dialects through an oral tradition.[14][15] Later generations composed additional texts, such as systematic treatises known as Abhidharma, biographies of the Buddha, collections of stories about the Buddha's past lives known as Jataka tales, and additional discourses, i.e, the Mahayana sutras.

A 52.9g sample of brass, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.375·J·g^−1°C^−1, is put into a calorimeter (see sketch a
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: 90.04°C

Explanation: <u>Calorimeter</u> is a device measures the amount of heat of a chemical or physical process. An ideal calorimeter is one that is well-insulated, i.e., prevent the transfer  of heat between the calorimeter and its surroundings. So, the net heat change inside the calorimeter is zero:

q_{1}+q_{2}=0

Rearraging, it can be written as

q_{1}=-q_{2}

showing that the heat gained by Substance 1 is equal to the energy lost by Substance 2.

In our case, water is gaining heat, because its temperature has risen and so, brass is losing energy:

q_{water}=-q_{brass}

Calculating:

m_{w}.c_{w}.\Delta T=-[m_{b}.c_{b}.\Delta T]

100.4.18.(18.4-15)=-[52.9.0.375.(18.4-T)]

Note: final temperature is the same as the substances are in thermal equilibrium.

Solving:

418(3.4)= - 365.01 + 19.8375T

19.8375T = 1786.21

T = 90.04

The initial temperature for the sample of brass was 90.04°.
