Answer:

<em><u>Glass that will sink</u></em>

  • alkali zinc borosilicate with a density of 2.57 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.46 g/mL

  • potash soda lead with a density of 3.05 g/mL in a solution with a density of 1.65 g/mL

<em><u>Glass that will float</u></em>

  • soda borosilicate with a density of 2.27 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.62 g/mL

  • alkali strontium with a density of 2.26 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.34 g/mL

<em><u>Glass that will not sink or float</u></em>

  • potash borosilicate with a density of 2.16 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.16 g/mL

Explanation:

Density is the property of matter that states the ratio of the amount of matter, its mass, to the space occupied by it, its volume.

So, the mathematical expression for the density is:

  • density = mass / volume

By comparing the density of a material with the density of a liquid, you will be able to determine whether object will float, sink, or do neither when immersed in the liquid.

The greater the density of an object the more it will try to sink in the liquid.

As you must have experienced many times an inflatable ball (whose density is very low) will float in water, but a stone (whose denisty is greater) will sink in water.

The flotation condition may be summarized by:

  • When the density of the object < density of the liquid, the object will float
  • When the density of the object = density of the liquid: the object will neither float nor sink
  • When the density of the object > density of the liquid: the object will sink.

<em><u>Glass that will sink</u></em>

  • alkali zinc borosilicate with a density of 2.57 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.46 g/mL, because 2.57 > 2.46.

  • potash soda lead with a density of 3.05 g/mL in a solution with a density of 1.65 g/mL, because 3.05 > 1.65.

<u><em>Glass that will float</em></u>

  • soda borosilicate with a density of 2.27 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.62 g/mL, because 2.27 < 2.62.

  • alkali strontium with a density of 2.26 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.34 g/mL, because 2.26 < 2.34.

<em><u>Glass that will not sink or float</u></em>

  • potash borosilicate with a density of 2.16 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.16 g/mL, because 2.16 = 2.16

[ 1.3 ] What is the concentration (%) of solute in the RBC (i.e., what is the concentration of all solute molecules combined?) A
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

0.9%

Explanation:

At the instance where you add RBCs to a solution of 0.9% NaCl, they will maintain their shape as well as their size, this is simply to indicate an equilibrium. That entails that the solution is isotonic to the RBCs. This must mean that the concentration of solutes on each side must be equal otherwise osmotic pressure would force water either in or out of the membrane. Therefore, one can also safely assume that RBC's also have a solute concentration of 0.9%.

How is gravity an attractive force?
Helen [10]
Gravitational force -an attractive force that exists between all objects with mass; an object with mass attracts another object with mass; the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

What could you do to change the volume of a gas
Jet001 [13]
Solids and liquids have volumes thatdo not change easily. A gas, on the other hand, has a vol- ume thatchanges to match the volume of its container. The molecules in a gas are very far apart compared with the molecules in a solid or a liquid. The amount of space between the molecules in a gas can change easily.
