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

Give three examples, from the lab, where potential energy was converted to kinetic energy.
GREYUIT [131]

Give 3 Examples of where potential energy was converted to knlinetic energy:

Curtain

A ball before moving

An apple from the tree then falling down

When the Curtains are still, we call the that potential energy. If you move the curtains around, that is kinetic energy

The ball is still, that is potential energy. Then the ball is moving, the is kinetic energy

There is a apple ganging from a tree, that is potential energy. That apple is fall, this is kinetic energy

Hope this helps

Don't type or write in the answer, I'm not sure what from the lab means. These are a few potential into kinetic energy I could have think of!

HELP! ASAP! Iron (Fe) and copper (II) chloride (CuCl2) combine to form iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) and copper (Cu). If you start
Helga [31]

Answer: 30.978

Explanation:

From the equation 2 moles of Fe will result in 3 moles copper

so .325 moles Fe will result in .4875 moles Cu

Cu weights 63.546 gm per mole

.4875 moles * 63.546 gm / mole = 30.978 gm of Cu
