Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension

A 720. cm^3 vessel contains a mixture of Ar and Xe. If the mass of the gas mixture is 2.966 g at 25.0°C and the pressure is 760.

sleet_krkn [62]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Pressure (P) = 760 torr = 1 atm

Volume (V) = $720 cm^{3}$ = 0.720 L

Temperature (T) = $25^{o}C$ = (25 + 273) K = 298 K

Using ideal gas equation, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

PV = nRT

Total atoms present (n) = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

= $1 \times \frac{0.720 L}{0.0821 \times 298}$

= 0.0294 mol

Let us assume that there are x mol of Ar and y mol of Xe.

Hence, total number of moles will be as follows.

x + y = 0.0294

Also, 40x + 131y = 2.966

x = 0.0097 mol

y = (0.0294 - 0.0097)

= 0.0197 mol

Therefore, mole fraction will be calculated as follows.

Mol fraction of Xe = $\frac{y}{(x+y)}$

= $\frac{0.0197}{0.0294}$

= 0.67

Therefore, the mole fraction of Xe is 0.67.

I = 32

Explanation :

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

Number of electrons = Number of protons - charge

Element Number of Number of Number of Atomic

1)Define potential Energy.

Margarita [4]

1. Potential Energy is stored energy a object has when it's not moving.

2. Potential Energy is it's highest on the first stage because as you see the roller coaster is bout to go down the tract which is going to higher the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

3. Kinetic Energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion or moving.

4. Kinetic Energy is it's highest in the third stage after it's gone down the tract and potential energy fully decreased and it's at zero.

Remember that potential energy is stored energy so when a object is not moving in this case the roller coaster isn't moving on the first stage when its bout to go down the roller coaster. Kinetic energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion so in this case the third stage would have the highest example of Kinetic energy because it's fully in motion and has no potential energy.

The label on a bottle of medicine reads "Each 5 mL teaspoonful contains glucose, 1.87 g; levulose, 1.87 g; and phosphoric a

Alexandra [31]

(a) 43.6 mg; (b) 520 mg

(a) Mass of phosphoric acid (PA) in a dose

Mass of PA = 2 tsp × (21.8 mg PA/1 tsp) = 43.6 mg PA

(b) Mass of PA in the bottle

Step 1. Convert ounces to millilitres

Volume = 4 oz × (30 mL/1 oz) = 120 mL

Step 2. Calculate the mass of PA

Mass of PA = 120 mL × (21.8 mg PA/5 mL) ≈ 520 mg PA
