Oil floats on the surface of water but mercury sinks. why?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
andrew-mc [135]3 years ago

Answer:

Because if the object weighs more than the volume when it is placed in the water it will sink. If this object weighs less than the volume of water, it will float. This depends mostly on the type of item.

J. Explain how an atom's valence electron configuration determines its place on the periodic table.​
Darya [45]

Answer:

Elements having same valence electrons are placed in <u>same group.</u>

Explanation:

First, let's start with some basic concepts of modern periodic table:

1. Modern Periodic table : It is the arrangement of element in the increasing order of their atomic numbers

The Modern periodic table is divided into Periods and groups .

Periods : These are the horizontal rows. There are seven periods in the periodic table . Period 1 has 2 element. Period two and three has 8 elements , period 4 and 5 have 18 elements and the period 6 and 7 have 32 elements.

Same period have same number of atomic orbital(Shell)

Group : The group is the vertical columns . There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table.Those element which have same group number will also have same number of electron in their outermost shell. The number of electron in the outermost shell determines the valency of the element.

So, elements showing same valency are placed in same group.

All alkali are place in group 1 and have 1 valance electron in the outermost shell

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure thiophene is measured to be . Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing of th
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.35 atm

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. But an internet search shows me these values for the question:

" At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure thiophene (C₄H₄S) is measured to be 0.60 atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 137. g of thiophene and 111. g of heptane (C₇H₁₆). Calculate the partial pressure of thiophene vapor above this solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal."

Keep in mind that if the values in your question are different, your answer will be different too. <em>However the methodology will remain the same.</em>

First we <u>calculate the moles of thiophene and heptane</u>, using their molar mass:

  • 137 g thiophene ÷ 84.14 g/mol = 1.63 moles thiophene
  • 111 g heptane ÷ 100 g/mol = 1.11 moles heptane

Total number of moles = 1.63 + 1.11 = 2.74 moles

The<u> mole fraction of thiophene</u> is:

  • 1.63 / 2.74 = 0.59

Finally, the <u>partial pressure of thiophene vapor is</u>:

Partial pressure = Mole Fraction * Vapor pressure of Pure Thiophene

  • Partial Pressure = 0.59 * 0.60 atm
  • Pp = 0.35 atm

If the half-life of Carbon-14 is 5700 years, how many years would it take a sample to decay from 1 gram to 31.3 mg
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

28500 years

Explanation:

Applying,

A = A'(2^{x/y})............... Equation 1

Where A = Original mass of Carbon-14, A' = Final mass of carbon-14 after decaying, x = total time, y = half-life.

From the question,

Given: A = 1 g, A' = 31.3 mg = 0.0313 g, y = 5700 years.

Substitute these values into equation 1

1 = 0.0313(2^{x/5700})

2^{x/5700} = 1/0.0313

2^{x/5700}  = 31.95

2^{x/5700} ≈ 32

2^{x/5700} ≈ 2⁵

Equating the base and solve for x

x/5700 ≈ 5

x ≈ 5×5700

x ≈ 28500 years

A 35.66g sample of copper is heated using 600j of energy. if the original temperature of the copper is 85C what is its final tem
ira [324]

This problem is providing the mass, energy, initial temperature and specific heat of a sample of copper that is required to calculate the final temperature.

Thus, we recall the general heat equation:

Q=mC(T_f-T_i)\\

Which has to be solved for the final temperature, T_f as follows:

T_f=T_i+\frac{Q}{mC}

Finally, we plug in the numbers to obtain:

T_f=85\°C+\frac{600J}{35.66g*0.38\frac{J}{g\°C} } \\\\T_f=129.3\°C

However, this result is not given in the choices.
