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.

A solution is made by mixing 55.g of thiophene C4H4S and 65.g of acetyl bromide CH3COBr.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Mole fraction of C₄H₄S = 0.55

Explanation:

Mole fraction is moles of solute / Total moles

Total moles are the sum of moles of solute + moles of solvent.

Let's find out the moles of our solute and our solvent.

Mass of solute: 55g

Mass of solvent: 65g

Mol = Mass / molar mass

55 g / 84.06 g/mol = 0.654 moles of C₄H₄S

65 g /123 g/mol = 0.529 moles of C₂H₃BrO

Total moles = 0.654 + 0.529 = 1.183 moles

Mole fraction of thiophene = Moles of tiophene / Total moles

0.654 / 1.183 = 0.55

What form of matter has a definite shape and takes up space?​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

If something is in a solid state of matter, it has a definite shape and volume. The volume of an object is the amount of space it occupies. A block of wood placed on a table retains its shape and volume, therefore, it is an example of a solid. If a liquid is poured on that same table, there are very different results

2. A sample of oxygen gas is placed in a rigid 1.5L glass container at STP. If the gas is
sladkih [1.3K]

The new pressure : P₂ = 1038.39 mmHg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.5 L container at STP

Heated to 100 °C

Required

The new pressure

Solution

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure).

So P₁ =  1 atm = 760 mmHg

T₁ = 273 K

T₂ = 100 °C+273 = 373 K

Gay Lussac's Law  

When the volume is not changed, the gas pressure is proportional to its absolute temperature  

\tt \dfrac{P_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{T_2}

Input the value :

P₂=(P₁.T₂)/T₁

P₂=(760 x 373)/273

P₂ = 1038.39 mmHg
