Does a laboratory balance measure mass or weight

Chemistry
1 answer:
kolezko [41]3 years ago
5 0
A balance in a lab measures the weight of a substance or object.
Weight is the mass of the body x the gravitation pull on the mass of the object.

So the mass of the object can be found by dividing the weight by gravitational constant.

The gravitational constant on earth is 1. so if a balance says that a substance weighs 300g then its mass is also 300g on earth because 300/1 = 300.

Hope that helps :)

A light twig is barely floating on the surface of water. What will most likely happen to the twig if a drop of dishwashing deter
horrorfan [7]

Answer;

- It will sink because soap disrupts the inter-molecular forces of water

Explanation;

-A light twig is barely floating on the surface of water. if a drop of dish washing detergent is added near it then it will sink because soap disrupts the inter- molecular forces of water.

-The twig was initially floating due to the force of surface tension created by the inter-molecular forces between water molecules. When soap is added to the water, the twig will be driven to sink by the disruption of the water's surface tension. This is because soap is a surfacant that is amphipathic and thus disrupts the inter-molecular forces between water molecules that are responsible for surface tension.

Salt, NaCl, is formed by the ionic bonding of sodium and chlorine. The ions, one sodium and one chlorine, have a charge. What is
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Sodium has a positive 1 charge and chloride has a negative 1 charge. Thus one sodium cation cancels one chloride anion resulting in the formula Na1Cl1 or NaCl. This formula is called the "formula unit" since it represents only one unit of the vast NaCl array or lattice.
