That's just the tip of the iceberg" is a popular expression you may have heard. It means that what you can see is only a small p

art of the overall problem. As the diagram shows, most of an iceberg is actually out of sight, below the water level. Based on this diagram, what is the most likely density of the iceberg? (Assume a density of 1.03 g/mL for seawater.)
A. 0.88 g/cc
B. 1.23 g/cc
C. 0.23 g/cc
D. 4.14 g/cc

Answer:

B 1.23 g/cc

Explanation:
For something to float on seawater, the density must be less than 1.03 g/mL. If the object sinks, the density is greater than 1.03 g/mL.

Let’s examine the answer choices. Keep in mind, the ice berg is mostly below the water level.

A. 0.88 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would result in floating.

B. 1.23 g/cc
This is the best answer choice. The iceberg is mostly beneath the water, but some of it is exposed. The density is greater than 1.03 g/mL, but not so much greater that it would immediately sink.

C. 0.23 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would produce floating.

D. 4.14 g/cc
This is much greater than 1.03 g/cc and the result would be sinking.

What is the approximate percentage of nitrogen in<br> the Earth's current atmosphere?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

78% nitrogen

Explanation:

It has been long agreed upon that our atmosphere is highly abundant with nitrogen. Our atmosphere is composed of  78% nitrogen and then other gases follow such as 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide with very small percentages of other elements.

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of 2,3-dimethylbutane. use the molecular formula for the alkane (c before
Nuetrik [128]

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

<em>Step 1</em>. Write the <em>condensed structural  formula</em> for 2,3-dimethylbutane.

(CH_3)_2CHCH(CH_3)_2

<em>Step 2</em>. Write the <em>molecular formula</em>.

C_6H_14

<em>Step 3</em>. Write the <em>unbalanced chemical equation</em>.

C_6H_14 + O_2 → CO_2 + H_2O

<em>Step 4</em>. Pick the <em>most complicated-looking formula</em> (C_6H_14) and balance its atoms (C and H).

<em>1</em>C_6H_14 + O_2 → <em>6</em>CO_2 + <em>7</em>H_2O

<em>Step 5</em>. Balance the <em>remaining atoms</em> (O).

1C_6H_14 + (<em>19/2</em>)O_2 → 6CO_2 + 7H_2O

Oops! <em>Fractional coefficients</em>!

<em>Step 6</em>. <em>Multiply all coefficients by a number</em> (2) to give integer coeficients..

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

How many moles of NaCl are present in 2.50 L of a 0.070 M solution?
posledela

Given :

Volume of NaCl solution 2.5 L .

Molarity of NaCl solution is 0.070 M .

To Find :

How many moles are present in the solution.

Solution :

Let, n be the number of moles.

We know, molarity is given by :

M = \dfrac{n}{V(in\ L)}

So,

n = M \times V\\\\n = 0.070\times 2.5 \\\\n = 0.175\ moles

Therefore, number of moles of NaCl is 0.175 moles.
