It is the concept of surface tension that helps the coin to float on the top of the water in the glass. The surface tension acts just opposite to the gravitational force and that is why when any metal placed in the water it will float and come on the surface. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. This attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together and causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.

  • V_1=49.8mL
  • T_1=18°C=291K
  • T_2=83°C=356K

Using Charles law

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_1T_2=V_2T_1

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=V_1T_2\div T_1

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=\dfrac{49.8(356)}{291}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=\dfrac{17728.8}{291}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=60.9mL

Types of atoms. The basic unit of matter. Pure substance is what?
ivanzaharov [21]

Solids, liquids, gases, and plasma are all matter. When all atoms that make up a substance are the same, then that substance is an element. Elements made of only one kind of atom. Because of this, elements are called "pure" substances.

hope this helps :)
