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.

hoa [83]

Answer:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ and CH₃OH

Explanation:

Sucrose and methyl alcohol are nonelectrolytes. They do not ionize or conduct a current in aqueous solution.

HC₂H₃O₂ is a weak electrolyte. It produces only a few ions and is a poor conductor of electricity in aqueous solution.

HC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + C₂H₃O₂⁻

H₂SO₄ is a strong electrolyte. Its first ionization is complete, so it is a good conductor of electricity in aqueous solution.

H₂SO₄ + H₂O ⟶ H₃O⁺ + HSO₄⁻

A serving of fish contains 50 g of protein and 4 g of fat . if protein has a caloric value of 4.0kcal/g and fat has 9.1 kcal/g ,
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

2.4x10² kcal

Explanation:

As the serving of fish contains 50g of protein that is 4.0kcal/g:

50g × (4.0kcal/g) = <em>200kcal</em>

<em> </em>

And in 4g of fat that is 9.1kcal/g:

4g × (9.1kcal/g) = <em>36.4kcal</em>

<em />

That means the kcal of the serving are:

200kcal + 36.4kcal = 236.4kcal

In 2 significant figures: <em>2.4x10² kcal</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

How do some deep-sea animals use their bioluminescence, or ability to give off light? (
Svetlanka [38]
Certain fish species use bioluminescence as a form of "night light". Some use it for communication. Certain species of crustaceans send out coded signals to others of their own kind during mating season. Other creatures use bioluminescence as a trap.
