Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.
Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.
Answer:
3.6667
Explanation:
<u>For helium gas:</u>
Using Boyle's law
Given ,
V₁ = 3.0 L
V₂ = 9.0 L
P₁ = 5.6 atm
P₂ = ?
Using above equation as:
<u>The pressure exerted by the helium gas in 9.0 L flask is 1.8667 atm</u>
<u>For Neon gas:</u>
Using Boyle's law
Given ,
V₁ = 4.5 L
V₂ = 9.0 L
P₁ = 3.6 atm
P₂ = ?
Using above equation as:
<u>The pressure exerted by the neon gas in 9.0 L flask is 1.8 atm</u>
<u>Thus total pressure = 1.8667 + 1.8 atm = 3.6667 atm.</u>
Explanation:
It'd be better to use cyclohexane. The possible explanation is that the freezing temperature will change by 20.1 degrees for each mole of substance added to 1 kg of cyclohexane, although the same amount added to naphthalene will change its freezing point just by 6.94 degrees.
It is so much easier to identify a larger change more adequately than a smaller one. You would actually not have a 1 molal solution in operation, so the variations in freezing points would be even smaller than the ones already described.
