Mercury will sink because the destiny of mercury is 5.427 g/mL, which is greater than the 1.0g/mL density of water.

1 kg =1000 g = 10³ g,
1 m = 100 cm ,
(1m)³ = (100 cm)³= (10²)³ cm³ = 10⁶ cm³ or 10⁶ mL

5,427 kg/m³ = 5,427 kg/ 1m³ = (5427 * 10³ g)/ 10⁶ mL=5427/10³ g/mL=
=5427/1000 g/mL = 5.427 g/mL

5.427 g/mL is density of Mercury, and 1.0 g/mL is density of water.
Density of Mercury is more then density of the water, so
mercury will sink in the water.

1. When an acid reacts with a base, what compounds are formed? (1 point) a salt only water only metal oxides only a salt and wat

scoundrel [369]

Answer: 1) only a salt and water

An acid and base reacts together to undergo neutralization to form salt and water.

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

where HCl is an acid and NaOH is a base to form salt (NaCl) and water $(H_2O)$ .

Answer: 2) The formula of the hydrogen ion is often written as $H^+$ .

All acids dissociate in water to give $H^+$ ions.

Answer: 3) Arrhenius acids are substances that ionizes to yield protons in aqueous solution.

$HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-$

Arrhenius bases are substance that ionizes to yield hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.

$NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-$

Answer: 4) A conjugate acid base pair transfers hydrogen ion.

$CH_3COO^-+H_2O\rightarrow CH_3COOH+H_3O^+$

Here $CH_3COO^-$ accepts a proton and thus act as a base and the corresponding $CH_3COOH$ is its conjugate acid.

Answer: 5) Bronsted Lowry acid is a substance that donates protons. Bronsted Lowry base is a substance that accepts protons.

$NH_4^+$ and $NH_3$

$NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+$

$NH_3$ is a acid which accepts proton and thus acts as base to form conjugate acid $NH_4^+$ .

Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing __________.

Alex Ar [27]

Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Equilibrium is a stage of reaction in which the rate of forwarding reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction and equilibrium is stable at the reversible state of mode.

The concentration of reactant and product must also be equal or the same as the time then only it can be an equilibrium reaction.

Therefore equilibrium depends on the reaction, the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

Mixtures of benzene and cyclohexane exhibit ideal behavior. A solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 2.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.

$P_{solution} = X_{A}P^0_{A}+X_{B}P^0_{B}$
