Answer:

A. It would float with about 80% of the cube below the surface of the water and 20% above the surface.

Explanation:

The choice that best describes what happens to cube of the given density value is that it would float with about 80% of the cube would be below the surface of the water and 20% above the surface.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. The more mass a body has relative to volume, the great it's density. In short, density is directly proportional to mass and inversely related to volume.

The density of water is 1g/mL

If the density of the cube were to be the same with that of water, the substance will just mix up with water .

Here the density is less than that of water.

The density is 0.2g/mL

Therefore, 20% will stay afloat and 80% will be below the surface of the water.

Why does group 18 in the periodic table not form ions?

alukav5142 [94]

Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements:
- They have 8 valence electrons.
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable).
- Are stable
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases

Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions:

Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive.

Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond.

That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond.

I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.

Fatty acids spread spontaneously on water to form a monomolecular film. A solution containing 0.10 mm^3 of a fatty acid is dropp

lara31 [8.8K]

Divide the volume by the area. Using scientific makes things a bit cleaner.

$0.10\,\mathrm{mm}^3 = 10^{-1}\,\mathrm{mm}^3$

$400.\,\mathrm{cm}^2 = 4\times10^2\,\mathrm{cm}^2$

Then

$\dfrac{10^{-1} \,\mathrm{mm}^3}{4\times10^2\,\mathrm{cm}^2} \cdot \dfrac{\left(\frac{1\,\rm m}{10^3\,\rm mm}\right)^3}{\left(\frac{1\,\rm m}{10^2\,\rm cm}\right)^2} = \dfrac{10^{-1}\times10^{-9} \,\mathrm m^3}{4\times10^2\times10^{-4}\,\mathrm m^2} = \dfrac{10^{-10}}{4\times10^{-2}}\,\mathrm m \\\\ ~~~~~~~~= 0.25\times10^{-8}\,\mathrm m$

Now, 1 m = 10⁹ nm, so

$0.25 \times10^{-8}\,\mathrm m \cdot \dfrac{10^9\,\rm nm}{1\,\rm m} = 0.25\times10^1\,\mathrm{nm} = \boxed{2.5\,\rm nm}$
