Answer:
If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

Answer:
the mole fraction of Gas B is xB= 0.612 (61.2%)
Explanation:
Assuming ideal gas behaviour of A and B, then
pA*V=nA*R*T
pB*V=nB*R*T
where
V= volume = 10 L
T= temperature= 25°C= 298 K
pA and pB= partial pressures of A and B respectively = 5 atm and 7.89 atm
R= ideal gas constant = 0.082 atm*L/(mol*K)
therefore
nA= (pA*V)/(R*T) = 5 atm* 10 L /(0.082 atm*L/(mol*K) * 298 K) = 2.04 mole
nB= (pB*V)/(R*T) = 7.89 atm* 10 L /(0.082 atm*L/(mol*K) * 298 K) = 3.22 mole
therefore the total number of moles is
n = nA +nB= 2.04 mole + 3.22 mole = 5.26 mole
the mole fraction of Gas B is then
xB= nB/n= 3.22 mole/5.26 mole = 0.612
xB= 0.612
Note
another way to obtain it is through Dalton's law
P=pB*xB , P = pA+pB → xB = pB/(pA+pB) = 7.69 atm/( 5 atm + 7.89 atm) = 0.612
