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.

How many reactant molecules and product gas molecules are in this equation?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

N₂  = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

H₂ = 18.066 × 10²³ molecules

NH₃ = 12.044 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Chemical equation;

N₂ + 3H₂     →  2NH₃

It can be seen that there are one mole of nitrogen three mole of hydrogen and two moles of ammonia are present in this equation. The number of molecules of reactant and product would be calculated by using Avogadro number.

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

Number of molecules of nitrogen gas:

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of hydrogen:

3 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

18.066 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of ammonia:

2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

12.044 × 10²³ molecules
