Find the density of the plastic. if the density is less than that of water, it's going to float. If it's more than the density of water, then it's going to sink.

A girl throws a rock into a pond. A leaf floating on the pond bobs up and down but does not change location on the pond's surfac
sertanlavr [38]

This is due to the difference in density. The rock is denser than the leaf. And also, the rock is denser than the liquid in the pond. If the material is denser than the other material, it will sink. The same holds true for the rock, it sinks. But when the material is less dense than the other material, it floats. And it holds true for the leaf, it floats.

1) A mixture of anhydrous sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogencarbonate of mass 10.000 g was heated until it reached a constant
vodomira [7]

The masses of the components are obtained as;

  • Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
  • Sodium carbonate =  8.708 g
<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>

The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.

Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

2NaHCO_{3} (s) ----- > Na_{2} CO_{3} (s) + CO_{2} (g) + H_{2} O(g)

Now, the loss in  mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g -  8.708 g = 1.292 g

Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol

= 3.51 g

the smell spreads immediately after you burn agarbatti in this example what is your condition about intermolecular force
Sloan [31]
Intermolecular force for solids is high. Whereas low in gases. The smell of agarbatti spreads immediately because the molecules of air diffuses very fastly.
