The density of water is about 1kg/m³, therefore is the substance has a density of less than 1kg/m³ then it will most likely float however if it is more than 1kg/m³ then it will most likely sink.
Explanation:
Secondary metabolism produces a large number of specialized compounds (estimated 200,000) that do not aid in the growth and development of plants but are required for the plant to survive in its environment. Secondary metabolism is connected to primary metabolism by using building blocks and biosynthetic enzymes derived from primary metabolism. Primary metabolism governs all basic physiological processes that allow a plant to grow and set seeds, by translating the genetic code into proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Specialized compounds from secondary metabolism are essential for communicating with other organisms in mutualistic (e.g. attraction of beneficial organisms such as pollinators) or antagonistic interactions (e.g. deterrent against herbivores and pathogens). They further assist in coping with abiotic stress such as increased UV-radiation. The broad functional spectrum of specialized metabolism is still not fully understood. In any case, a good balance between products of primary and secondary metabolism is best for a plant’s optimal growth and development as well as for its effective coping with often changing environmental conditions. Well known specialized compounds include alkaloids, polyphenols including flavonoids, and terpenoids. Humans use many of these compounds for culinary, medicinal and nutraceutical purposes.

A simple magnetic compass can be used
Answer:
Ka = [H₃O⁺] [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]
Kb = [OH⁻] [H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃⁻]
Explanation:
An amphoteric substance as HSO₃⁻ is a substance that act as either an acid or a base. When acid:
HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)
And Ka, the acid dissociation constant is:
<h3>Ka = [H₃O⁺] [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]</h3><h3 />
When base:
HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₂SO₃(aq)
And kb, base dissociation constant is:
<h3>Kb = [OH⁻] [H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃⁻]</h3>
