Calculate the Density of the substances below to determine if they will float or sink in water.

Chemistry

Reil [10]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

If the density of the object is more than that of water, it will sink. Otherwise it will float. The density of water is 1 g/mL.

Substance 1,

Mass, m = 450 g, Volume, V = 90 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

d_1=\dfrac{450}{90}\\\\=5\ g/mL

It will sink.

Substance 2,

Mass, m = 35 g, Volume, V = 70 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

d_2=\dfrac{35}{70}\\\\=0.5\ g/mL

It will float.

Substance 3,

Mass, m = 24 g, Volume, V = 12 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

d_3=\dfrac{24}{12}\\\\=2\ g/mL

It will sink.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

Balloons are filled with light gases in order to make them float. Helium and Hydrogen are both light gases.

Helium is quite a lot lighter than air: it's about an eighth of the density of air. Hydrogen is about a sixteenth the density of air, so it'll float in air and will in fact float upwards.

Hydrogen however is twice as heavy as helium, but that doesn't mean the amount of lift off of the balloon is twice as much. The amount of lift is determined by the difference in density with respect to air.

Hydrogen is calculated to be less dense than helium, that explains why hydrogen filled balloons would go up higher.

Helium filled balloons are used because of the safety implications. The problem is that hydrogen is explosive may have some health and safety implications! Helium is much more safe to use.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.3 miles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Distance of 22,704 feet

We are required to determine the number of miles in 22,704 feet

  • To convert one unit to another we use conversion factors
  • Therefore, we need to know the suitable conversion factor.
  • That is, 1 mile/5,280 feet
  • Thus, to determine the number of miles we multiply the number of feet with the conversion factor.

That is;

= 22,704 feet × 1 mile/5,280 feet

= 4.3 miles

Therefore, there are 4.3 miles in 22,704 feet

Gnoma [55]
Use blue litmus paper. This is an indicator that can safely determine whether it is a base or an acid by changing color in response to the substance. This color indicates whether it is an acid or a base. Refer to the pH scale to see if the substance is basic or acidic.
