Which of the following statements best explains why ice floats on water

Chemistry

enot [183]3 years ago

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Ice is about 9% less dense. When ice forms, it takes up about 9% more space than it did as a liquid. Thus, a 1 liter container of ice weighs less than a 1 liter container of liquid water, and the lighter material floats to the top.

So the ice weighs less than the water whitch allowed it to float if the ice was heavier it wouldent work out because there would be more ice than water

Consider the following two substances andtheir vapor pressures at 298 \rm K.Substance Vapor pressure (\rm mmHg) A 275 B 459Based
Dafna11 [192]

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by vapors or gas on the surface of a liquid is known as vapor pressure.

This means that weaker is the intermolecular forces present in a substance more easily it can form vapors. As a result, it will have high vapor pressure.

As substance B has high vapor pressure which means that it has weak intermolecular forces.

Also, stronger is the intermolecular forces present in a substance more will be its boiling point. Hence, more energy or temperature is required to break the bonds. Hence, substance A has higher boiling point and high heat of vaporization.

When surrounding pressure is less than or equal to its vapor pressure then substance B boils into the gas phase. Hence, substance B will be a gas at 300 mm Hg.

Therefore, we can conclude that characteristics of the two substances will be as follows.

(a) Substance B - has weaker intermoclcular

(b) Substance A - has a higher boiling point

(c) Substance B - is a gas at 300 mm Hg

(d) Substance A - has a higher heat of vaporization

Use the nuclear decay reaction in the picture to answer the following question.
allsm [11]

Answer:

1a. Both sides of the decay reaction have the same charge.

b. The number of nucleons on both sides are the same.

2. The binding energy of one mole of the atom is 17.172 × 10^{16} J.

Explanation:

1a. Considering the two sides of the decay reaction and with respect to the law of conservation of charge, it can be observed that both sides have the same charge. Charge can not be created or destroyed in the process.

b. The number of nucleons on both sides are equal. No nucleon is created or destroyed in the process.

2. Binding energy is the minimum energy required to separate an atom into its nucleons. From Einstein's energy equation;

             E = Δmc^{2}

Where E is the binding energy of the atom, Δm is the mass defect and c is the speed of light.

Given that: Δm = 1.908 g/mol and c = 3 × 10^{8}. So that:

           E = 1.908 × (3*10^{8}) ^{2}

              = 1.908 × 9 × 10^{16}

              = 17.172 × 10^{16} J

The binding energy of one mole of the atom is 17.172 × 10^{16} J.

Starting in the mouth, food follows a pathway through the digestive system. Describe how the mouth is involved in both mechanica
Rudiy27

Answer:

The mouth uses both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down the food into smaller pieces (using the jaw/teeth). However, chemical digestion then takes over and starts breaking down the food into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells using saliva, which is naturally made within the mouth.

Hope this helps you! Have a great day! :D
