A sailor on a trans-Pacific solo voyage notices one day that if he puts 735.mL of fresh water into a plastic cup weighing 25.0g,

the cup floats in the seawater around his boat with the fresh water inside the cup at exactly the same level as the seawater outside the cup (see sketch at right).
Calculate the amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and round it to 2 significant digits.

You'll need to know that the density of fresh water at the temperature of the sea around the sailor is 0.999/gcm3. You'll also want to remember Archimedes' Principle, that objects float when they displace a mass of water equal to their own mass.

Answer:

Amount of salt in 1 L seawater = 34 g

Explanation:

According to Archimedes' principle, mass of freshwater and cup = mass of equal volume of seawater

mass of freshwater = density * volume

1 cm³ = 1 mL

mass of freshwater = 0.999 g/cm³ * 735 cm³ = 734.265 g

mass of freshwater + cup = 734.265 + 25 = 759.265 g

Therefore,  mass of equal volume of seawater = 759.265 g

Volume of seawater displaced = 735 mL = 0.735 L (assuming the cup volume is negligible)

1 liter = 1000 cm³ = 1000 mL;

Density of seawater = mass / volume

Density of seawater = 759.265 g / 0.735 L = 1033.01 g/L

Density of freshwater in g/L = 0.999 g/ (1/1000) L = 999 g/L

mass of 1 Liter seawater = 1033.01 g

mass of 1 Liter freshwater = 999 g

mass of salt dissolved in 1 L of seawater = 1033.01 g - 999 g = 34.01 g

Therefore, amount of salt in 1 L seawater = 34 g

a 125 g chunk of aluminum at 182 degrees Celsius was added to a bucket filled with 365 g of water at 22.0 degrees Celsius. Ignor
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

32.98°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Mass of Aluminium as 125 g

Initial temperature of Aluminium as 182°C

Mass of water as 265 g

Initial temperature of water as 22°C

We are required to calculate the final temperature of the two compounds;

First, we need to know the specific heat capacity of each;

Specific heat capacity of Aluminium is 0.9 J/g°C

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the Quantity of heat gained by water.</h3>

Assuming the final temperature is X°C

we know, Q = mcΔT

Change in temperature, ΔT = (X-22)°C

therefore;

Q = 365 g × 4.184 J/g°C × (X-22)°C

    = (1527.16X-33,597.52) Joules

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the quantity of heat released by Aluminium </h3>

Using the final temperature, X°C

Change in temperature, ΔT = -(X°- 182°)C (negative because heat was lost)

Therefore;

Q = 125 g × 0.90 J/g°C × (182°-X°)C

  = (20,475- 112.5X) Joules

<h3>Step 3: Calculating the final temperature</h3>

We need to know that the heat released by aluminium is equal to heat absorbed by water.

Therefore;

(20,475- 112.5X) Joules = (1527.16X-33,597.52) Joules

Combining the like terms;

1639.66X = 54072.52

             X = 32.978°C

                = 32.98°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the two compounds will be 32.98°C

Which of the following is more electronegative:
Firdavs [7]
The answer is 1) CF3
Because: the equivalent of Fluorine is -1 so it aims to get an electron so much. which means it's electronegative.
but the equivalent of Hydrogen is +1 so it aims to give an electron. which means it's electropositive.

Is h2c2o4 an Arrhenius base or arrhenius acid
maksim [4K]
Answer:
            Oxalic Acid is and Arrhenius Acid.

Explanation:
                   According to Arrhenius Theory of acid and base, "Acid is any substance which when dissolved in water produces H⁺ Ions".

Therefore, Oxalic Acid is a diprotic substance, which is capable of donating protons in water. This acidity of oxalic acid can be dedicated to the stability of conjugate base, this stability comes from resonance of the negative charges on Oxalate ion. Below reaction shows the dissociation of Oxalic Acid into Protons and Oxalate Ion.

In uncompetitive inhibition, the inhibitor can bind to the enzyme only after the substrate binds first. (T/F)
Veronika [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In an uncompetitive inhibition, initially the substrate [S] binds to the active site of the enzyme [E] and forms an enzyme-substrate activated complex [ES].

The inhibitor molecule then binds to the enzyme- substrate complex [ES], resulting in the formation of [ESI] complex, thereby inhibiting the reaction.

This inhibition is called uncompetitive because the inhibitor does not compete with the substrate to bind on the active site of the enzyme.

Therefore, in an uncompetitive inhibition, the inhibitor molecule can not bind on the active site of the enzyme directly. The inhibitor can only bind to the enzyme-substrate complex formed.
