Answer:

Initially, the ballast tanks are filled with water. The weight of the submarine is equal to the upthrust of the water at the position of the submarine under water. When high pressure air is released into the ballast tanks displacing the water, the weight of the submarine becomes less than the upthrust of the water thus the net force is is upwards and it forces the sub to resurface. This is according to the Archimedes principle which states that a a body partially or wholly immersed in water displaces its own weight of the fluid in which it is immersed.

9 grams of hydrogen gas (H2) will SC Johnson need to react in order to make 1 bottle of Windex.

Explanation:

Balance equation for the formation of ammonia from H2 gas.

N2 + 3H2 ⇒ 2 $NH_{3}$

Given

mass of ammonia in 1 bottle of windex = 51 gram

atomic mass of ammonia 17.01 gram/mole

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

number of moles = $\frac{51}{17.01}$

= 3 moles of ammonia is formed.

in 1 bottle of windex there are 3 moles of ammonia 0r 51 grams of ammonia.

From the equation it can be found that:

3 moles of hydrogen reacted to form 2 moles of ammonia

so, x moles of hydrogen will react to form 3 moles of ammonia.

$\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{3}{x}$

x = 4.5 moles of hydrogen will be required.

to convert moles into gram formula used:

mass = atomic mass x number of moles (atomic mass of H2 is 2grams/mole)

= 2 x 4.5

= 9 grams of hydrogen.

If the length of a string increases 2 times but the mass of the string remains constant, the new density of the string will equa

Genrish500 [490]

If the length of a string increases 2 times but the mass of the string remains constant, the original density will be multiplied by a factor mathematically given as

v=1.414 times

<h3>Will the new density of the string equal the original density multiplied by what factor?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the volume is mathematically given as

v = sqt(TL/m)

Where

density = mass/length

Therefore

$v2/v1 = \sqrt{L2/L1}$

$v2/v1 = \sqrt{2}$

In conclusion,v ratio will give us

v=1.414 times

When a sodium (Na) atom forms an ion so that it looks like a noble gas with a full valence shell, what will its charge be?

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

I believe 1+

Explanation:

when Na loses 1 electron in the outer shell it has 8 valence protons on it's new most outer shell. so now it has 11 protons and 10 electrons. that extra proton (positively charged) adds one extra charge. so +1
