Why does the high pressure air being released into the ballast tanks of a submarine cause it to rise quickly?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]4 years ago
6 0

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.

Calculate the number of atoms in 2.8 moles of silicon atoms
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

<h2>1.686 × 10²⁴ atoms</h2>

Explanation:

The number of silicon atoms can be found by using the formula

<h3>N = n × L</h3>

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

N = 2.8 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.686 × 10²⁴ silicon atoms</h3>

Hope this helps you

How have ideas about the atom changed in the last two centureies?

In the past a scientist named dalton produced an atomic theory. There were certain problems regarding his views. So, later on scientists like chadwick, rutherford and thompson added some fresh light for the real identification of the atom.
dalton said the atom was the smallest unit and it CANNOT BE DIVIDED ANY FURTHER.
NOTE... this was renected with the discovery of the proton, neutron and electron as the sub atomic particles.
