A rectangular block floats in pure water with 0.5 inch above the surface and 1.5 inches below the surface. When placed in an aqu

eous solution, the block of material floats with 1 inch below the surface. Estimate the specific gravities of the block and the solution. (Suggestion: Call the horizontal crosssectional area of the block A. A should cancel in your calculations.)

Answer:

- the specific gravity of the block is 0.75

- the specific gravity of the solution is 1.5

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

first we find the specific gravity of a block SGB

SGB = ( block vol below / total block vol ) × the specific gravity of water

we substitute

SG_{BLOCK = ( 1.5 / (1.5 + 0.5 ) ) × 1

SG_{BLOCK = ( 1.5 / (1.5 + 0.5 ) ) × 1

SG_{BLOCK = (1.5 / 2) × 1

SG_{BLOCK = 0.75

Therefore, the specific gravity of the block is 0.75

specific gravity of solution SG_{SOLUTION

SG_{SOLUTION = (total block vol / block below ) × SG_{BLOCK

we substitute

SG_{SOLUTION = ( 2 / 1 ) × 0.75

SG_{SOLUTION = 2  × 0.75

SG_{SOLUTION = 1.5

Therefore, the specific gravity of the solution is 1.5

Based on the molecular structures of chloromethane and methane shown, a student makes the claim that a pure sample of chlorometh
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Yes, chloromethane has stronger intermolecular forces than a pure sample of methane has.

Explanation:

In both methane and chloromethane, there are weak dispersion forces. However, in methane, the dispersion forces are the only intermolecular forces present. Also, the lower molar mass of methane means that it has a lower degree of dispersion forces.

For chloromethane, there is in addition to dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interaction arising from the polar C-Cl bond in the molecule. Also the molar mass of chloromethane  is greater than that of methane implying a greater magnitude of dispersion forces in operation.

Therefore, chloromethane has stronger intermolecular forces than a pure sample of methane has.

Preserving food by freezing controls reaction rates by
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

D) both a and c are correct

Explanation:

The reaction rate is a measure of the speed of a chemical reaction. The factors that affects the rate of a chemical reaction are itemised below:

  • Nature of the reactants
  • Concentration of the reactants or pressure(if gaseous)
  • Temperature
  • Presence of catalyst
  • Sunlight

Our concern here is temperature. Temperature affects a reaction considerably. Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the reacting particles. When the temperature of a reacting system is increase, the frequency of ordinary and effective collisions per unit time increases. A decrease in temperature implies that the number of collisions also decreases.

1. The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape.<br> a. TRUE<br> O. FALSE
ira [324]

The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape is a FALSE statement.

An s orbital is so symmetric, more specifically spherically symmetric that it looks the same from all directions.

  • The atomic orbitals in the atoms of elements differ in shape.

In essence, the electrons they describe have varying probability distributions around the nucleus. The spherical symmetry of s orbitals is evident in the fact that all orbitals of a given shell in the hydrogen atom have the same energy.

  • All s orbitals are spherically symmetrical. Put simply, an electron that occupies an s orbital can be found with the same probability at any orientation (at a distance) from the nucleus.

The s orbitals are therefore represented by a spherical boundary surface which is a surface which captures a high proportion of the electron density.

35.2 J of heat is
ruslelena [56]

The specific heat : c = 0.306 J/g K

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Heat = 35.2 J

Mass = 16 g

Temperature difference : 7.2 K =

Required

The specific heat

Solution

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Input the value :

c = Q / m.∆T  

c = 35.2 / 16 x 7.2

c = 0.306 J/g K
