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

34. Given the fact that the concentrations of reactants and
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The word dynamic is used to describe chemical equilibrium because even though the concentration of reactants and products remains constant, the reaction does not stop, but still continues with the rate of forward reaction equal to the rate of backward reaction. This is opposed to static equilibrium where there is no reaction at all.

Hope this helps you out!

What are the coefficients of the compounds after balancing the following equation and what type of reaction is this?
Oksana_A [137]

The coefficient of Fe would be 2, the coefficient of Cl2 would be 3, while the coefficient of FeCl2 would be 2.  

The balanced equation of the reaction would be as follows:

2Fe(S) + 3Cl_2 ---> 2FeCl_3(S)

Thus, the coefficients of Fe, Cl2, and FeCl3 respectively would be 2, 3, and 2.

In other words, 2 moles of Fe require 3 moles of Cl2 to produce 2 moles of FeCl3 in a complete reaction.

NH₄NO₃ → N₂O + 2H₂O When 45.70 g of NH₄NO₃ decomposes, what mass of each product is formed?
Anna007 [38]

Answer: 25.13 g of N_2O  and 20.56 g of H_2O will be produced from 45.70 g of NH_4NO_3

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} NH_4NO_3=\frac{45.70g}{80.04g/mol}=0.571moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2O+2H_2O  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of NH_4NO_3 produce = 1 mole of N_2O

Thus 0.571 moles of NH_4NO_3 will require=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.571=0.571moles  of N_2O  

Mass of N_2O=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.571moles\times 44.01g/mol=25.13g

1 mole of NH_4NO_3 produce = 2 moles of H_2O

Thus 0.571 moles of NH_4NO_3 will require=\frac{2}{1}\times 0.571=1.142moles  of H_2O  

Mass of H_2O=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=1.142moles\times 18g/mol=20.56g

Thus 25.13 g of N_2O  and 20.56 g of H_2O will be produced from 45.70 g of NH_4NO_3
