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

The net ionic equation of the reaction is:

  • Pb²⁺aq) + 2 I(aq) → PbI2(s)

<h3>What is a net ionic ionic equation?</h3>

A net ionic equation is an equation which shows only the ions that are involved in the formation of a product in the reaction as well as the product of the reaction alone. Spectator ions are omitted.

The net ionic equation of the reaction is given below:

Pb²⁺aq) + 2 I(aq) → PbI2(s)

In conclusion, a net ionic equation does not show spectator ions.

Which part of the amino acid helps identify features that differentiate one amino acid from another
Natasha_Volkova [10]
The part of the amino acid which helps to identify features that differentiate one amino acid from another is the SIDE CHAIN OF EACH AMINO ACID.
Amino acids are made up of five basic parts, these are:
1. A central carbon atom
2. A hydrogen atom
3. An amino group
4. A carboxyl group and 
5. A R group, also known as a side chain.
The side chain distinguishes one amino acid from the other; different amino acids have different side chains.
