A 0.8kg object displaces 500ml of water what is its specific gravity
worty [1.4K]

Specific gravity is the ratio of density of substance and density of water

We know that density of water = 1 g /mL at standard conditions

now as given that the 0.8 Kg of the substance / object is able to displace 500mL of water , it means that

Mass of object = 800g

The volume occupied by 800g of object = 500 mL

Density = mass / volume

Density of object = 800 / 500= 1.6 g / mL

The specific gravity of object = density of object  / density of water = 1.6 / 1 = 1.6 (no units)

The dissolution of ammonium nitrate occurs spontaneously in water at 25°C. As NH4NO, dissolves, the temperature of the water dec
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

ΔG <0 , ΔH > 0 , ΔS > 0 .

Explanation:

From the data given in question , the reaction is a spontaneous process , hence , the value of change in gibbs free energy would be negative , ΔG <0

And , on dissolution process , the temperature of the water decreases , i.e. , it is an endothermic process , i.e. , the change in enthalphy value is positive , ΔH > 0

And , during the process of dissolution , the ammonia salt break does to ions , i.e. , the randomness increases , hence the ΔS > 0

What is the difference between chemical change and physical change
Nadusha1986 [10]
In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed. Hope this helps!
