Sofia is trying to find the density of a 25.0 g irregularly shaped solid. She filled a graduated cylinder with 25.0 mL of water.

After adding the solid the water rises to 56.5 mL. What is the density of the solid? Does this solid float or sink in water

The volume of the solid is
56.5 ml - 25 ml = 31.5 ml
The mass of the solid = 25g
So the density is Mass/ Volume
25/ 31.5 = 0.79 g/ml

Since the solid has a lower density (0.79 g/ml) than the density of water (1g/ml) it will float on water

Answer:  Density:  0.794 g/ml.  It would float.

Explanation:  The mass of 25.0 grams displaces (56.5 - 25.0) = 31.5 ml of water, it's volume (when submerged).  Density is mass per unit volume:

25.0 grams/31.5 ml = 0.794 g/ml

Water's density is 1 g/ml, so this obect would float.  (Don't ask me why it displaced 31.5 ml.  It won't unless it is pushed down, then the volume of the finger needs to be determined and subtracted from the calculated volume.

Boyle’s Law illustrates the inverse relationship of volume and pressure. It follows the formula  p1V1 = P2V2 , where P1V1 denotes initial pressure and volume  and P2V2 denotes values of pressure and  volume.

Now, let us work out for what is asked above.
a. if the pressure is doubled
50.0 p = V x 2p 
V = 50.0 p / 2p

= 50.0 /2

= 25.0 m^3 
b. if the pressure is cut in half
50.0 p = V x p/2 
100 p = V x p 
V = 100 m^3 
c. if the pressure is tripled
50.0 p = V x 3p 
V = 50.0 p / 3p

= 50.0 /3

=16.7 m^3

Why must sample spots be above the solvent in paper chromatography
marishachu [46]
Because if they are submerged in the solvent, they would dissolve! This would prevent them from seperating and not allow you to actually record anything

Covalent bonds are formed when 2 neutral atoms come together to share a pair of electrons, where each atom contributes one electron each to be shared.

The covalent bond is kept together by the electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of the atoms and the shared pair of electrons.

Covalent bonds are usually formed between non metals with a small difference in their electro negativity.

the correct answer is

A. Neutral atoms coming together to share electrons
