Ice usually forms on the top part of lakes not the bottom , the reason for this occurence is?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

Ice is less dense than water because of the way it forms a hexagonal crystalline structure. Each water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to the bottom of an oxygen atom. ... In the winter, temperatures in a lake get close enough to freezing that the colder water is less dense and floats to the top

A star is estimated to have a mass of 2.0 x 10 ^36kg. Assuming it to be a sphere of average radius of 7.0 x 10 ^5 km. Calculate

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a) 1.392 x 10^6 g/cm^3

b) 8.69 x 10^7 lb/ft^3

Explanation:

mass of the star m = 2.0 x 10^36 kg

radius of the star (assumed to be spherical) r = 7.0 x 10^5 km = 7.0 x 10^8 m

The density of substance ρ = mass/volume

The volume of the star = volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

==> V = $\frac{4}{3}*3.142*(7.0*10^8)^{3}$ = 1.437 x 10^27 m^3

density of the star ρ = (2.0 x 10^36)/(1.437 x 10^27) = 1.392 x 10^9 kg/m^3

in g/cm^3 = (1.392 x 10^9)/1000 = 1.392 x 10^6 g/cm^3

in lb/ft^3 = (1.392 x 10^9)/16.018 = 8.69 x 10^7 lb/ft^3

If two elements are in the same column what do they have in common

They have the same number of electrons in their outer shells. Elements in the same group often share similar chemical properties because the outer electrons generally determine a lot of their properties
