Answer:

By minimizing the height of the body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy

Explanation:

In hydrostatics, the equilibrium state of a floating body relates to either a maximum or minimum of the potential energy.An equilibrium is stable when the potential energy is minimum.Minimizing the height of the floating body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy attains a stable equilibrium configuration.

A 1.800-g sample of solid phenol (C6H5OH(s)) was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/?C. The temp

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation:

$C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)$

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 32.454 kJ/g

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 3,050 kJ/mol

Explanation:

$C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)$

Heat capacity of calorimeter = C = 11.66 kJ/°C

Initial temperature of the calorimeter = $T_1= 21.36^oC$

Final temperature of the calorimeter = $T_2= 26.37^oC$

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = Q

$Q=C\times \Delta T$

Heat released during reaction = Q'

Q' = -Q ( law of conservation of energy)

Energy released on combustion of 1.800 grams of phenol = Q' = -(58.4166 kJ)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

$\frac{Q'}{1.800 g}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ}{1.800 g}=32.454 kJ/g$

Molar mass of phenol = 94 g/mol

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

$\frac{Q'}{\frac{1.800 g}{94 g/mol}}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ\times 94 g/mol}{1.800 g}=3,050 kJ/mol$

STP is the abbreviation of standard condition for temperature and pressure which is 273.15K temperature and 1.013× 10^5 Pa pressure. Since the pressure and temperature changes, I assume the question would ask about the result of the volume. The temperature used in ideal gas should be Kelvin, so 27 Celcius would be 300.15K.
The calculation would be
PV=T
V=T/P

V2/V1= T2*P1/T1*P2
V2/V1=273.15K* 90^10^3Pa/ 300.15K * 1.013× 10^5 Pa
V2= 0.81904 * 51.7ml
V2= 42.34ml
