Will an object with a density of $.7$ $g$$/cm^3$ float or sink in water?
Considering that at the same temperature the of water is $d=1g/(cm^3)$ which is greater than that of the object, therefore the object will float but not to the top surface...

The density of mercury is 5,427 $kg$$/m^3$. If the density of water is $1.0$ $g$$/mL$, will mercury float or sink in water?
The density, $rho$, of mercury $=$ $13,593*kg*m^-3$; it is $13.6*g*cm^-3$ in more accessible units. Anyway, mercury metal is pretty dense stuff. If you ever found a pool of mercury, you...

What determines it an object will float or sink in a fluid?
If $rho_"object">rho_"fluid"$ the object SINKS... If $rho_"fluid">rho_"object"$ the object FLOATS.. The human body is more or less composed of water. And we more or less can float on fresh water....

How do you calculate the height of a column of carbon tetrachloride, $C Cl_4$(l), with a density of 1.59 g/mL that exerts the same pressure as a 15.2 cm column of Mercury, $Hg$(l), that has a density of 13.6 g/ml?
The pressure caused by the fluid is given by: $sf(P=rhogh)$ $sf(rho)$ is the $sf(g)$ is the acceleration due to gravity $sf(h)$ is the height of the column Since the...

What makes an object sink or float in the water?
If an object is more dense than water, it will sink. If it's less dense than water, it will float. Gold would sink because of its higher density, but pumice...

A block of wood has a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 150 mL. Water has a density of 1 g/mL. Will the block of wood float or sink?
The formula we are going to use is $rho=m/V$ => where $rho$ is the in $g/mL$, $m$ is the mass in grams, and $V$ is the volume in $mL$....

A beaker whose mass was $345.8*g$ was filled with a $225*mL$ volume of carbon tetrachloride, to give a combined mass of $703.55*g$. Given these data, what is $rho_"carbon tetrachloride"$?
And so we put the given numbers in: $rho_"carbon tetrachloride"=(703.55*g-345.8*g)/(225*mL)=??g*mL^-1$ Because $1*g*mL^-1=1xx10^-3kg*(10^-3L)^-1=1xx10^-3kgxx10^3*L^-1=kg*L^-1$, the $"density"$ has the same figures in $kg*L^-1$. $"Carbon tetrachloride"$ will form an immiscible layer with water. Will...

Compared to a low-density spherical particle, a high-density spherical particle of the same size will sink through water at what rate?
Stokes' Law Stokes' law states that the settling velocity $v$ of small spheres in a fluid is given by $v = (gd^2(ρ_p - ρ_f))/(18eta)$ where $g$ = the gravitational...

Carbon has a third isotope, named carbon-13. How many protons and neutrons are found in each atom of carbon-13. Carbon-13 is a stable isotope, like carbon-12. How useful would carbon-13 be for radiometric dating?
This is called the of the element. To make it up to 13 in carbon-13, you will need 7 neutrons. Stable isotopes are not useful at all in radio-dating,...

Would mixtures of the following species be mutually soluble: $(i)$ potassium chloride, and methane; $(ii)$ $KCl$, and carbon tetrachloride; $(iii)$ potassium chloride, and water; $(iv)$ methane, and carbon tetrachloride; $(v)$ methane, and water?
$"1. Potassium chloride and methane"$, a volatile hydrocarbon, and an ionic solid. NOT MUTUALLY SOLUBLE. $"2. Potassium chloride and carbon tetrachloride"$, another (less) volatile hydrocarbon, and an ionic solid. NO....
