AI Thread Summary
To calculate the volume of the ice cube submerged in the liquid, the mass of the ice cube (40.5g) is compared to the density of the liquid (1.36g/ml). The correct submerged volume is found by dividing the mass of the ice cube by the density of the liquid, resulting in approximately 29.8ml. This indicates that the mass of the displaced liquid equals the mass of the ice cube. The calculations confirm that the approach taken is correct.

Homework Statement




an ice cube with a volume of 45ml and a density of .9g/cm^3 floats in a liquid with a density of 1.36g/ml. What volume of the cube is submerged in the liquid.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I did 45ml(.9g/cm^3) = 40.5g then I divided this mass by the denisity of the liquid

and got 29.8mL is this correct if not what am i doing wrong.

Seems right to me. The mass of the cube should equal the mass of the displaced liquid.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
