Answer:

Glass that will sink

alkali zinc borosilicate with a density of 2.57 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.46 g/mL

potash soda lead with a density of 3.05 g/mL in a solution with a density of 1.65 g/mL

Glass that will float

soda borosilicate with a density of 2.27 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.62 g/mL

alkali strontium with a density of 2.26 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.34 g/mL

Glass that will not sink or float

potash borosilicate with a density of 2.16 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.16 g/mL

Explanation:

Density is the property of matter that states the ratio of the amount of matter, its mass, to the space occupied by it, its volume.

So, the mathematical expression for the density is:

density = mass / volume

By comparing the density of a material with the density of a liquid, you will be able to determine whether object will float, sink, or do neither when immersed in the liquid.

The greater the density of an object the more it will try to sink in the liquid.

As you must have experienced many times an inflatable ball (whose density is very low) will float in water, but a stone (whose denisty is greater) will sink in water.

The flotation condition may be summarized by:

When the density of the object < density of the liquid, the object will float

When the density of the object = density of the liquid: the object will neither float nor sink

When the density of the object > density of the liquid: the object will sink.

Glass that will sink

alkali zinc borosilicate with a density of 2.57 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.46 g/mL, because 2.57 > 2.46.

potash soda lead with a density of 3.05 g/mL in a solution with a density of 1.65 g/mL, because 3.05 > 1.65.

Glass that will float

soda borosilicate with a density of 2.27 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.62 g/mL, because 2.27 < 2.62.

alkali strontium with a density of 2.26 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.34 g/mL, because 2.26 < 2.34.

Glass that will not sink or float

potash borosilicate with a density of 2.16 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.16 g/mL, because 2.16 = 2.16

Calculate the freezing point of a 0.08500 m aqueous solution of nano3. the molal freezing-point-depression constant of water is

Citrus2011 [14]

Depression in freezing point (Δ $T_{f}$ ) = $K_{f}$ ×m×i,
where, $K_{f}$ = cryoscopic constant = $1.86^{0} C/m$ ,
m= molality of solution = 0.0085 m
i = van't Hoff factor = 2 (For $NaNO_{3}$ )

Thus, (Δ $T_{f}$ ) = 1.86 X 0.0085 X 2 = $0.03162^{0}C$

Now, (Δ $T_{f}$ ) = $T^{0}$ - T
Here, T = freezing point of solution
$T^{0}$ = freezing point of solvent = $0^{0}C$
Thus, T = $T^{0}$ - (Δ $T_{f}$ ) = - $0.03162^{0}C$

Explanation:

It is known that 1 gram contains 1000 milligrams. And, mathematically we can represent it as follows.

$\frac{1 g}{1000 mg}$ or $\frac{1000 mg}{1 g}$

So, when we have to convert grams into milligrams then we simply multiply the digit with 1000. And, if we have to convert a digit from milligrams to grams then we simply divide it by 1000.

Olin [163]

<h2>Selective & Differential Medium</h2>

Explanation:

Selective media allow specific types of organisms to develop, and inhibit the development of different living beings. The selectivity is cultivated in a few ways.For model, living beings that can use a given sugar are handily screened by making that sugar the main carbon source in the medium. On the other hand,selective hindrance of certain sorts of microorganisms can be accomplished by adding dyes, anti-infection agents, salts or explicit inhibitors which influence the digestion or enzyme systems of the living beings
Differential media are utilized to separate firmly related life forms or groups of living beings. owing to the pre of specific colors or synthetic compounds in the media, the creatures will deliver trademark changes or development designs that are utilized for ID or separation. An assortment of particular and differential media are utilized in clinical, demonstrative and water contamination research facilities, and in food and dairy laboratories
Selective media because elevated NaCI level is designed to help grow selective bacteria.differential media because the fermented sugar gives off a yellow halo which allows for differentiate between bacteria
