Salt water has a greater density than fresh water. if an egg sinks to the bottom in a container of fresh water, what can you do to make the egg float?
a.
remove some fresh water.
b.
add some fresh water.
c.
add salt to the fresh water.
d.
soft-boil the egg.

Jewelweed, a flowering plant, has seed pods that burst open when touched and forcefully eject their seeds. these structures are favorable because they a. can cause genetic changes to occur. b. prevent germination within the seed pod. c. aid in the dispersal of the species. d. attract insects that aid in pollination.

Problem #3 (ch. 1, problem 15)the ideal gas law provides one way to estimate the pressure exerted by a gas on a container. the law isí‘ťí‘ť=푛푛푛푛푛푛푉푉mo re accurate estimates can be made with the van der waals equationí‘ťí‘ť=í‘›í‘›í‘›í‘›í‘›í‘›í‘ ‰í‘‰â’푛푛푟푟â’푞푞푛푛2í‘ ‰í‘‰2where the term nb is a correction for the volume of the molecules and the term an2/v2is a correction for molecular attractions. the values of a and b depend on the type of gas. the gas constant is r, the absolutetemperature is t, the gas volume is v, and the number of moles of gas molecules is indicated by n. if n = 1 mol of an ideal gas were confined to a volume of v = 22.41 l at a temperature of 0â°c (273.2k), it would exert a pressure of 1 atm. in these units, r = 0.0826.for chlorine gas (cl2), a = 6.49 and b = 0.0562. compare the pressure estimates given by the ideal gas law and the van der waals equation for 1 mol of cl2 in 22.41 l at 273.2 k. what is the main cause of the difference in the two pressure estimates, the molecular volume or the molecular attractions?

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and explain your predictions. how does temperature affect the spontaneity of this process?
