Shontal compared some of the properties of a marble to a piece of wood. She placed a marble and a piece of wood in a bucket filled
with water. Shontal observed the wood floating on top of the water,
but the marble sank to the bottom of the bucket. Which statement
best explains why the marble and piece of wood acted differently in
the water?

The piece of wood was less dense than the water.

Explanation:

When an object has a lower density than water, it will float on the water.

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
