What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 245g block of copper at 285C is placed in a 145g aluminum calorimetery cup with 825g of water at 12C?
285C is above the boiling point of water at standard pressure. The block of copper will flash the water to steam, and the results of the experiment will be invalid.
If 10kg iron block put in sea water what will be the weight of the iron block?

When hydrogen gas passed over heated cupric oxide?
When hydrogen gas passed over heated cupric oxide, the hydrogen is oxidized and displaces copper from the copper oxide as metallic copper, because hydrogen is higher than copper in the electromotive series. Water vapor is also produced by the reaction.
A piece of iron on top of a piece wood floating in a bathtub If the iron is removed from the wood what happens to the water level in the tub?
This is a factor of many things, for example, the weight of the iron and the wood, the dimensions of the container and how much water there is, but generally the water will rise because if the item is on top of the water displaces its weight in water.
Can you float a block of steel in water?
Not as long as it's still in the shape of a block. But if you re-shape it into the shape of a cup ... whether round or rectangular ... it will float, because it displaces much more water than a block does. If your cup-shape is done artistically and with care, people may call it what it looks like ... a little "boat" or "ship". Those objects are usually made out of re-shaped blocks of steel.
Why does an iron block displaces more water than that of acopper block?
There's no reason to say that it always does that. It only does if it has more volumethan the copper block. If the copper block has more volume, then it displaces morewater than the iron block does.In fact, if you get a styrofoam block that's big enough, that can displace more waterthan your iron block OR your copper block. It just has to be big enough.
What factors affect an objects ability to sink or float?
the water that it displaces (the amount of water it takes up in the water) is a factor. If the weight of an object is lighter than the weight of the amount of water it displaces, then, it floats. If the weight is higher than the weight of the water it displaces, then the object sinks.
A fish normally displaces its own what?
It displaces both it's own volume of water and weight of water.
What happends if the weight of an object is greather than the weight of the water?
I assume you mean "What happens if the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water it displaces." If so, the answer is simple, it sinks. If an objects weighs less than the weight of the water it displaces, it floats.
What will happen if the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces?
It will sink.
When will an object sink in water according to Archimede's principle?
When its weight is greater than the weight of water it displaces
A block is placed in a tank of water and floats as shown The water level rises to height Δh1 The block is then taken out and a block of the same weight but smaller volume that also floats is placed?
Archimedes principle states that a floating body displaces its own weight of water. The density of the water is fixed so the volume displaced by a floating body is is the same for floating bodies of the same weight. The water level will still be delta h1 as the volume of the block is not relevant to the amount of water displaced.
Achimedes ' principle?
Archimedes principle states that any immersed body in a fluid will experience a buoyant force which is equal to the weight of fluid displaced by it and always acts upwards through the centroid of displaced volume. Note that if the object weight less than the wieght of water it displaces, it will float. If it is heavier than the weight of water it displaces, it will sink but its apparent weight in water will be its in-air weight minus the weight of the water it displaces.

How do you weight a ship?
Archimedes principle. See how much water it displaces.
What is the apparent weight for a body floating in water equal to?
if its floating, its zero : weight or force = upthrust from water note: upthrust from water = weight of water displaced
Why the sailboat floats on the sea?
The weight of the sail boat is less than the weight of the water it displaces. That is its density is less than that of water.
