2. Is there a pattern between the density of the objects and their ability to float or sink? Explain.

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. 2. If something's density is lesser than the water's density, then it will float on water's surface, otherwise it will sink.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
