The m in the equation for density is
in italic type, meaning that it stands
for mass rather than for meters. In
general, the symbols for units such
as meters (m), seconds (s), or
kelvins (K) appear in regular type,
while those for variables such as
mass (m), volume (V), and time (t)
appear in italics.

- Zinc ore (zinc sulfide) is treated with sulfuric acid, leaving a solution with some undissolved bits of material and releasing hydrogen sulfide gas. If 10.8 g of zinc ore is treated with 50.0 mL of sulfuric arid (density 1.153 g/mL), 65.1 g of solution and undissolved material remains. In addition, hydrogen sulfide (density 1.393 g/L) is evolved.
