- O MEASUREMENT Adding or subtracting and multiplying or dividing measurements A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide. The concentration of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution. Here's how the student prepared the solution: • The label on the graduated cylinder says: empty weight: 1.5 g • She put some solid sodium hydroxide into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the sodium hydroxide added, the cylinder weighed 36.669 g. • She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the sodium hydroxide completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 37.11 mL. What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. g mL Explanation -1 Check 99+ 0/5 VUDU © 2023 McGraw Hill LLC.

- Blood alcohol content is a measure of alcohol in the blood as a percentage. It is calculated in grams per 100 mL of blood, so a BAC of 0.08 means your blood is 0.08% alcohol by volume. what is the total mass of alcohol (in grams) that is present for the same adult male whose total blood volume is 5.6L?arrow_forwardEarth's oceans have an average depth of 3800 m, a total area of 3.63 x 10 km², and an average concentration of dissolved gold of 5.8 × 10.

- About two centuries ago, Benjamin Franklin showed that 1teaspoon of oil would cover about 0.5 acre of still water. If you know that 1.0 x 104 m2= 2.47 acres and that there is approximately 5 cm3 in a teaspoon, what is the thickness of the 0.5-acre layer of oil? How might this thickness be related to the sizes of molecules?arrow_forwardOne half tsp of table salt (NaCl) weighs aproximately 2.0 grams. (You will need to look up the molar mass for NaCl) There are approximately 237 ml in a cup. Determine the Molarity of the solution 1 cup water with one half tsp table salt. Determine the molarity of this solution using the formula M=g/MM/L. What is the molarity? Show your calculations. (Remember to convert 237 mL to L)arrow_forwardYour 50 mL beaker has a mass of 5.85 g. You add 10.00 mL to the 50 mL beaker and now the total mass is 16.05 g. You originally used 5.29 g of NaCl to make the solution. What is the percent composition of your solution?arrow_forward
- An analytical chemist weighs out 0.264 g of an unknown diprotic acid into a 250 mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. He then titrates this solution with 0.1900M NAOH solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the chemist finds he has added 18.5 mL of NaOH solution. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown acid. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. x10 molarrow_forwardA 15000 L tailings pond at a mine site was analyzed for cadmium contamination. First, a 25.0 mL sample of water was removed from the pond. Then the solution was evaporated to dryness, and 56.1 mg of cadmium was recovered (the identity of the metal was confirmed through other methods). Assuming the water is homogeneously distributed throughout the pond, what is the concentration of cadmium in the tailings pond?arrow_forward
