- Dilution A chemist must dilute 22.0 mL of 45.9 μM aqueous magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) solution until the concentration falls to 39.0 μM. She'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in milliliters.

The student partially fills a graduated cylinder with water and measures the volume of the water by itself as 54.8 mL. The student then adds the metal to the water and measures the new volume as 87.3 mL. What is the density, in g/mL, of the metal?arrow_forwardA chemist mixes two liquids, A and B, to form a homogeneous mixture. The densities of the liquids are 2.0514 g/mL for A and 2.6678 g/mL for B. When she drops a small object into the mixture, she finds that the object becomes suspended in the liquid; that is, it neither sinks nor floats. If the mixture is made of 41.37 percent A and 58.63 percent B by volume, what is the density of the metal? Group of answer choices 2.413 g/mL 1.753 g/mL 2.691 g/mL 2.015 g/mL 1.913 g/mLarrow_forward

- please make sure the answer has the correct number of significant digitsarrow_forwardBud N. Chemist must determine the density of a mineral sample. His four trials yield densities of 5.27 g/cm3, 5.28 g/cm3, 5.27 g/cm3, and 5.29 g/cm3. Bud's calculated average density was 5.28 g/cm3. Independent studies found the correct density to be 4.75 g/cm3. Which of the following statements represents the best analysis of the data? Bud's results have much greater accuracy than precision Bud's results have low accuracy and low precision Bud's results have high accuracy and high precision Bud's results have much greater precision than accuracyarrow_forwardAn iceberg has a volume of 8365 ft^3 What is the mass in kilograms of the iceberg?
