What is the density of a solution with a mass of 116.1 ± 0.2 g and a volume of 96.3 ± 0.4 mL?
Your laboratory instructor has given you two metal cylinders. The mass of each sample was determined on a balance to five significant figures. The volume was determined by (a) measuring the dimensions of the cylinders and (b) immersing the samples in a graduated cylinder as shown in the figure below. The initial volume of water was 25.0 mL. The uncertainty of the volume measurement using the graduated cylinder is +/-0.1 mL. Cylinder A Cylinder B 40 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 Mass (g) Height (cm) Diameter (cm) Cylinder A 15.560 5.11 1.20 Cylinder B 35.536 5.90 1.30 Which statements are true about the number of significant figures in the volume measurements? The dimension method volume has one significant figure. The dimension method volume has two significant figures. The dimension method volume has three significant figures. The water displacement volume has one significant figure. The water displacement volume has two significant figures. The water displacement volume has three significant…

part a) A student measured the mass of an empty micropicnometer to be 2.000g. A student places 0.500mL of citric acid solution into a micropicnometer. The student reweighed the micropicnometer and found the mass of the citric acid solution and micropicnometer to be 2.525g. Calculate the density of the citric acid solution in g/ml. part b) A student measured the mass of an empty micropicnometer to be 2.000g. A student places 0.500mL of citric acid solution into a micropicnometer. The student reweighed the micropicnometer and found the mass of the citric acid solution and micropicnometer to be 2.525g. A student titrates 0.101mL of citric acid solution using the standardized 0.1M solution (use the exact concentration calculated from the previous titration problem). The sample required 0.819mL of NaOH solution to reach the end point. Given the following chemical equation. NaOH + H3C6H5O7 → Na+ + H2O + C6H5O73- Given the above information. Calculate the mass of citric…
A pycnometer is a glass flask with a tight fitting glass stopper that can be used to determine the density of an insoluble solid by measuring the volume of water ejected out of the pycnometer when sample of the solid is placed in it. Determine the density in g/cm³ of an unknown metal alloy sample from the following measurements. Assume the density of water is 1.000 g/cm³. Mass of clean pycnometer = 25.151 g Mass of clean pycnometer plus water = 42.481 g Mass of clean pycnometer plus metal sample = 39.105 g Mass of clean pycnometer plus metal plus water = 54.265 g (after ejected water is dried from the outside surface)
3. When a piece of metal weighing 108 g is submerged in water the volume changes from 36.9 mL to 49.2 mL. Calculate the density of this metal. 4. The accepted value for the density of a certain metal is 6.81 g/cm³ . Calculate the percent error in a laboratory measurement that gives a density value of 6.6 g/cm³ . Express this result in the proper number of significant figures.
Can someone give me the full solution with detailed explanation?The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. What is this value in kilograms per cubic meter?
A student places 14.8 mL of water in a graduated cylinder. The mass of the water and the graduated cylinder is found to be 41.721 grams, and then the balance is tared. After adding a number of metal pellets to the graduated cylinder, the liquid level in the cylinder is now 28.8 mL. The cylinder with the water and metal pellets is placed back on the balance, and the measured mass is 71.371 grams. Calculate the density of the metal pellets in g/mL. Do not include units in your answer.
A mountain hiker found a chunk of shiny metal on the trail. He wanted to find out the identity of the substance so he took the chunk of metal to the lab to determine the density. The hiker placed the metal on a balance and determined the mass. The hiker then took the metal and determined the volume by displacement. Determine the density and identity of the shiny metal. Describe how the hiker could determine this, describe the equipment and the procedure. be sure to show the work to calculate the value. mass 240.4 Ounces Initial Volume 65.3 Fluid Ounces Final Volume 87.9 Fluid Ounces Aluminum 2.70 g/mL Silver 10.5 g/mL Copper 8.96 g/mlL Gold 19.3 g/mL Titanium 4.54 g/mL Platinum 21.4 g/mL
