- A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, she used the ideas just developed in class about density. She measured the mass of the metal to be 197 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 17.2 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal.arrow_forwardWhat is the minimum mass of galena (PbS), a lead ore, from which 90.0 g of pure lead could be extracted? Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and is rounded to 3 significant digits. 0 x10 X Śarrow_forward2000 00010 A student has been asked to calculate the mass of an unknown liquid. He used a 10.00 mL volumetric pipet and did 4 consecutive trials. His masses were 10.356 g, 10.423 g, 10.389 g, and 10.721 g. Find the average mass and comment on accuracy and precision of his work based on data he obtained. 8T8.00arrow_forward
- A piece of lead weighing 23.814g is placed in ethyl alcohol in a graduated cylinder. The volume of the lead is 2.10cm ^3. The best value for density of lead from this data is:arrow_forwardA student determined in a set of four experiments that the density of magnesium metal was 1.66 g/ml,1.65 g/ml, 1.67 g/ml, 1.67 g/ml. The accepted value for its density is 1.72 g/ml. What can you concludeabout the precision and accuracy of the student’s data?arrow_forward1. What is the length of the rod shown below? 3 4 7 10 2. If Student A measures the volume of a liquid and reports its volume as 23.50 mL and Student B measures a different amount of the same liquid and reports its volume as 15.0 mL, is it likely that the students used the same measuring device? Yes or no? Explain your answer. 3. If you were asked to measure 25.0 mL of a liquid and to transfer it to another container, which of the following glassware could you use? Choose all that apply. Give reason(s). a) A 50-mL buret with smallest divisions of 0.1 mL b) A 50 mL beaker with smallest divisions of 10 mL c) A 50-mL volumetric flask d) A 50-mL graduated cylinder with smallest divisions of 1 mL e) A 25-mL pipet 4. A group of five students attempted to estimate 100 g of a substance by balancing the amount of the substance with a 100-g standard mass and obtained the following masses after each estimated amount was weighed: 95.8634 g, 80.8125 g, 106.5078 98.2865 and 86.4453 Create a data…arrow_forward

- A chemist must dilute 80.6 mL of 82.1 uM aqueous mercury(II) iodide (Hgl,) solution until the concentration falls to 31.0 µM. He'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.arrow_forwardLiquid Tylenol has 325 milligrams of acetaminophen per 12.5 milliliters of liquid medicine (a fact that would be commonly abbreviated as 325 mg/ 12.5 ml). It means that if you could pour Liquid Tylenol into a 12.5 milliliter cup and separate all of the ingredients, you would find that it contains 325 milligrams of acetaminophen (the active ingredient that relieves pain) along with some inactive ingredients like flavorings. The doctor orders 260 milligrams of acetaminophen for a patient. If the patient takes the medicine in the form of Liquid Tylenol, how many milliliters of Liquid Tylenol would he need to take to get the prescribed amount of acetaminophen?arrow_forwardA student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement. ( The ? stands for a number the student is going to calculate.) Fill in the missing part of this equation. Note: your answer should be in the form of one or more fractions multiplied together(6.2×10^4 Pa×cm^3)× =?kPa×m^3arrow_forward
