Question
The mass of an oven-dry sample of loose HMA paving mixture weighed in air is determined to be 3,060 grams. The mass of the HMA sample in a pycnometer filled with water at 23°C is determined to be 5,641 grams. If the pycnometer filled with only water at 23°C has a mass of 3,839 grams, what is the theoretical maximum specific gravity (Gmm) of the HMA paving mixture to two decimal places?

Kf = freezing point depression constant. Kb and Kf depend only on the SOLVENT. Below are some common values. Use these values for the calculations that follow. Solvent Formula Kb (°C / m) Kf (°C / m) Water H2O 0.512 -1.86 Ethanol CH3CH2OH 1.22 -1.99 Chloroform CHCl3 3.67 Benzene C6H6 2.53 -5.12 Diethyl ether CH3CH2OCH2CH3 2.02 *Please note that ΔT as defined above will be a negative number for freezing point depression. Therefore, Kf must also be given as a negative number.arrow_forwardAn open graduated cylinder at 25 °C is filled with mercury and water. The height of mercury is 7.0 cm and the water is 5.6 cm.

- Calculate density in the following cases : (a) Air (ideal gas) at temperature 0°C and pressure 2 atm (b) Helium (ideal gas) that fills a 10-m³ volume at temperature 25°C, whose gauge pressure reads 1.5 atm (c) Granular iron of spherical grains of average diameter D = 1mm packed in a 1-grain/mm3 arrangement (density of iron p = 9g/cm³). Assume that the void in each mm3 is filled with air. Discuss why the result is expected. Make the same computation if the average diameter of the spherical grains are D = 0.25 mm packed in a 64-grain/mm3 . Discuss why the result for the density of both arrangements is the same.arrow_forwardA bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods.arrow_forwardi need the answer quicklyarrow_forward
