Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The surface area of two catalytic converters has to be calculated in
Concept Introduction:
Conversion-factor method is the one which can be used to convert one metric unit into another. With this, any unit can be converted to the another unit by means of ratio. The ratio that is used to convert unit is known as conversion-factor. For example, one kilogram can be converted into gram by multiplying with 1000.

The German chemist Fritz Haber proposed paying off the reparations imposed against Germany after World War I by extracting gold from seawater.
Given the following data, what was the dollar amount of the gold that could have been extracted from 3.0 m3 of seawater?
The price of gold at the time was $0.68 per gram of gold.
Gold occurs in seawater to the extent of 5.15 x 1011 atoms per gram of seawater.
The density of seawater is 1.03 g/cm3.
A sample of solid silver oxide with a mass of 11.4 grams was reduced to elemental silver by heating under a flow of methane gas, CH4. The reaction produced 10.6 grams of silver.
Write a balanced chemical reaction for the reaction between silver oxide and methane gas. The only products formed in the reaction are solid silver metal, carbon dioxide gas, and water vapor. Include the phases of each reactant and product.
A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 69.32 g.L The geochemist also measures the
concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes, and finds an average concentration of 5.02 g⋅L¯¹.
Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate
the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
