(a)
Interpretation:
The given observation should be reported either as qualitative or quantitative.
Concept introduction:
Qualitative: The quality of something rather than its quantity. A property that can be observed but not measured numerically.
Quantitative: A property that can be measured numerically and to determine the amount or proportions of its chemical constituents.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given observation should be reported either as intensive property or extensive property.
Concept introduction:
Intensive property: A physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or amount of material in the system. Intensive properties can be used to identify the substance.
Extensive property: A physical property of a system that does depend on the system size or amount of material in the system.
(c)
Interpretation:
The volume has to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Density:
Density can be defined as property that links mass of an object to its volume. It derived quantity and its unit is

- 1. (a) How many kilometers/min does a car go if it goes 52 miles/hour? (b) What number of inches is 0.09 miles? (c) What number of μm are in 1.116 cm?arrow_forwardContainer A and Container B were filled completely with chicken powder. The total mass of 1/3 of the chicken powder in Container B and 1/11 of the chicken powder in Container A was 570 g. If 5/11 of the chicken powder in Container A was poured out, the total mass of the chicken powder in both containers became 2.28 kg. How much chicken powder was in (a) Container A in grams? (b) Container B in grams?arrow_forwardA group of students took turns using a laboratory balanceto weigh the water contained in a beaker. The results theyreported were 111.42 g, 111.67 g, 111.21 g, 135.64 g,111.02 g, 111.29 g, and 111.42 g.(a) Should any of the data be excluded before the average is calculated?(b) From the remaining measurements, calculate the average value of the mass of the water in the beaker.(c) Calculate the standard deviation s and, from it, the 95% confidence limit.arrow_forward
- (a) Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas because it binds very strongly to the oxygen carrier hemoglobin in blood. A concentration of 8.00 × 102 ppm by volume of carbon monoxide is considered lethal to humans. Calculate the volume in liters occupied by carbon monoxide in a room that measures 17.6 m long, 8.80 m wide, and 2.64 m high at this concentration.(b) Prolonged exposure to mercury (Hg) vapor can cause neurological disorders and respiratory problems. For safe air quality control, the concentration of mercury vapor must be under 0.050 mg/m3 . Convert this number to g/L. (c) The general test for type II diabetes is that the blood sugar (glucose) level should be below 120 mg per deciliter (mg/dL). Convert this number to micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL).arrow_forward(a) The density of iron is 7.874g/cm^(3). Create two conversion factors from the density; (b) What is the volume of 38g of iron?arrow_forwardLight travels in a vacuum at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m s-1 .(a) Convert this speed to miles per second.(b) Express this speed in furlongs per fortnight, a littleused unit of speed. (A furlong, a distance used in horse racing, is 660 ft; a fortnight is exactly 2 weeks.)arrow_forward

- Methanol (CH3OH) is a liquid at room temperature with a density of 7.91 ×102 kg/m³. In a certain experiment, from the reaction of 2.91 mL of methanol with 2.88 g of oxygen, 2.27 g of carbon dioxide was obtained. (а) (b) What type(s) of chemical reaction is (are) occurring in this experiment? What equipment do you think was used to measure the volume of methanol in this experiment? Calculate the percent yield of the carbon dioxide in this experiment.
