- A 124-g sample of a pure liquid, liquid A, with a density of 3.00 g/mL is mixed with a 40.8-mL sample of a pure liquid, liquid B, with a density of 2.00 g/mL. What is the total volume of the mixture? (Assume there is no reaction upon the mixing of A and B, and volumes are additive.)arrow_forwardA 15.5 g sample of sodium carbonate is added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 19.7 g. The two substances react, releasing carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere. After reaction, the contents of the reaction vessel weigh 28.7 g. What is the mass of carbon dioxide given off during the reaction?arrow_forwardVanadium metal is added to steel to impart strength. The density of vanadium is 5.96 g/cm3. Express this in SI units (kg/m3).arrow_forward
- What instrument would you use to (a) measure the length of your bed? (b) measure the amount of acid delivered by a beaker? (c) determine whether you have a fever?arrow_forwardAlthough the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?arrow_forwardThe radius of an atom of gold (Au) is about 1.35 Å. Part A: Express this distance in nanometers (nm). Express your answer using three significant figures. Part B: Express this distance in picometers (pm). Express your answer using three significant figures. Part C: How many gold atoms would have to be lined up to span 9.5 mm? Express your answer using two significant figures. Part D: If the atom is assumed to be a sphere, what is the volume in cm3 of a single Au atom? Express your answer using three significant figures.arrow_forward
- During the experiment, the mass of original sample was 2.226 g, and the mass of copper obtained was 1.239 g. Based on these numbers, calculate the mass of chlorine in the original sample in grams. Include the unit and the three decimal places in your answer.arrow_forwardA sample of unknown liquid is poured into a graduated cylinder and the volume of the unknown is 23.5 mL. The liquid used to fill the cylinder weighs 98.4g. From this information, calculate the density of this unknown liquid.arrow_forwarda zinc rod is immersed in a silver nitrate solution. The rod was taken out of the solution and weighed. Its mass had increased by 1.5g. Calculate how much the silver layer weighed.arrow_forward
- Density of a Solid Material Water was poured into a 25-ml graduated cylinder (Figure A). Into it was placed a sample of solid material weighing 25.867 g, resulting in the rise of the water (Figure B). Determine the density of the liquid material. Report all quantitative data with the proper number of significant figures. Don't forget to write the units. ml ml. 25 25 20 20 15 15 10 Fill the table. Show your solutions.

Avg body contains 11 pints, how many grams glucose. 1 pt = 473.176473 mlarrow_forward3. 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.arrow_forward
