(a)
Interpretation:
The number of square meters in 1 kilometer needs to be deduced.
Concept introduction:
A ‘unit of measurement’ is a standard that is used to express the quantity being measured. For example: The SI unit for measuring distance or length is meters (m).
Mass is measured in terms of kilograms (kg).
Conversion factors are numbers that convert one unit of measurement to the other without changing the actual value.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of cubic centimeters in 1 cubic meter needs to be deduced.

(b) How many moles are in a pound of hazelnut meats?arrow_forwardConsider the generic chemical equationaA+bBcC+dD (where a, b, c, and d represent coefficients for the chemicals A, B, C, and D, respectively). a. How many possible values are there for “c”? Explain your answer. b. How many possible values are there for “c/d”? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhat mass of HCl is contained in 45.0 mL of an aqueous HCl solution that has a density of 1.19 g cm-3 and contains 37.21% HCl by mass?arrow_forward
- Use the web to determine the differences in the amounts of aluminum recycled in states where there are deposits on aluminum cans versus states where recycling is voluntary. What is the most reliable way to estimate this value? mat uncertainty is there in the estimate?arrow_forwardWhen jump-starting a car with a dead battery, the ground jumper should be attached to a remote part of the engine block. Why?arrow_forwardWhen yeast is added to a solution of glucose or fructose, the sugars are said to undergo fermentation, and ethyl alcohol is produced. :math>C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) is is the reaction by which wines arc produced from grape juice. Calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH. Produced when 5.25 g of glucose, C6H12O6, undergoes this reaction.arrow_forward
- The units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass: ppm=gsolutegsolution=mgsolutekgsolution In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 g of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion. Calculate the molarity of each of the following aqueous solutions. a. 5.0 ppb Hg in H2O b. 1.0 ppb CHCl3 in H2O c. 10.0 ppm As in H2O d. 0.10 ppm DDT (C14H9Cl5) in H2Oarrow_forwardIn an accident, a solution containing 2.5 kg of nitric acid was spilled. Two kilograms of Na2CO3 was quickly spread on the area and CO2 was released by the reaction. Was sufficient Na2CO3 used to neutralize all of the acid?arrow_forwardAluminum-lithium (AI-Li) alloys have been developed by the aircraft industry to reduce the weight and improve the performance of its aircraft. A commercial aircraft skin material having a density of 2.65 g/cm? is desired. Compute the concentration of Li (in wt%) that is required. The densities of aluminum and lithium are 2.71 and 0.534 g/cm3, respectively.arrow_forward
- A sample of concentrated nitric acid has a density of1.41 g/mL and contains 70.0% HNO₃by mass.(a) What mass of HNO₃ is present per liter of solution?(b) What is the molarity of the solution?arrow_forward1.44 grams of a sample of marble (impure calcium carbonate) dissolved in 40 ml of 1.0 normality (N) of hydrochloric acid, then add an amount of distilled water to the resulting solution, and its volume became 100 ml, it was found that 25 ml of this resulting solution (mixture) needs 19 ml of 0.2 normality (N) NaOH solution. Calculate the normality (mole/L) of the mixture solution and then calculate the percentage of pure calcium carbonate in this sample. If you know that the molecular weight of pure calcium carbonate is 106 g/mol. *arrow_forward
