Chapter 1, Problem 97RQ
Density measurements can be used to analyze mixtures. For example, the density of solid sand (without air spaces) is about 2.84 g/mL. The density of gold is 19.3 g/mL. If a 1.00 kg sample of sand containing some gold has a density of 3.10 g/mL (without air spaces), what is the percentage of gold in the sample?

Combining one atom of carbon with two atoms of oxygen produces one molecule of
carbon dioxide, along with 6.5 x 10-19 J of energy. In 2019, the United States
burned enough coal to supply 1.1 x 1019 J of energy. Assuming that coal is roughly
100% carbon, how many molecules of carbon dioxide did the U.S. produce by
burning coal in 2019?
Less than 1036 molecules of carbon dioxide.
Between 1036 and 1038 molecules of carbon dioxide.
Between 1038 and 1040 molecules of carbon dioxide.
More than 1040 molecules of carbon dioxide.

- When 12.6 g calcium carbonate (the principal component of chalk) is treated with 63.0 mL hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid sold in hardware stores; density = 1.096 g/mL), the calcium carbonate reacts with the acid, goes into solution, and carbon dioxide gas bubbles out of the solution.

- On October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forward3.37 If atypical grain of sand occupies a volume of 1.3 × 10-4 cm3, what is the volume (in cm3) of 1 mole of sand (ignoring the space between grains)?
