(a)
Interpretation:
To determine density of wood.
Concept introduction:
Archimedes’ principle states that a body which is at rest and placed in a fluid in such a manner that when it is submerged completely or partially then a buoyant force will act in the upward direction whose magnitude will be equal to the weight of displaced fluid.
As surrounding fluid is of uniform density so, the weight of displaced fluid is equal to the volume of the displaced fluid. It concludes that the mass of displaced fluid is equal to mass of object immersed in the fluid. The object immersed in fluid in this case is the cylinder. So, mass of displaced fluid is equal to mass of the cylinder.
(b)
Interpretation:
To determine the liquid density.
Concept introduction:
Archimedes’ principle states that a body which is at rest and placed in a fluid in such a manner that when it is submerged completely or partially then a buoyant force will act in the upward direction whose magnitude will be equal to the weight of displaced fluid.
As surrounding fluid is of uniform density so, the weight of displaced fluid is equal to the volume of the displaced fluid. It concludes that the mass of displaced fluid is equal to mass of object immersed in the fluid. The object immersed in fluid in this case is the cylinder. So, mass of displaced fluid is equal to mass of the cylinder.
(c)
Interpretation:
To explain why knowing length and width of the wooden object is unnecessary

- In our chemistry laboratory class, the formula for surface tension given is y=mg/2(pi) x r x f where y=surface tension, m= mass of the drop, g= gravitational acceleration, pi is 3.1415, r= outer radius of burette, f=correction factor. Now I searched the internet and it says that the unit for surface tension is kg x m/s^2. The problem is I have grams for the mass of the drop and that the outer radius of the burette is in centimeter while the gravitational acceleration is in meter. What will happen is like this: (1 g x 9.8 m/s^2) / 2 (3.1415) x 0.15 cm x 0.74643 (correction factor no unit) As you can see, if I don't cancel m and cm, the unit will be g x cm x m x s^2. However if change the radius of the burette into meter, it will cancel, the unit will be g x s^2 (missing meter). What can I do to get kg x m/s^2 as the unit for final answer?arrow_forwardA pheromone is a type of volatile compound produced by a variety of insect species for chemical communication. These molecules can be used to signal alarm, to attract a mate, or to indicate the presence of food. The presence of 1.00 x 10-8 g of a pheromone can be sensed by another insect within a radius of 0.500 miles. Calculate the density of this pheromone.

- A student calibrated a eudiometer by first recording the mass of the empty eudiometer followed by filling the eudiometer to the 50.00 mL line with deionized water at 22°C and recorded the mass. The mass of water was 49.012 g. What measured reading from the eudiometer would correspond to a true volume of 47.89mL?arrow_forwardA study is being performed to see if there is a correlation between the concentration of chromium in the blood and a suspected disease. Blood samples from a group of volunteers with history of the disease are analyzed and compared with the results from the healthy control subjects. From the following results (Table 1), determine whether the differences between the two groups can be ascribed as chance or whether they are real at 95% confident level.arrow_forwardA glass vessel weighed 20.2376 g when empty and 20.3102 g when filled to an etched mark with water at 4 °C. The same was dried and filled to the same mark with a solution at 4 °C. The vessel was then found to weigh 20.3300 g. What is the density of the solution?arrow_forward
