Answer: The solid metal has a density of 22.5176 g/cm

Explanation:

Based on the information provided;

mass of the solid metal is 255 g

the weight of the cylinder along with its contents decreased by 101 g

it is also stated that the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm³

The volume occupied by the solid metal is equal to the volume of mercury that was missing during the initial measurement

let's denote the volume as Vcm³

The mass of mercury that was missing during the first measurement can be calculated as density multiplied by volume

= 13.6 g/cm³ × Vcm³ = 13.6V g

Given the cylinder and its contents lost 101 g in weight,

the difference in mass between the solid and the mercury must equal 101 g

therefore,

255 - 13.6V g = 101g

13.6V g = 255 g - 101 g

13.6V = 154

V = 154 / 13.6

V = 11.3245 cm³

The density of the solid metal can then be found by;

⇒ mass / volume

= 255 / 11.3245

= 22.5176 g/cm

Thus, the density of the solid metal equals 22.5176 g/cm

Hydrogen gas has a density of 0.090 g/L, and at normal pressure and -1.72 C one mole of it takes up 22.4 L. How would you calcul
Anarel [852]

Answer:

n= \frac{m}{ \rho }* \frac{1 mol}{22.4 L}

Explanation:

Assuming all calculations occur at standard pressure and a temperature of -1.72°C :

n= \frac{m}{ \rho }* \frac{1 mol}{22.4 L}

Where

n is the number of moles of hydrogen

n is the mass of hydrogen

\rho is the density of hydrogen

The boiling point of another member of this homologous series was found to be 309 KK. What is the likely molecular formula for t
KiRa [982]

Answer: Pentane C5H12

Explanation:

The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which a liquid's vapor pressure matches the external pressure, causing the liquid to turn into vapor.

This compound is likely Pentane, represented as C5H12, since its boiling point falls between that of Butane, with the formula C4H10, and Hexane, with the formula C6H14.

A 25.0-g sample of ice at -6.5oC is removed from the freezer and allowed to warm until it melts. Given the data below, select al
KiRa [982]

Answer:

B, D

Explanation:

We need to recognize that the ice will rise in temperature from -6.5 ºC to 0 ºC for it to change into water.

Let's define q₁ as the heat needed to warm the ice to 0ºC, and q₂ as the heat for the transition from solid to liquid.

The calculation for q₁ is as follows:

q₁ = s x m x ΔT, where s represents the specific heat of ice (2.09 J/gºC), m is the mass, and ΔT is the temperature difference.

For q₂, the enthalpy of fusion is computed as:

q₂ = C x ΔT

with C indicating the specific heat for the phase transition, denoted as AH in kJ/mol.

All necessary data for computing q₁, q₂, and the total heat change (q₁ + q₂) is provided.

q₁ = 25.0 g x (2.09 J/gºC) x (0 - (-6.5 ºC))

q₁ = 339.6 J = 0.339 kJ

q₂ = (25 g/18 g/mol) x 6.02 kJ/mol = 1.39 x 6.02 kJ = 8.36 kJ

Combining these values gives us qtotal = 0.339 kJ + 8.36 kJ = 8.70 kJ.

Now we can answer the question:

(a) False, AH refers to the heat capacity during melting.

(b) True, as we concluded earlier.

(c) False, there’s only one phase transition from solid (ice) to liquid.

(d) True based on our calculations above.

(e) False, according to our findings.

A food worker had safely cooled a large pot of soup to 70 F (21 C) with two hours. What temperature must the soup Reach in the f
lorasvet [965]

After four hours of cooling, the soup reached a temperature of 140 F (or) 42 C.

Explanation:

A food worker allowed a cup of soup to cool for two hours,

step 1: The temperature attained in two hours is 70 F (or) 21 C

step 2: Consequently, in four hours, this doubles the value

Therefore, the temperature after four hours is 2(70)= 140 F (or) 2(21)= 42 C

eduard [944]

Given:

Some statements.

To Find:

Identifying the SI units for each case.

Solution:

1) The unit is seconds, represented as seconds.

2) The unit of mass is kilograms (kg). (Note: pounds are not used because the S.I unit is kg)

3) In discussing length, the unit is the meter.

4) The SI unit for volume is meter³.

<pTherefore, this constitutes the required solution.
