What is the density of 18.0-karat gold that is a mixture of 18 parts gold, 5 parts silver, and 1 part copper? (These values are parts by mass, not volume.) Assume that this is a simple mixture having an average density equal to the weighted densities of its constituents.
(a) Find the average time required for an oxygen molecule to diffuse through a 0.200-mm-thick tear layer on the cornea. (b) How much time is required to diffuse 0.500 cm3 of oxygen to the cornea if its surface area is 1.00 cm2?
1. In Section 4.1 in the description of matter, the following terms were introduced: elements, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, nucleus, molecules, mixtures, and solutions. Create a concept map explaining the composition of matter by appropriately organizing and linking these concepts to form meaningful propositions. After completing your concept map, compare your map with that of a classmate or the instructor. Are they same? Should they be? Discuss the similarities and differences that you find between the maps.
Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.
em>. The volume of an ideal gas enclosed in a thin, elastic membrane in a room at sea level where the air temperature is 18°C is 8 10-3 m3 .If the temperature of the room is increased by 10°C, what is the new volume of the gas?
The law of atmospheres states that the number density of molecules in the atmosphere depends on height y above sea level according to nV(y)=n0en0gy/kaT where n0 is the number density at sea level (where y = 0). The average height of a molecule in the Earths atmosphere is given by yavg=0ynV(y)dy0nV(y)dy=0yen0gy/kaTdy0en0gy/kaTdy (a) Prove that this average height is equal to kBT/m0g. (b) Evaluate the average height, assuming the temperature is 10.0C and the molecular mass is 28.9 u, both uniform throughout the atmosphere.
(a) The density of water at 0C is very nearly 1000kg/m3 (it is actually 999.84kg/m3 ), whereas the density of ice at 0C is 917kg/m3. Calculate the pressure necessary to keep ice from expanding when it freezes, neglecting the effect such a large pressure would have on the freezing temperature. (This problem gives you only an indication of how large the forces associated with freezing water might be.) (b) What are the implications of this result for biological cells that are frozen?
