The mass of a glass beaker is known to be 25.1 g. Approximately 5 mL of water areadded, and the mass of the beaker and water is measured on an analytical balanceto be 30.625 g. How many significant figures are there in the mass of the water?
You are assigned the task of separating a desired granular materialwith a density of 3.62 g/cm3 from an undesired granularmaterial that has a density of 2.04 g/cm3. You want to dothis by shaking the mixture in a liquid in which the heaviermaterial will fall to the bottom and the lighter material willfloat. A solid will float on any liquid that is more dense. Usingan Internet-based source or a handbook of chemistry, findthe densities of the following substances: carbon tetrachloride,hexane, benzene, and diiodomethane. Which of theseliquids will serve your purpose, assuming no chemical interactiontakes place between the liquid and the solids?
The density of Solid A is 2.70 g/cm3 and that of Solid B is 3.87 g/cm3 . If 1.00 g of each solid is transferred to a graduated cylinder containing 5.00 mL of water. Which solid displaces the larger volume of water? By how many milliliters?
Suppose you are trying to find the volume of a box based on the given measurements for the length, width and height of the box, where the height was measured in two parts. length, 7 = 2.20 in width, w = 3.71 in height, h = 10.4 in + 1 in Calculate the height, h, of the box, first keeping all digits, then rounding to the proper number of significant figures. Calculate the volume (v) of the box using ?=?×?×ℎ. Round to the proper number of significant figure.
The sun is 1.496 x 1011 meters from the earth. If light travels at 3.0 x 108 m/sec, how many seconds will it take light to get from the sun to the earth? How many minutes is that?. Round each answer to proper sig. figs.
A density bottle test on a sample of dry soil gave the following results:Mass of 50ml density bottle empty (g) = 25.07Mass of 50ml density bottle+20g of dry soil particles (g) = 45.07Mass of 50ml density bottle+20g of dry soil particles, with remainder of space in bottle filled with water (g) = 87.55Mass of 50ml density bottle filled with water only (g) = 75.10Calculate the relative density (specific gravity) of the soil particles. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
