For a material to float on the surface of water, the material must have a density less than that of water (1.0 g/mL) and must not react with the water or dissolve in it. A spherical ball has a radius of 0.50 cm and weighs 2.0 g. Will (his ball float or sink when placed in water? (Note: Volume of a sphere=43r3 .)
When elemental iron corrodes it combines with oxygen in the air to ultimately form red brown iron(III) oxide which we call rust. (a) If a shiny iron nail with an initial mass of 23.2 g is weighed after being coated in a layer of rust, would you expect the mass to have increased, decreased, or remained the same? Explain. (b) If the mass of the iron nail increases to 24.1 g, what mass of oxygen combined with the iron?

Magnesium chloride is an important coagulant used in the preparation of tofu from soy milk. Its solubility in water at 20C is 54.6 g/100 g. At 80C, its solubility is 66.1 g/100 g. A mixture is made up of 16.2 g of magnesium chloride and 38.2 g of water at 20C. (a) Is the mixture homogeneous? If it is, how many more grams of magnesium chloride are required to make a saturated solution? If the mixture is not homogeneous, how many grams of magnesium chloride are undissolved? (b) How many more grams of magnesium chloride are needed to make a saturated solution at 80C?
