In Active Example 3-29 you calculated that you would have to work six weeks to earn enough money to buy a 1082.49 television. You would be working five shifts of four hours each at 9.25/hr. But, alas, when you received your first pay check, you found that exactly 23 of your earnings had been withheld for social security, federal and state income taxes, and workers compensation insurance. Taking these into account, how many weeks will it take to earn the 1082.49?
You are on the management team of a company that is considering purchasing a tanker truck. The truck you want has a volume of 26,000 liters and an empty mass/weight of 15,500 kg. However, the route you wish to travel has a bridge with a weight limit of 25 tons. If you purchase the truck and fill it to capacity with a liquid whose density is 0.80kg/L, what will the mass of the truck be?
In a river with a constant flow rate, the factory releases wastewater containing NaCl at a concentration of 200 mmol / L to the river at 20.0 L / s. The Na+ and Cl- concentrations at the downstream observation point were 1.00 mmol / L and 0.800 mmol / L, respectively. What is the river flow Q and Cl- concentration before the inflow of drainage? The river originally contains 0.500 mmol / L of Na+.
A partially filled one-gallon [gal] pitcher, that has a mass of 0.35 kilograms [kg] when empty, is sitting on a kitchen counter. Assume the total mass of the pitcher and its contents is 2 kilograms [kg]. The pitcher contains a liquid that has a molecular weight of 19.5 grams per mole [(g)/(mol)] and a molarity of 57 moles per liter [(mol)/(L)]. (a) Determine the volume of the liquid in the pitcher in units of liters [L]. (b) Determine the specific gravity of the liquid in the pitcher.
A pipet is used to transfer 5.00 mL of a 1.25 M stock solution in flask “S” to a 25.00-mL volumetric flask “B,” which is then diluted with DI H2O to the calibration mark. The solution is thoroughly mixed. Next, 3.00 mL of the solution in volumetric flask “A” is transferred by pipet to a 50.00-mL volumetric flask “B” and then diluted with DI H2O to the calibration mark. Calculate the molarity of the solution in volumetric flask “B.”

A pipet is used to transfer 6.00 mLmL of a 3.75 MM stock solution in flask “S” to a 25.00-mL volumetric flask “A,” which is then diluted with DI H2OH2O to the calibration mark. The solution is thoroughly mixed. Next, 10.00 mLmL of the solution in volumetric flask “A” is transferred by pipet to a 50.00-mL volumetric flask “B” and then diluted with DI H2OH2O to the calibration mark. Calculate the molarity of the solution in volumetric flask “B.”
-If ethanol (S.G. = 0.790) were used rather than water in measuring the density of the irregular objects, how would that have affected the result? Explain. -When you were measuring the volume of the irregular solid you were told to stir to eliminate bubbles. If the bubbles were not eliminated, how would that affect the density? Explain. -Suppose the density of 65.0 mL of some liquid was found to be 0.748 g/mL. What would be the specific gravity of 45.0 mL of this liquid?
IF THE ANSWER ON THIS PROBLEM IS 1336kg/m3. WHAT IS THE COMPUTATION OF THIS PROBLEM?What is the resulting density when you mix 5.0 L of ethyl alcohol and 12.0 Lwater?
The percentage of an additive in gasoline was measured six times with the following results: 0.13; 0.12; 0.16; 0.17; 0.20 and 0.11%. What is the 99% confidence interval for the additive percentage?
When concentrated nitric is sold, the label contains no mention of the molarity of the acid. Instead, the label normally lists the concentration of nitric acid as a wt/wt percent and gives the specific gravity of the solution. If the solution is 68.0 (wt/wt %) and nitric acid and has a specific gravity of 1.41 kg/L, calculate the molarity of 68.0 % concentrated nitric acid. FW HNO3=63.01g/mol
You are checking the accuracy of a volumetric flask marked 10.00 mL . To calculate the volume of water contained in the flask, you first measure the mass of the empty flask and the mass of the flask filled with water and take the difference. Then, you correct for the buoyancy factor and divide by the density of the water. The result of 8 such measurements is given in the table. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for these measurements with a mean of 10.03.
