A pycnometer is a glass flask with a tight fitting glass stopper that is used to obtain the volume of a liquid with high accuracy. A pycnometer has a mass of 25.151 grams when empty, and a mass of 42.481 grams when completely filled with water. The pycnometer has a mass of 47.629 when completely filled with an unknown liquid. What is the density in g/cm³ of the unknown liquid? Assume the density of water is 1.000 g/cm³.

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?

1.66 An engineer is working with archaeologists to create a realistic Roman village in a museum. The plan for a balance in a marketplace calls for 100 granite stones, each weighing 10 denarium. (The denarium was a Roman unit of mass: 1 denarium = 3.396 g.) The manufacturing process for making the stones will remove 20% of the material. If the granite to be used has a density of 2.75g/cm3, what is the minimum volume of granite that the engineer should order?
