Torricelli, who invented the barometer, used mercury inits construction because mercury has a very high density,which makes it possible to make a more compact barometerthan one based on a less dense fluid. Calculate the densityof mercury using the observation that the column of mercury is 760 mm high when the atmospheric pressure is1.01 x 105 Pa. Assume the tube containing the mercury isa cylinder with a constant cross-sectional area.
You are asked to calibrate a 25.00 mL volumetric pipet. You determine the temperature of your distilled water is exactly 30 degrees celsius. You carefully determined the mass of a clean, dry beaker and found it was 60.1703 g. You pulled the water up to the mark and transferred this to the beaker and found that the new mass was 85.2263 g. What is the actualy volume of the pipet? I tried answering the question above by doing 85.2263 - 60.1703 = 25.056 g I then used 25.056 and multipled it with .995646 (which is the density of water at 30 degrees celsius I believe) The answer I got is 24.947 I am not sure if I am just doing the problem wrong or if it is simply my signifcant figures that are off? Please help :))
in an experimental solar house, energy from the Sun is stored in barrels filled with water. In a particular winter stretch of five cloudy days, 6.22 GJ (gigajoules, times 10 to the 9th power J) are needed to maintain the inside of the house at 22.0 degrees Celsius. Assuming that the water in the barrels is at 50.0 degrees Celsius, calculate the volume of water required. (Cwater = 4.18 J/g•K), (Dwater = 1.00 g/mL)

To identify a liquid substance, a student determined itsdensity. Using a graduated cylinder, she measured out a 45-mLsample of the substance. She then measured the mass of thesample, finding that it weighed 38.5 g. She knew that the substancehad to be either isopropyl alcohol 1density 0.785 g>mL2or toluene 1density 0.866 g>mL2. What are the calculated densityand the probable identity of the substance?
