Question
What is the density of the metal weight?

Transcribed Image Text:Consider a beaker of water sitting on the pan of an electronic scale that has been tared. A metal weight hanging from a string is suspended in the water and the mass reading on the scale reads 0.10 g. The metal weight falls
from the string, rests on the bottom of the beaker, and the reading becomes 0.54 g. (Density water-0.9982 g/ml)
What is the mass of water displaced by the metal weight?

A gasoline station in Manila, Philippines, charges 38.46 pesos per liter of unleaded gasoline at a time when one US. dollar (USD) buys 47.15 pesos (PHP). The car you are driving has a gas tank with a capacity of 14 U.S. gallons and gets 24 miles per gallon. (a) What is the cost of unleaded gasoline in Manila in USD per gallon? (b) How much would a tankful of unleaded gasoline for your car cost in USD? (c) Suppose that you have only PHP 1255 (a day's wage for an elementary school teacher) and the car's tank is almost empty. How many miles can you expect to drive if you spend all your money on gasoline?

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?

The mass unit associated with density is usually grams. If the volume (in mLmL or cm3cm3) is multiplied by the density (g/mLg/mL or g/cm3g/cm3) the volume units will cancel out, leaving only the mass units. Keep in mind that the volume and density must use the same volume unit for the cancellation.
If a large marshmallow has a volume of 3.00 in3in3 and density of 0.242 g/cm3g/cm3, how much would it weigh in grams? 1 in3=16.39 cm31 in3=16.39 cm3.

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?
