Mole Concept

Mole concept is a method to determine the amount of any substance that consists of some elemental particles using a grouping unit called ‘mole’. The mole concept enables one to handle the large amount of small elementary particles. The mole concept can be used in many calculations related to mole calculation, molar amount, mole ratio, and so on, which are significant in chemistry.

Hi. So I got a test question wrong. The question was: A bottle of cola purchased in Europe gave the volume as 50cl. What is this volume in ml? I didn't know what cL was so I searched what 'cl' meant and how many ml was in 1cl. It said that 1cl= 10mL. So then I went ahead and multiplied 50cl by 10 ml and got 500ml. Our topic also had something to do with calculating sig figs aka significant figures and it was kind of confusing for me. We had to apply it to our answers. I thought that because 50 cl x 10 cl there will only be 1 sig fig which was the number 5 or 1 so I went ahead and wrote 5 as my answer. It was wrong though.
1.) A dense plastic-like shape has a mass of 42.985 g and has a volume of 41.96 mL. What is the density of the substance? 2.) Another plastic-like piece has a mass of 65.389 grams and displaces 53.652 grams of water (measured at 24.6 ⁰C). Is this piece likely to be composed of the same material as the sample in problem 1? Explain using the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning process.

(a) 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 (density 0.785 g/mL)or toluene (density 0.866 g/mL). What are the calculated densityand the probable identity of the substance? (b) An experimentrequires 45.0 g of ethylene glycol, a liquid whose densityis 1.114 g/mL. Rather than weigh the sample on a balance, achemist chooses to dispense the liquid using a graduated cylinder.What volume of the liquid should he use? (c) Is a graduatedcylinder such as that shown in Figure 1.21 likely to afford theaccuracy of measurement needed? (d) A cubic piece of metalmeasures 5.00 cm on each edge.
