I’m having trouble with a homework problem.
A graduated cylinder contains 155mL of water. A 15.0-g piece of iron and a 20.0-g piece of lead are added. What is the new water level, in milliliter, in the cylinder (see Table 2.8)?

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?

A supersaturated sugar solution (650.0 g sugar in 150.0 g water) is prepared to make rock candy. The solution is kept at 25C, where the solubility of sugar is 220.0 g/100 g water. A string is dipped into the solution, and in time, large crystals of sugar (rock candy) form. How many grams of solid are obtained when the solution just reaches saturation?
