As a material scientist you are analyzing a luxury car that has 30 kilos of copper.
What does this indicate about the car’s performance?
Where is copper (Cu) likely to be located in the car? Discuss the physical and chemical properties of copper in your answer.
Heptane and water do not mix, and heptane has a lower density (0.684 g/mL) than water (1.00 g/mL). A 100-mL graduated cylinder with an inside diameter of 3.00 cm contains 29.7 g of heptane and 36.4 g of water. What is the combined height of the two liquid layers in the cylinder in cm? The volume of a cylinder is π r2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
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?

- Some bottles of colorless liquids were being labeled when the technicians accidentally mixed them up and lost track of their contents. A 15.0-mL sample withdrawn from one bottle weighed 22.3 g. The technicians knew that the liquid was either acetone, benzene, chloroform, or carbon tetrachloride (which have densities of 0.792 g/cm3, 0.899 g/cm3, 1.489 g/cm3, and 1.595 g/cm3, respectively). What was the identity of the liquid?arrow_forwardYou can figure out whether a substance floats or sinks if you know its density and the density of the liquid. In which of the liquids listed below will high-density polyethylene (HDPE) float? HDPE, a common plastic, has a density of 0.97 g/mL. It does not dissolve in any of these liquids.arrow_forwardWhich of the following represent physical properties or changes, and which represent chemical properties or changes?

- Hexane (C6H14, density = 0.766 g/cm3), perfluoro-hexane (C6F14, density = 1.669 g/cm3), and water are immiscible liquids; that is, they do not dissolve in one another. You place 10 mL of each in a graduated cylinder, along with pieces of high-density polyethylene (HDPE, density = 0.97 g/cm3), polyvinyl chloride(PVC, density = 1.36 g/cm3), and Teflon (density = 2.3 g/cm3). None of these common plastics dissolves in these liquids. Describe what you expect to see.arrow_forwardThe density of manganese is 7.21 g/mL, that of calcium chloride is 2.15 g/mL, and that of sodiumacetate is 1.528 g/mL. The three solids were placed in a liquid, in which they do not dissolve. The liquidhas a density of 2.15 g/mL. Which solid will sink to the bottom, which will stay on the top, and whichwill stay in the middle of the liquid?arrow_forward. A sample of an ethanol-water solution has a volume of 52.5 cm³ and a mass of 49.6 g. What is the percentage of ethanol (by mass) in the solution?

- Heptane and water do not mix, and heptane has a lower density (0.684 g/mL) than water (1.00 g/mL). A 100-mL graduated cylinder with an inside diameter of 3.44 cm contains 31.0 g of heptane and 33.5 g of water. What is the combined height of the two liquid layers in the cylinder?

Which will sink to the bottom, which will stay on the top, and which will float in the middle of the liquid?arrow_forwardTo prepare olives for consumption and remove their bitterness, powdered soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) is usually used in the industry, which is added to the water in which the olives are found (this method should not be used at home if we had olive trees because soda is highly corrosive and very dangerous, in this case we should use table salt). Normally 1 kilogram of soda is added for every 3 liters of water (weighing 3 kg, remember that the density of water is 1 g/mL).Thus, 4 kg of solution were obtained, and the density of this solution was determined experimentally to be 1.25 g/mL. a) Calculate what volume of solution is obtained.
