- The total amount of fresh water on earth is estimated to be 3.73 x 10^8 km^3. What is this volume In liters?arrow_forwardDimensional Analysis is a way of doing numerical "book-keeping" when converting quantities or performing calculations. • When converting quantities from one unit to another, conversion factors are used. Solving with Dimensional Analysis and Multiple Units: If I am in Canada where the price of gas is $1.022 USD·L1, how much will it cost me to fill up my gas tank if I travelled 125 km? • Let's also assume that my car gets an average of 30.0 miles/gallon.arrow_forwardA group of students took turns using a laboratory balanceto weigh the water contained in a beaker. The results theyreported were 111.42 g, 111.67 g, 111.21 g, 135.64 g,111.02 g, 111.29 g, and 111.42 g.(a) Should any of the data be excluded before the average is calculated?(b) From the remaining measurements, calculate the average value of the mass of the water in the beaker.(c) Calculate the standard deviation s and, from it, the 95% confidence limit.arrow_forward
- In the area of nano-chemistry, particles defined as nanoparticles range in size from 1-2500 nm. 1 nm is equivalent to 1 × 10–9 m. If the size of the particles that make up a particular material is 1.23 × 10–8 cm, what is this size in nanometers?arrow_forwardYou are given a hammer, a battery, a bulb, wires and switch.(a) How could you use them to distinguish between samples of metals and non- metals?(b) Asses the usefulness of these tests in distinguishing between metals and non-metals?arrow_forwardThe quantitative significance of “take a deep breath" varies, of course, with the individual. When one person did so, she found that she inhaled 3.62x10^22 molecules of the mixture of mostly nitrogen and oxygen we call air. Assuming this mixture has an average molar mass of 29.0 g/mol, what is her apparent lung capacity in grams of airarrow_forward
- Near room temperature, liquid benzene (C,H,) has a density of 0.8765 g cm3. Suppose that 0.2124 L of benzene is measured into a container. Calculate (a) the mass and (b) the chemical amount of benzene in the container. Mass (g Density = Volume (cm') 55arrow_forwardPART 2 Density of Gravel The mass of the empty weighing boat was measured. Then the weighing boat was filled with gravel, and the mass of the weighing boat and the gravel was measured. Mass of weighing boat = 0.98 g Mass of weighing boat and gravel = 58.98 g We are interested in the mass of the gravel. (a) Gravel is matter. Why? (b) What is the name of this method of measurement of mass of a substance? (c) What is the other method of measurement of mass of a substance? (d) What type of balance are we using in this experiment? (e) Calculate the mass of the sample of gravel.arrow_forwardCalculate these masses.(a) What is the mass of 6.00 cm3 of mercury, density = 13.5939 g/cm3?(b) What is the mass of 25.0 mL octane, density = 0.702 g/cm3?arrow_forward
- 8. Carry out the following conversions: (a) 1.42 lightyears to miles (a light-year is an astronomical measure of distance—the distance traveled by light in a year, or 365 days; the speed of light is 3.00x108 m/s), (b) 32.4 yd to centimeters, (c) 3.0 3x1010 cm/s to ft/s. With solutionarrow_forwardUsing your knowledge of metric units, English units, and theinformation on the back inside cover, write down the conversionfactors needed to convert (a) μm to mm, (b) ms tons, (c) mi to km, (d) ft3 to L.arrow_forwardthe unit of land measure in the english system is the acre, while that in the metric system is the hectare. An acre is 4.356 x 10^4 ft^4. A hectare is ten thousand square meters. The town of willington in connecticut requires a minimum area of 2.0 acres of land for a single-family dwelling. How many hectares are required?arrow_forward
