- A sample of a bright blue mineral was weighed in air, then weighed again while suspended in water. An object is buoyed up by the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. In air, the mineral weighed 7.35 g; in water, it weighed 5.40 g. The densities of air and water are 1.205 g/L and 0.9982 g/cm3, respectively. What is the density of the mineral?arrow_forwardA sample of vermilion-colored mineral was weighed in air, then weighed again while suspended in water. An object is buoyed up by the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. In air, the mineral weighed 18.49 g; in water, it weighed 16.21 g. The densities of air and water are 1.205 g/L and 0.9982 g/cm3, respectively. What is the density of the mineral?arrow_forwardThe label on a bale of mulch indicates a volume of 1.45 ft3. The label also states that the mulch in the bale will cover an area of a garden 6 ft 6 ft to a depth of 1 in. Account for the discrepancy in the given volumes.arrow_forward
- Gold leaf, which is used for many decorative purposes, is made by hammering pure gold into very thin sheets. Assuming that a sheet of gold leaf is 1.27 105 cm thick, how many square feet of gold leaf could be obtained from 28.35 g gold? The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3.arrow_forwardThe active ingredient of aspirin tablets is acetylsalicylic acid, which, has a density of 1.4 g/cm3. In a lab class, a student used paper chromatography to isolate another common ingredient of headache remedies. The isolated sample had a mass of 0.384 g and a volume of 0.32 cm3. Given the data in the following table, what was the other ingredient in the headache remedy? Density Values for Potential Headache Remedies Compound Density (g/cm3) White table sugar 0.70 Caffeine 1.2 Acetylsalicylic acid 1.4 Sodium chloride 2.2arrow_forwardAt 25 C the density of water is 0.997 g/mL, whereas the density of ice at 10 C is 0.917 g/mL. (a) If a plastic soft-drink bottle (volume = 250 mL) is completely filled with pure water, capped, and then frozen at 10 C, what volume will the solid occupy? (b) What will the bottle look like when you take it out of the freezer?arrow_forward
- 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 A 15.0-mL sample withdrawn from one bottle weighed 22.3 g. The technicians knew that the liquid was either acetone, benzene, chloroform, or carbon tetrachloride (which have densities of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_forwardAt 25 C, the density of water is 0.997 g/cm3, whereas the density of ice at 10 C is 0.917 g/cm3. (a) If a soft-drink can (volume = 250. mL) is filled completely with pure water at 25 C and then frozen at - 10 C, what volume does the ice occupy? (b) Can the ice be contained within the can?arrow_forwardWhat is the density of a block of metal that measures 62.88cm by 34.220cm by 5.18cm and has a mass of 24,983.44 grams? please explain step by step .arrow_forward
- A.Measurement of the density of water.Weigh a small beaker (degree of precision?). Place about 25 mL of water in a 50 mL graduated cylinder and record its volume (degree of precision?). Pour the water into the beaker and weigh the beaker and water together. From these data, calculate the density of the water, giving your answer with the proper number of significant figures.Volume of water in cylinder23.5 mLMass of empty beaker75.360 gMass of beaker with water 99.030 gMass of water in beaker ______gDensity of water g/mLarrow_forwardThe density of lithium is 0.530 g/cm^3 what is the volume occupied by 1.20 x 10^3 g oflithium?arrow_forwardThe density of water is 1.00 g/cm 3.
