Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of centimeters and nanometers in
Concept introduction:
The conversion of one unit into another can be done using a proper conversion factor. Conversion factors are the ratios that relate the two different units of a quantity. It is also known as dimensional analysis or factor label method.
In the unit conversion problems, the given information is multiplied by the conversion factors to obtain the desired information. The unit conversion can be done as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of cubic meters and cubic millimeters in

- The 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_forwardWhen elemental iron corrodes it combines with oxygen in the air to ultimately form red brown iron(III) oxide which we call rust. (a) If a shiny iron nail with an initial mass of 23.2 g is weighed after being coated in a layer of rust, would you expect the mass to have increased, decreased, or remained the same? Explain. (b) If the mass of the iron nail increases to 24.1 g, what mass of oxygen combined with the iron?arrow_forward1-89 Consider butter, density 0.860 g/mL, and sand, density 2.28 g/mL.
