APPLY 1.6 You are beachcombing on summer vacation and find a silver bracelet. You take it to the jeweler and he tells you that it is silver plated and will give you $10 for it. You do not want to be swindled so you take the bracelet to your chemistry lab and find its mass on a balance (80.0 g). To measure the volume you place the bracelet in a graduated cylinder (Figure 1.8) containing 10.0 mL of water at 20OC The final volume in the gradu- ated cylinder after the bracelet has been added is 17.61 ml.. The density of silver at 20OC is 10.5 g/cm3 and 1 cm3= 1mL. What can you conclude about the identity of the metal in the bracelet?

- 1-89 Consider butter, density 0.860 g/mL, and sand, density 2.28 g/mL. (a) If 1.00 mL of butter is thoroughly mixed with 1.00 mL of sand, what is the density of the mixture? (b) What would be the density of the mixture if 1.00 g of the same butter were mixed with 1.00 g of the same sand?arrow_forward1-51 A nurse practitioner orders isotonic sodium lactate 50. mL/kg body mass to be administered intravenously for a 139-lb patient with severe acidosis.

We talk about atomic events that occur in picoseconds (10-12 s) or even in femtoseconds (10-15 s). But we don’t talk about megaseconds or kiloseconds; the old standards of minutes, hours, and days prevail. How many minutes and hours are 20. kiloseconds?arrow_forward
