- What is the volume, in cubic centimeters (cm^3) of 1.00 kilograms of gold?arrow_forwardBacteria vary somewhat in size, but a diameter of 2.0 micrometers is not unusual. What would the volume (in cubic centimeters) and surface are (in square millimeters) of such a bacterium, assuming that it is spherical?arrow_forwardSuppose a room is 18 m long, 15 m wide, and the distance from floor to ceiling is 2.9 m. What is the room’s volume in cubic meters? In cubic centimeters? In liters?arrow_forward
- What is the volume of liquid in the buret in the illustration? Note that the volumes on a buret, expressed in milliliters, are sequenced in the opposite direction of a graduated cylinder.arrow_forwardThe radius of an atom is on the order of1010 m. What is this radius in centimeters? In inches? In nanometers?arrow_forwardAlthough the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre?

- You receive a mixture of table salt and sand and have to separate the mixture into pure substances. Explain how you would carry out this task. Is your method based on physical or chemical properties? Explain.arrow_forwardA solution is prepared by dissolving table salt, sodium chloride, in water at room temperature. a Assuming there is no significant change in the volume of water during the preparation of the solution, how would the density of the solution compare to that of pure water? b If you were to boil the solution for several minutes and then allow it to cool to room temperature, how would the density of the solution compare to the density in part a? c If you took the solution prepared in part a and added more water, how would this affect the density of the solution?arrow_forwardA solution made by dissolving sugar in water is homogeneous because the composition is the same everywhere. But if you could look with very high magnification, you would see locations with water particles and other locations with particles of sugar. How can we say that a sugar solution is homogenous?arrow_forward
