Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 3ASA

Finding the density of a solid.

The student then emptied the flask and dried it once again. To the empty flask she added pieces of a metal until the flask was about three-fourths full. She weighed the stoppered flask and its metal contents and found that the mass was 116.150 g . She then filled the flask with water, stoppered it, and obtained a total mass of 119.827 g for the flask, stopper, metal, and water. Find the density of the metal.

a. To find the density of the metal we need to know its mass and volume. We can easily obtain its mass by the method of differences:

Mass of metal = _ _ _ _ _ _   g _ _ _ _ _ _ _   g = _ _ _ _ _ _   g

b. To determine the volume of metal, we note that the volume of the flask must equal the volume of the metal plus the volume of water in the filled flask containing both metal and water. If we can find the volume of water, we can obtain the volume of metal by the method of differences. To obtain the volume of the water we first calculate its mass:

Mass of water  =  mass of ( flask +  stopper + metal+ water )  mass of ( flask +  stopper + metal )           Mass of water  = _ _ _ _ _   g _ _ _ _ _ _   g = _ _ _ _ _ _   g  

The volume of water is found from its density, as in lb. Note that 1 mL = 1  cm 3 . Make the calculation.

Volume of water  = _ _ _ _ _ _ mL  = _ _ _ _ _ _ cm 3                    

c. From the volume of the water, we calculate the volume of metal:

              Volume of metal = volume of flask volume of water Volume of metal = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ cm 3 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ cm 3 = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ cm 3

From the mass and volume of metal, we find the density, using the equation in 1b. Make the calculation.

Density of metal = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ g / cm 3

The molecular liquid chloroform (CHCl3) has a density of 1.48 g/mL, while the molecular liquid bromoform (CHBr3) has a density of 2.89 g/mL.(a) When 44.0 mL of CHCl3 and 39.2 mL of CHBr3 are mixed, a clear liquid solution forms. Is this a chemical or a physical change?
A student dissolved 230.8 grams of cesium chloride in 100.0 grams of 90 °C water.  The student then cooled that solution to 20 °C .  That cooled solution formed a solid (or "precipitate"), and after separating and drying this solid the student found that the solid weighed 43.8 grams.  What is the solubility of cesium chloride in water at 20 °C ?  < calculate your answer as grams of cesium chloride per 100 grams of water, but DO NOT include your units in your answer>
A student is asked to make up a 16% sodium chloride solution. She makes the solution by weighing an empty beaker (which has a mass of 98.5g). Sodium chloride is added to the beaker. The mass of the beaker and sodium chloride is 114.71 g. Lastly, the student added 84 mL of distilled water to the beaker. Reweighing the beaker she finds that the mass of the beaker, sodium chloride, ad distilled water is 196.14 g. What is the weight percentage of sodium chloride in this solution? Show all work.

    . A sample of an ethanol-water solution has a volume of 52.5 cm³ and a mass of 49.6 g. What is the percentage of ethanol (by mass) in the solution? (Assume that there is no change in volume when the pure compounds are mixed.) The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/cm³ and that of water is 0.998 g/cm³. Percentage of ethanol = b. Alcoholic beverages are rated in proof, which is a measure of the relative amount of ethanol in the beverage. Pure ethanol is exactly 200 proof, a solution that is 50% ethanol by volume is exactly 100 proof.

    TUMS is a popular remedy for acid indigestion. A typical TUMS tablet contains calcium carbonate plus some inert substances. When ingested, it reacts with the gastric juice (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach to give off carbon dioxide gas. When a 1.344−g tablet reacted with 40.00 mL of hydrochloric acid (density = 1.140 g/mL), carbon dioxide gas was given off, and the resulting solution weighed 46.699 g. Calculate the number of liters of carbon dioxide gas released if its density is 1.81 g/L
