At 20oC 25.0 ml of concentrated nitric acid solution was found to have a mass of 32.503 g. What is the calculated density of this solution at 20oC? Show your calculation set-up and result using correct significant figures and proper units.
Volume of Nitric acid = 25.0 ml
Mass of nitric acid = 32.503 g
Density = mass of substance Density= Mass of nitric acid
volume of substance volume of nitric acid
= 32.503g
25
.0mL
=
1.30g/mL (3 sig figures)
Using the calculated density of the solution from above, what is the mass of 150 ml. of the solution? Again show your solution set-up with correct significant figures and units.
1. Comment on the differences in measurements obtained on the same objects using the meter stick, ruler, and tape measure. How close are they to one another?
2. Which type of electronic balance gives you the most accurate mass? Why?
3. Comment on the differences found between the different volumetric measuring devices. How does the volume of the graduated cylinder compare to that obtained by the volumetric flask (i.e. are the volumes the same?) Which of these measuring devices gives the most accurate volume? Which of these measuring devices would you consider the easiest to work with?
Solve these problems about lumber dimensions.(a) To describe to a European how houses are constructed in the US, the dimensions of “two-by-four” lumber must be converted into metric units. The thickness × width × length dimensions are 1.50 in. × 3.50 in. × 8.00 ft inthe US. What are the dimensions in cm × cm × m?(b) This lumber can be used as vertical studs, which are typically placed 16.0 in. apart. What is that distance in centimeters?
