Visit this PhET density simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16phetmasvolden) and selectMystery Blocks.(a) Pick one of the Mystery Blocks and determine its mass, volume, density, and its likely identity.(b) Pick a different Mystery Block and determine its mass, volume, density, and its likely identity.(c) Order the Mystery Blocks from least dense to most dense. Explain.
Use the Density interactive to place the densities of the objects from highest to lowest.
Wood 79.170g scale /279.2mL in water
Lead 47.460g scale/204.2mL in water
Mystery 37.380g scale/204.2mL in water
I placed the higest density to lowest density:
Wood
Lead
Mystery
It came out incorrect, stating: You do not have the highest density object at the top. Remember that density is the mass per unit volume. To get the volume, you need to subtract the initial volume of the water in the graduated cylinder from the final volume after the object is fully submerged.Note: The inital volume of water is 200.0mL
Three liquid substances of the same mass and have an S.G. of 1.20, 0.835 and 1.0 were being mixed to form a new compound. Estimate the resulting density. Draw the figure, and explain the step by step explanation.

- You set out to determine the density of lead in the laboratory. Using a top loading balance to determine the mass and the water displacement method (Study Question 41) to determine the volume of a variety of pieces of lead, you calculate the following densities: 11.6 g/cm3, 11.8 g/cm3, 11.5 g/cm3, and 12.0 g/cm3. You consult a reference book and find that the accepted value for the density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3. Calculate your average value, percent error, and standard deviation of your results.arrow_forwardA few years ago a young chemist in Vienna, Austria, wanted to see just how permanent the gold was in his wedding band. The ring was 18-carat gold. (18-carat gold is 75% gold with the remainder copper and sliver) One week after his wedding day he took off the ring, cleaned it carefully, and weighed it. It had a mass of 5.58387 g. He weighed it weekly from then on,and after 1 year it had lost 6.15 mg just from normal wear and tear. He found that the activities that took the greatest toll on the gold were vacationing on a sandy beach and gardening. (a) What are the symbol of the elements that make up 18-carat gold? (b) The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. Use one of the periodic tables on the Internet (such as www.ptable.com) to find out if gold is the most dense of all of the known elements. If it is not gold, then what element is the most dense [considering only the elements from hydrogen (H) through uranium (U)]? (c) If a wedding band is 18-carat gold and has a mass of 5.58 g, what mass of gold is contained within the ring? (d) Assume there are 56 million married couples in the United States, and each person has an 18-carat gold ring. What mass of gold lost by all the wedding rings in the United States in 1 year (in units of grams) if each ring loses 6.15 mg of mass per year? Assuming gold is 1620 per troy ounce (where 1 troy ounce = 31.1 g), what is the lost gold worth?arrow_forwardYou have two identical boxes with interior dimensions of 8.0 cm 8.0 cm 8.0 cm. You completely fill one of the boxes with wooden spheres that are 1.6 cm in diameter. The other box gets filled with wooden cubes that are 1.6 cm on each edge. After putting the lid on the filled boxes, you then measure the density of each. Which one is more dense?arrow_forward

How can this be consistent with the conservation of mass?arrow_forwardDraw a picture showing the markings (graduations) on glassware that would allow you to make each of the following volume measurements of water, and explain your answers (the numbers given are as precise as possible). a. 128.7 mL b. 18mL c. 23.45 mL If you made these measurements for three samples of water and then poured all of the water together in one container, what total volume of water should you report? Support your answer.arrow_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.
