Concept explainers
(a) Carbon monoxide
Interpretation:
The unit conversions are to be carried out by dimensional analysis for given measurements.
Concept introduction:
Dimensional analysis is used to set up and solve a unit conversion problem using conversion factors.
Dimensional analysis is a way to convert units of measurement. In order to convert one unit to another, the relationship between those units is to be predicted. These relationships are called conversion factors.
Volume =
Answer to Problem 70QP
Solution:
a)
b)
c)
Explanation of Solution
a) Concentration of CO
Dimensions of the room
Calculate the volume of the room.
The volume of the room is calculated as follows:
Now, calculate the volume occupied by CO in liters.
Set up the unit conversion calculation using the appropriate conversion factor.
The conversion is as follows:
The units in the conversion factor must cancel to give the correct unit for the answer.
Hence, the volume occupied by CO in the room is
b) The concentration of mercury vapor must be under

- The German chemist Fritz Haber proposed paying off the reparations imposed against Germany after World War I by extracting gold from seawater. Given the following data, what was the dollar amount of the gold that could have been extracted from 3.0 m3 of seawater? The price of gold at the time was $0.68 per gram of gold. Gold occurs in seawater to the extent of 5.15 x 1011 atoms per gram of seawater. The density of seawater is 1.03 g/cm3.arrow_forwardThe physical fitness of athletes is measured by “VO2 max,”which is the maximum volume of oxygen consumed by anindividual during incremental exercise (for example, on atreadmill).
