- Practice Exercise 1Platinum, Pt, is one of the rarest of the metals. Worldwideannual production is only about 130 tons. Platinum has a densityof 21.4 g>cm3. If thieves were to steal platinum from a bank usinga small truck with a maximum payload capacity of 900 lb, howmany 1 L bars of the metal could they take?(a) 19 bars (b) 2 bars (c) 42 bars (d) 1 bar (e) 47 barsarrow_forwardPractice Exercise 1Which of the following weights would you expect to besuitable for weighing on an ordinary bathroom scale? 2.0 * 107 mgarrow_forwardPractice excercise 1arrow_forward
- ▶ Practice Exercise 1You are asked to determine the mass of a piece of copper using itsreported density, 8.96 g/mL, and a 150-mL graduated cylinder.First, you add 105 mL of water to the graduated cylinder; thenyou place the piece of copper in the cylinder and record a volumeof 137 mL. What is the mass of the copper reported with the correctnumber of significant figures? (a) 287 g (b) 3.5 * 10-3 g/mL(c) 286.72 g/mL (d) 3.48 * 10-3 g/mLarrow_forward. What is the mass of the ethyl alcohol that exactly fills a 200.0 mL container? The density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL.

- Using the definitions 1 in. = 2.54 cm and 1 yd = 36 in. (both exact), obtain the conversion factor for yards to meters. How many meters are there in 3.54 yd?arrow_forwardPractice Problems What is the sum of 5.660 km and 0.03974 km? Calculate the difference between 42.8 mL and 4.535 mL. What is the area of a square crystal surface that measures 2.89 μm by 0.3460 μm? Polycarbonate plastic has a density of 1.2 g/cm3 . A tray is constructed from a sheet of polycarbonate with a thickness of 0.75 cm and that measures 36.0 cm by 26.0 cm. What is the mass of the tray?arrow_forward(6) A group of students collected 125 empty aluminum cans to take to therecycling center. If 21 cans make 1.0 lb aluminum, how many liters ofaluminum (D=2.70 g/cm3) are obtained from the cans? (Example worked inclass)arrow_forward
- I think its either 1 or 2 but im not sure, its difientely not 4 though. I asked this question on bartleby multiple times and both times I got differnt answers please choose the correct answerarrow_forwardSuppose that instead of using the cylindrical rod of Example 1-2 to prepare a 1.000 kgmass we were to use a solid spherical ball of copper What must be the radius of this ball?arrow_forwardNO NEED TO SHOW ANY WORK JUST FINAL ANSWER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! Incredibly, the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere that protects us from the ultraviolet rays of the Sun varies somewhat but, on the average, would be less than one centimeter thick if it were brought down to sea level. Given that the density of ozone at sea level would be about 2.0 grams per litre, what is the total amount of ozone (in Tonnes) in the upper atmosphere when its sea-level thickness is 0.22cm? Take the radius of the Earth to be 6400 km. (The volume of a thin skin around an object is the surface area of the object times the skin thickness.) Give your answer in gigatonnes, and do not specify units in the answer box.arrow_forward
