- What is density? Give two examples of possible units for density.arrow_forwardFor a material to float on the surface of water, the material must have a density less than that of water (1.0 g/mL) and must not react with the water or dissolve in it. A spherical ball has a radius of 0.50 cm and weighs 2.0 g. Will (his ball float or sink when placed in water? (Note: Volume of a sphere=43r3 .)arrow_forward1.47 A student weighs 10 quarters and finds that their total mass is 56.63 grams. What should she report as the average mass of quarter based on her data?arrow_forward
- Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/cm3. What volume must be poured into a graduated cylinder to give 19.8 g of alcohol.arrow_forward1.78 Some farmers use ammonia, NH3, as a fertilizer. This ammonia is stored in liquid form. Use the participate perspective to show the transition from liquid ammonia to gaseous ammonia.arrow_forward1.30 The largest computers now include disk storage space measured in petabytes. How many bytes are in a petabyte? (Recall that in computer terminology, the prefix is only “close” to the value it designates in the metric system.)arrow_forward
- An aquarium has a rectangular cross section that is 47.8 in. by 12.5 in.; it is 19.5 in. high. How many U.S gallons does the aquarium contain? One U.S. gallon equals exactly 231 in3.arrow_forward1.48 A rock is placed on a balance and its mass is determined as 12.1 g. When the rock is then placed in a graduated cylinder that originally contains 11.3 mL of water, the new volume is roughly 17 rnL. How should the density of the rock be reported?arrow_forward
