- If you compare the properties that you know of these materials that you use daily: sugar, vinegar, alcohol, oil, you can affirm that they are different, right? They could not confuse the oil with vinegar, or with alcohol. But... here are some facts to think about. Sugar is the common name for the compound sucrose, a substance made up of C, H and O. Vinegar is an aqueous solution containing 4% acetic acid, which is responsible for the typical smell and taste. Acetic acid is a substance made up of C, H and O. Pharmacy alcohol is a solution containing 96% ethanol and 4% water. Ethanol is a substance formed by the elements C. H and O. Edible oil is a mixture of different substances among which triglycerides predominate. These are substances formed by C. H and O.

Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forwardConsider two boxes with the following contents: the first box contains 10 blue paper clips and 10 red paper clips; the second contains the same number of each color of paper clip with the difference that each blue paper clip is interlocked with a red paper clip.
