Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The volume in milliliters of given solid is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The density is defined as the ratio of mass of a body to its volume. For solid bodies densities are usually expressed in the units of grams per cubic centimeter, for liquids in the units of grams per milliliter and for gases in units of grams per liter.

- Which part of the description of a compound or element refers to its physical properties and which to its chemical properties? (a) Calcium carbonate is a white solid with a density of 2.71 g/cm3. It reacts readily with an acid to produce gaseous carbon dioxide. (b) Gray, powdered zinc metal reacts with purple iodine to give a white compoundarrow_forwardWhat properties distinguish solids from liquids? Liquids from gases? Solids from gases?arrow_forwardA solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence ofair. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C.The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtainedwhen carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Basedon these observations, can we determine whether solids Aand B and gas C are elements or compounds?arrow_forward
- Suppose the metallic paper clips (which contain iron) had been replaced by magnesium or nickel. Would using a magnet as a method of separation have worked?arrow_forward• What is the density in g/cm^3 of 255g of solid metal with the volume of 41cm^3?arrow_forwardA solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C. The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Based on these observations, can we determine whether solids A and B and gas C are elements or compounds? Explain your conclusions for each substance.arrow_forward
