Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 89FP
The data Lavoisier obtained in the experiment described on page 35 are as follows:
Before heating: glass vessel + tin + air
= 13 onces, 2 gros, 2.50 grains
After heating; glassvcssel + tin calx + remaining air
= 13 onces, 2 gros, 2.50 grains
How closely did Levoisier's results conform to the law of conservation of mass? (1livre = 16 onces 1 once = 8 gros 1 gros = 72 grans. In modern terms, 1 livre = 30.59 g.)

The projectile fits into a finned casing that improves its accuracy. Calculate the mass of the projectile, assuming it is a cylinder of uranium (density = 19.05 g/cm3) that is 105 mm in diameter and 30 cm in height.

The density of lead is 11.35 g/ cm3. How many atoms of lead are in the sample? (b) Atoms are spherical; therefore, the lead atoms in this sample cannot fill all the available space As an approximation, assume that 60% of the space of the cube is filled with spherical lead atoms. Calculate the volume of one lead atom from this information.
