Concept explainers
Fluoridation of city water supplies has been practiced in the United States for several decades. It is done by continuously adding sodium fluoride to water as it comes from a reservoir. Assume you live in a medium-sized city of 150,000 people and that 660 L (170 gal) of water is used per person per day. What mass of sodium fluoride (in kilograms) must be added to the water supply each year (365 days) to have the required fluoride concentration of 1 ppm (part per million)—that is, 1 kilogram of fluoride per 1 million kilograms of water? (Sodium fluoride is 45.0% fluoride, and water has a density of 1.00 g/cm3.)

- The label on a bale of mulch indicates a volume of 1.45 ft3. The label also states that the mulch in the bale will cover an area of a garden 6 ft 6 ft to a depth of 1 in. Account for the discrepancy in the given volumes.arrow_forwardEthylene glycol, C2H6O2, is an ingredient of automobile antifreeze. Its density is 1.11 g/cm3 at 20 C. If you need 500. mL of this liquid, what mass of the compound, in grams, is required?arrow_forwardA sample of a bright blue mineral was weighed in air, then weighed again while suspended in water. An object is buoyed up by the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. In air, the mineral weighed 7.35 g; in water, it weighed 5.40 g. The densities of air and water are 1.205 g/L and 0.9982 g/cm3, respectively. What is the density of the mineral?arrow_forward
- Gold leaf, which is used for many decorative purposes, is made by hammering pure gold into very thin sheets. Assuming that a sheet of gold leaf is 1.27 105 cm thick, how many square feet of gold leaf could be obtained from 28.35 g gold? The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3.arrow_forwardThe density of a solution of sulfuric acid is 1.285 g/cm3, and it is 38.08% acid by mass. Calculate the volume of the acid solution (in mL) you need to supply 125 g of sulfuric acid.arrow_forward1-85 In Japan, high-speed “bullet trains” move with an average speed of 220. km./h. If Dallas and Los Angeles were connected by such a train, how long would it take to travel nonstop between these cities (a distance of 1490. miles)?arrow_forward
- The following data refer to the element phosphorus. Classify each as a physical or a chemical property. (a) It exists in several forms, for example, white, black, and red phosphorus. (b) It is a solid at 25C and 1 atm. (c) It is insoluble in water. (d) It burns in chlorine to form phosphorus trichloride.arrow_forwardSuppose a room is 18 m long, 15 m wide, and the distance from floor to ceiling is 2.9 m. What is the room’s volume in cubic meters? In cubic centimeters? In liters?arrow_forwardAlthough the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?arrow_forward
- The total amount of fresh water on earth is estimated to be 3.73 x 10^8 km^3. What is this volume In liters?arrow_forwardTo identify a metal, an experimenter placed, 4850cg sample in a graduated cylinder. He then poured 35.75 mL of water, covering the metal and bringing the liquid level in the cylinder to 42.5 mL. What is the density of the metal in kg/m3?arrow_forward) The total amount of fresh water on earth is estimated to be 3.73 x 108 km3. What is this volume in cubic meters? In liters?arrow_forward
