Answer is: <span>the volume of water after the solid is added</span> is 4.5 ml.
d(gold) = 8.0 g/cm³; density of gold.
m(gold) = 4 g; mass of gold.
V(gold) = m(gold) ÷ d(gold); volume of gold.
V(gold) = 4 g ÷ 8 g/cm³.
V(gold) = 0.5 cm³ = 0.5 ml.
V(water) = 4.00 ml = 4.00 cm³.
V(flask) = V(gold) + V(water).
V(flask) = 0.5 cm³ + 4 cm³.V = 4.5 cm³.
As the air molecules move through the valve they have friction as they hit the walls, and its this friction that causes it to heat up.
Argon is a noble gas. Argon has a full outer shell. This makes it so that it does not need to react with any of the other elements to be stable.
With Rubidium and Cobalt its a whole different story.
I hope that helps!
