Answer: SG = 2.67

Specific gravity of the sand is 2.67

Explanation:

Specific gravity = density of material/density of water

Given;

Mass of sand m = 100g

Volume of sand = volume of water displaced

Vs = 537.5cm^3 - 500 cm^3

Vs = 37.5cm^3

Density of sand = m/Vs = 100g/37.5 cm^3

Ds = 2.67g/cm^3

Density of water Dw = 1.00 g/cm^3

Therefore, the specific gravity of sand is

SG = Ds/Dw

SG = (2.67g/cm^3)/(1.00g/cm^3)

SG = 2.67

Specific gravity of the sand is 2.67

How to tell if vector is unit vector
Aliun [14]
You can tell if vector is an unit because it has something to do with taking the magnitude of the vector.
also has a length 1. thus you should use pythagoras to check.

Five liters of air at 50 c is warmed to 100c what is the new volume if the pressure remain constant
KonstantinChe [14]
To solve the problem, we can use Charle's law, which states that for an ideal gas at constant pressure the ratio between absolute temperature T and volume V remains constant:
\frac{T}{V}=k
For a gas transformation, this law can be rewritten as
\frac{T_1}{V_1}= \frac{T_2}{V_2} (1)
where 1 and 2 label the initial and final conditions of the gas.

Before applying the law, we must convert the temperatures in Kelvin:
T_1 = 50^{\circ}C + 273 = 323 K
T_2 = 100^{\circ}C+273=373 K
The initial volume of the gas is V_1 = 5 L, so if we re-arrange (1) we find the new volume of the gas:
V_2 = V_1  \frac{T_2}{T_1}=(5 L) \frac{373 K}{323 K}=5.77 L
