Looking at a ph level color chart, it should be moving to more acidic if it’s positive
Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:
1). Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water. So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease. If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.
So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve. I don't know right now what that could
be. You'd have to shop around and find one.
2). Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt. If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under. If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.
So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.
It requires a force in the direction opposite to the motion of the object for it to slow down.
<u>Answer:</u> The mass of iron in the ore is 10.9 g
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Mass of iron (III) oxide = 15.6 g
We know that:
Molar mass of Iron (III) oxide = 159.69 g/mol
Molar mass of iron atom = 55.85 g/mol
As, all the iron in the ore is converted to iron (III) oxide. So, the mass of iron in iron (III) oxide will be equal to the mass of iron present in the ore.
To calculate the mass of iron in given mass of iron (III) oxide, we apply unitary method:
In 159.69 g of iron (III) oxide, mass of iron present is 
So, in 15.6 g of iron (III) oxide, mass of iron present will be = 
Hence, the mass of iron in the ore is 10.9 g
