Answer: 483 mL of the cleaning solution are used to clean hospital equipment

Explanation:

The question requires us to calculate the volume, in mL, of solution is used to clean hospital equipment, given that 415g of this solution are used and the specific gravity of the solution is 0.860.

Measurements > Density

Specific gravity is defined as the ratio between the density of a given substance to the density of a reference material, such as water:

Specific\text{ gravity = }\frac{density\text{ of substance}}{density\text{ of reference substance}}

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio between the mass and the volume of this substance:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Considering the reference substance as water and its density as 1.00 g/mL, we can determine the density of the substance which specific gravity is 0.860:

0.860=\frac{density\text{ of substance}}{1.00g/mL}\rightarrow density\text{ of substance = 0.860g/mL}

Thus, taking water as the reference substance, we can say that the density of the cleaning solution is 0.860 g/mL.

Now that we know the density of the cleaning solution (0.860 g/mL) and the mass of solution that is used to clean hospital equipment (415g), we can calculate the volume of solution that is used to clean the equipment:

\begin{gathered} density=\frac{mass}{volume}\rightarrow volume=\frac{mass}{density} \\  \\ volume=\frac{415g}{0.860g/mL}=483mL \end{gathered}

Therefore, 483 mL of the cleaning solution are used to clean hospital equipment.

The volume of a sample of gas is 0.5 L and the pressure is 0.98 atm. The volume is increased to 1.0 L. Show the set
meriva

Given,

P1 = 0.98 atm

V1 = 0.5 L

V2 = 1.0 L

P2 = ?

Solution,

According to Boyle's Law,

P1V1 = P2V2

0.98 × 0.5 = 1.0 × P2

P2 = 0.98 × 0.5 × 1.0

P2 = 0.49 atm

Answer - The new pressure is 0.49 atm.

Why do atomic model has changed over time
Elenna [48]

The model of the atom has dramatically changed over many many years.We learned atoms make up different substances and are the smallest particles of matter, which have subatomic particles that are very small portions of matter. At first scientist only thought there were electrons which are negatively charged.

Which best describes a compound such as sodium chloride?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

check it below

Explanation:

NaCl; Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound formed by sodium and Chlorine.

Ionic bond is very strong, It can't be separated back to sodium and chlorine just by physical change. Chemicals which are more reactive can displace ions, thus seperate it
