No, this item is not made of pure silver because if it has been made from pure silver that it would have displaced only 1.16cm³ of water but due to the addition of some other low-density element it displaces 1.9cm³ of water.

<u>For pure silver</u>

density of pure silver is = 10.49 g/cm³

mass of silver = 12.2 gram

since, density = mass/volume

          volume = mass/density

                        = 12.2/10.49 cm³

                         = 1.16 cm³

But the actual displaced water is <u>1.9cm³</u>, which means some other element of lower density has been added.

Therefore, it is clear that the given jewelry is not made of pure silver.

The given questions belongs to the concept of limiting reagent.

The number of moles of carbon dioxide produced when 4.6 moles of dioxygen reacts is 4.6 moles.

<h3 /><h3>What is Limiting Reagent ?</h3>

The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed.

Given ;

Moles of Oxygen = 4.6

To find;

Moles of Carbon di oxide = ?

The reaction that forms CO_2 is as follows:

C(s) + O_2(g) -->  CO_2(g)

This means that O_2 is consumed and  CO_2 is produced in a 1:1 ratio.

If we consume 4.6 mol  O_2, then we produce 4.6 mol  CO_2 .

Hence, 4.6 mol  CO_2 are produced when 4.6 mol of oxygen reacts.

baherus [9]
<span>The answer is B. Convection occurs when hot/warm water rise to the top and the cold water  goes to the bottom in a vessel. This is because hot/warm water is less dense than cold water. Additionally, convection currents are well perceptible in air and water and fluid substances that are poor conductors of heat</span>
