There is an old story about a king and his crown. The king hired a goldsmith to make him a crown a pure gold. After the king rec

eived the crown, he started to worry that the goldsmith might have cheated him. He thought maybe the goldsmith didn't use pure gold, maybe he used a mix of metals to save money. The king asked a man named Archimedes to figure out if the crown was pure gold or not. Archimedes reasoned that the density of a lump of gold and a crown of pure gold would be the same. How could he prove if that crown was pure gold without melting or otherwise destroying the crown?

If gold does not attract to a magnet, then it is real gold. If it does then it is not real gold. Because magnets attract materials that are made of iron, but if it doesn't attract it is real because it does not contain any iron or nickel.

a couple of pennies have a mas of 5.2 grams. Asuming that the pennies are 100% percent copper,how many moles of copper are the p
dangina [55]

Answer:

5.2g copper (Cu) => 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)

Explanation:

mole conversions:

grams to moles => divide by formula wt.

moles to grams => multiply by formula wt.

gas volumes to moles => divide volume by 22.4Liters/mole (STP conditions only)

This problem:

mass to moles => divide by formula wt.

mass = 5.2g = 5.2g/63.5g/mole = 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)
