Three different samples were weighed using a different type of balance for each sample. The three were found to have masses of 0

Lena [83]

Answer:

6.096799125kg

Explanation:

According to the question, three different samples weighed using different types of balance had masses: 0.6160959 kg, 3.225 mg, and 5480.7 g.

Based on observation, the mass units in the three measurements are different but must be uniform in order to find the total mass. Hence, we need to convert to the standard unit (S.I unit of mass), which is kilograms (kg)

Since 1kg equals 1,000,000mg

Hence, 3.225mg will be 3.225/1000000

= 0.000003225kg

Also, 1kg equals 1000g

Hence, 5480.7g will be 5480.7/1000

= 5.4087kg

Hence, the total mass of the three samples (now in the same unit) are:

5.4807kg + 0.000003225kg + 0.6160959 kg

= 6.096799125kg

Question 5 of 10

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

4.2 g

Explanation:

The VOLUME of the ring is 4.2 - 4.0 = .2 ml = .2 cm^3

the MASS of the ring is this times the density

.2 cm^3 * 21 g/cm^3 = 4.2 g

You wish to prepare a buffer consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate with a total acetic acetate plus acetate concentration

vovangra [49]

Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM

Given:

Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0

Let HA = acetic acid

A- = sodium acetate

Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)

pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77

[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)

From (1) and (2)

[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM

[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM

[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM

What is the atom inventory for the following equation after it is properly balanced? ____NaOH + ____CuCl2 Imported Asset ____NaC

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Reactants: Na = 2, O = 2, H = 2, Cu = 1, Cl = 2;

Products: Na = 2, Cl = 2, Cu = 1, O = 2, H = 2

Explanation:

NaOH + CuCL2 —> NaCl + Cu(OH)2

The balanced equation can be achieved by doing the following:

There are 2 oxygen and 2 hydrogen atom on the right side. This is balanced by putting 2 in front of NaOH as shown below:

2NaOH + CuCL2 —> NaCl + Cu(OH)2

This makes Na to be unbalanced. Now to balance Na, put 2 in front of NaCl as illustrated below

2NaOH + CuCL2 —> 2NaCl + Cu(OH)2

Now the equation is balanced.

Reactants: Na = 2, O = 2, H = 2, Cu = 1, Cl = 2

Products: Na = 2, Cl = 2, Cu = 1, O = 2, H = 2

What is the cost to drive to Los Angeles from San Francisco a distance of 405 miles if the cost of gasoline is $2.90 a gallon an

choli [55]

Answer: $46.98

Explanation:

The distance to drive to Los Angeles from San Francisco is 405 miles. Since the car get 25 miles per gallon of gas, for 405 miles, the car will use:

= 405/25 = 16.2 gallons

Since the cost of gasoline is $2.90 a gallon and the car will use 16.2 gallons. The cost will be:

= $2.90 × 16.2 gallons

= $46.98
