Could volume by displacement be used to determine the volume of a lump of rock salt? Explain would be nice

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.

How many moles are equal to 89.23g of calcium oxide, CaO?
Katen [24]

1.59moles

Explanation:

Mass  of CaO = 89.23g

Unknown

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

The mole is a unit of measurement in chemistry used to delineate the number of particles an atom contains.

A mole of a substance contains the avogadro's number of particles.

Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56g/mol

  Number of moles = \frac{89.23}{56} = 1.59moles

Consider the chemical equation. CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 mc023-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2
lana [24]
CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 ---->  Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl

using molar masses:-
Theoretical yields:-
63.54 + 2(35.45) g  of CuCl2  produces  2(22.98 + 35.45) g of NaCl
    134.44  g .................................................... 116.86 g
       31.0 g ....................................................31.0 * 116.86 /134.44=26.95g  
 
 So percentage yield is 21.2* 100 / 26.95    =  78.7%  to nearest tenth
