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.

2Na2SO4 :How many atoms for each element are in the formula?<br><br> S=<br> O=<br> Na=
yuradex [85]

Answer:

S=  2(1)  = 2

O=  2(4)  = 8

Na= 2(2)  = 4

Explanation:

The given compound is:

          2Na₂SO₄  

An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split up into simpler substances.

So;

  Number of atoms of elements here are:

S=  2(1)  = 2

O=  2(4)  = 8

Na= 2(2)  = 4

What is the molarity of a 250.0 milliliter aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide that contains 15.5 grams of solute
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. The concentration of the solution is calculated as follows:

 <span> </span><span>Molarity = 15.5 g NaOH (1 mol NaOH / 40 g NaOH)  / .250 L solution</span>

<span>Molarity = 1.55 M</span>

Convert Au(clo3)2 to s name
Sholpan [36]
Since Au is a symbol for Gold, and once you split the name into to giving each ion its charge... you'll see that this compound has Au+2 and Cl03- .... so  the name would be 

Gold(II) Chlorate

Hope this helps!

What are the answers to these?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: 1. AgF + CaCl2 = AgCl + CaF2

2. C2H4 +O2 = CO2 +H2O

3. K2S = K+S

4. O2 + Mg = MgO

5. Mg + AlBr3 = MgBr2 + Al

6.C2H6O + O2= CO2 + H2O

7.Li2SO4 + MgCl2= Li2SO4 + MgCl2

8.HCl + Zn= H2 + ZnCl2

Explanation:

Balance the equation

Write down your given equation.

Write down the number of atoms per each element that you have on each side of the equation.

Always leave hydrogen and oxygen for last.

If you have more than one element left to balance:

Add a coefficient to the single carbon atom on the right of the equation to balance it with the 3 carbon atoms on the left of the equation.

Balance the hydrogen atoms next.

Balance the oxygen atoms.
