A substance either an ion or a molecule that can act either an acid or a base depending on a medium is called Amphoteric. Some metals like zinc, tin, copper and aluminium which produce either metal oxides or hydroxides are examples of amphoteric. During the Amphoterism, the metal compound acts either an acid or a base depending on their oxidation state.

Pickles and lemons have a sour taste. what types of substances are in pickles to give them this sour taste
postnew [5]
The taste of Acid is Sour, that of Base is Bitter and salt is salty. So, Pickle and Lemons give sour taste due to presence of Acids. The sour taste of Lemon is due to presence of Citric Acid in it. While the sour taste of Pickle is due to presence of Vinegar (5% Acetic Acid Solution). Vinegar is mainly used to prevent the Pickle from Bacterial Attack.

Answer:

The value of the Golden Igloo is $227.4 million.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the inner and the outer volume of the half-spherical shell:

V_{i} = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}\pi r_{i}^{3}

V_{o} = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}\pi r_{o}^{3}

The total volume is given by:

V_{T} = V_{o} - V_{i}

Where:

V_{i}: is the inner volume

r_{i}: is the inner radius = 1.25/2 = 0.625 m

V_{o}: is the outer volume

r_{o}: is the outer radius = 1.45/2 = 0.725 m

Then, the total volume of the Igloo is:

V_{T} = \frac{2}{3}\pi r_{o}^{3} - \frac{2}{3}\pi r_{i}^{3} = \frac{2}{3}\pi [(0.725 m)^{3} - (0.625 m)^{3}] = 0.29 m^{3}

Now, by using the density we can find the mass of the Igloo:

m = 19.3 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}*0.29 m^{3}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 5.60 \cdot 10^{6} g

Finally, the value (V) of the antiquity is:

V = \frac{\$ 1263}{oz}*5.60 \cdot 10^{6} g*\frac{1 oz}{31.1034768 g} = \$ 227.4 \cdot 10^{6}  

Therefore, the value of the Golden Igloo is $227.4 million.

I hope it helps you!
