Answer: D=8.27 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is mass/volume. Mass is in grams and volume is in liters. In this case, the problem wants our volume to be in cm³. All we need to do is to make some conversions to convert kg/m³ to g/cm³.

$D=\frac{38.3kg}{0.00463m^3} *\frac{(1m)^3}{(100cm)^3} *\frac{1000g}{1kg}$

With this equation, the m³ and kg cancel out, and we are left with g/cm³.

D=8.27 g/cm³

What happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure? The liquid freezes The intermolecular forces

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The liquid boils.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.

For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.

When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.

The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.

This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.

It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.

Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.

Determine how many grams of silver would be produced, if 12.83 x 10^23 atoms of copper react with an excess of silver nitrate. G

likoan [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of silver produced in the given reaction is 459.63 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an atom contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms.

For the given chemical equation:

$Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of copper produces 2 moles of silver.

This means that, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms of copper produces $2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms of silver.

So, $12.83\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms of copper will produce = $\frac{2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 12.83\times 10^{23}=25.66\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms of silver.
