What family of elements is unreactive and why?

2. Sitting on a bench top are several samples: lithium metal (d = 0.53 g/mL), gold (d = 19.3 g/mL), aluminum (d = 2.70 g/mL), an

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The sample of lithium occupies the largest volume.

Explanation:

Given the densities for the four elements, we have the expression $d=\frac{m}{V}$ that shows the relationship between mass and Volume to express the density of an element.

For each element we have:

$d_{lithium}=\frac{m_{lithium}}{V_{lithium}}=0.53g/mL$

$d_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{V_{gold}}=19.3g/mL$

$d_{aluminum}=\frac{m_{aluminum}}{V_{aluminum}}=2.70g/mL$

$d_{lead}=\frac{m_{lead}}{V_{lead}}=11.3g/mL$

The problem says that all the samples have the same mass, so:

$m_{lithium}=m_{gold}=m_{aluminum}=m_{lead}=m$

it means that m is a constant

Now, solving for the Volume in each element and with m as a constant, we have:

$V_{lithium}=\frac{m}{d_{lithium}}$

$V_{lithium}=\frac{1}{0.53\frac{g}{mL}} *m$

$V_{lithium}=1.88\frac{mL}{g}*m$

$V_{gold}=\frac{m}{d_{gold}}$

$V_{gold}=\frac{1}{19.3\frac{g}{mL}} *m$

$V_{gold}=5.18*10^{-2}\frac{mL}{g}*m$

$V_{aluminum}=\frac{m}{d_{aluminum}}$

$V_{aluminum}=\frac{1}{2.70\frac{g}{mL}} *m$

$V_{aluminum}=3.70*10^{-1}\frac{mL}{g}*m$

$V_{lead}=\frac{m}{d_{lead}}$

$V_{lead}=\frac{1}{11.3\frac{g}{mL}} *m$

$V_{lead}=8.85*10^{-2}\frac{mL}{g}*m$

If we assume m = 1g, we find that:

$V_{lithium}=1.88mL$

$V_{gold}=5.18*10^{-2}mL$

$V_{aluminum}=3.70*10^{-1}mL$

$V_{lead}=8.85*10^{-2}mL$

So we can see that the sample of lithium occupies the largest volume with 1.88mL

Note that m only can take positive values, so if you change the value of m, always will be the lithium which occupies the largest volume.

How can flood water affect the public drinking water supply?

storchak [24]

Flood water will ruin the clean water. This will cause the water to be undrinkable. Flood water will get into homes and ruin roads. Even though it may seem like it is doing a good thing by adding more water, the water is not filtered and clean for drinking.

balandron [24]

The complete statement will be "Support gases system are subject to the same hazards as, present in any piped medical gas system with the additional hazard of higher pressure"

<h3>What are gas systems?</h3>

Generally, A gas system is simply defined as an assemblage of tubes, used for gas reticulation and circulation.

In conclusion, a higher pressure will be experienced as an additional hazard to the medical gas system.
