An irregular chunk of iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm3. A 14.5 gram chunk is added to a graduated cylinder. If the final volume

of the graduated cylinder is 39.8 mL, what would be the starting volume?

Answer:

37.96 mL

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Density (D) of iron = 7.87 g/cm³

Mass (m) of iron = 14.5 g

Volume of Cylinder + Iron = 39.8 mL

Volume of Cylinder =?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the chunk of iron. This can be obtained as follow:

Density (D) of iron = 7.87 g/cm³

Mass (m) of iron = 14.5 g

Volume (V) of iron =?

D = m/V

7.87 = 14.5 /V

Cross multiply

7.87 × V = 14.5

Divide both side by 7.87

V = 14.5 / 7.87

V = 1.84 cm³

Recall:

1 cm³ = 1 mL

Therefore,

1.84 cm³ = 1.84 mL

Therefore, the volume of the chunk of iron is 1.84 mL.

Finally, we shall determine the starting volume of the cylinder as follow:

Volume of Cylinder + Iron = 39.8 mL

Volume of Iron = 1.84 mL.

Volume of Cylinder =?

Volume of Cylinder = (Volume of Cylinder + Iron) – Volume of Iron

Volume of Cylinder = 39.8 – 1.84

Volume of Cylinder = 37.96 mL

Therefore the starting volume of cylinder is 37.96 mL

State two methods to increase the rate of the chemical reaction and explain
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

METHOD 1: (surface area of a solid reactant)  METHOD 2: (concentration or pressure of a reactant)

Explanation:

METHOD 1: (surface area of a solid reactant) Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.

METHOD 2: (concentration or pressure of a reactant) Increasing the concentration means that we have more particles in the same volume of solution. This increases the chance of collisions between reactant particles, resulting in more collisions in any given time and a faster reaction. As we increase the pressure of reacting gases, we increase the rate of reaction.

Why is carbon used to extract metals from their oxides? ​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon. The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal.
