Explain how to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as a rock

1 answer:

6 0

If you have no way to accurately measure all of the object's bumps and dimples, then the only way to measure its volume is by means of fluid displacement.

-- Put some water into a graduated (marked) container, read the amount of water, drop the object into the container, and read the new volume in the container. The volume of the object is the difference between the two readings.

-- Alternatively, stand an unmarked container in a large pan, and fill it to the brim. Slowly slowly lower the object into the unmarked container, while the pan catches the water that overflows from it. When the object is completely down in the container, carefully remove the container from the pan, and measure the volume of the water in the pan. It's equal to the volume of the object.

What can pressure be measured by?

SOVA2 [1]

'Pressure' is (force) / (area).

The only choice with those units is #1 .

Two rigid tanks of equal size and shape are filled with different gases. The tank on the left contains oxygen, and the tank on t

fredd [130]

Answer:

The number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of oxygen, $M_O=32$

Molar mass of hydrogen, $M_H=2$

We know ideal gas law as:

$PV=nRT$

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n= no. of moles of the gas molecules

R = universal gs constant

T = temperature of the gas

∵ $n=\frac{m}{M}$

where:

m = mass of gas in grams

M = molecular mass of the gas

∴Eq. (1) can be written as:

$PV=\frac{m}{M}.RT$

$P=\frac{m}{V}.\frac{RT}{M}$

as: $\frac{m}{V}=\rho\ (\rm density)$

So,

$P=\rho.\frac{RT}{M}$

Now, according to given we have T,P,R same for both the gases.

$P_O=P_H$

$\rho_O.\frac{RT}{M_O}=\rho_H.\frac{RT}{M_H}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\rho_O}{32}=\frac{\rho_H}{2}$

$\rho_O=16\rho_H$

∴The molecules of oxygen are more densely packed than the molecules of hydrogen in the same volume at the same temperature and pressure. So, the number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

Water (2510 g ) is heated until it just begins to boil. if the water absorbs 5.01×105 j of heat in the process, what was the ini

natka813 [3]

E=energy=5.09x10^5J = 509KJ
M=mass=2250g=2.25Kg 
C=specific heat capacity of water= 4.18KJ/Kg 
ΔT= change in temp= ? 
E=mcΔT 
509=(2.25)x(4.18)xΔT 
509=9.405ΔT 
ΔT=509/9.405=54.1degrees 
Initial temp = 100-54 = 46 degrees 
Hope this helps :)
