Answer: Mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

$Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Given : Mass of gas = ?

Density of gas = $1.29g/L$

Volume of gas = 389 ml = 0.389 L (1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

$1.29g/L=\frac{mass}{0.389L}$

$mass=0.5grams$

$mass=0.5\times 0.002lb=0.001lb$ (1g =0.002 lb)

Thus the mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

If the density of water is 1g/cm3 what is its specific gravity

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Specific gravity is the density of asubstance divided by the density of water. Since (at standard temperature and pressure) water has a density of 1 gram/cm3, and since all of the units cancel, specific gravity is usually very close to the same value as density(but without any units).

What does the 32.06 represent?

lana [24]

The 32.06 represent The atomic mass, the average number of protons & neutrons

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons in an atom of an element. If the atom is neutral then the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. So the atomic number can also indicate the number of electrons.

So atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons

Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons

So that the relationship between atomic numbers and mass numbers can be formulated as follows:

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

In the following element notation,

$\large {{{Z} \atop {A}} \right X}$
