Specific gravity <span> is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water - at a specified temperature and can be expressed as. SG = ρ</span>substance<span> / ρ</span>H2O<span> . We calculate as follows:

</span>0.789 = ρsubstance / 1000 kg/m^3
ρsubstance = 789 kg / m^3

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

1.15 g of a metallic element needs 300 cm3 of oxygen for complete reaction, at 298 K and 1 atm
sashaice [31]
1) Calculate the number of moles of O2 (g) in 300 cm^3 of gas at 298 k and 1 atm


Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT


R = 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol

V = 300 cm^3 = 0.300 liter

T = 298 K

p = 1 atm


=> n = 1 atm * 0.300 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter /K*mol) * 298K] = 0.01226 mol


2) The reaction of a metal with O2(g) to form an ionic compound (with O2- ions) is of the type


X (+) + O2 (g) ---> X2O          or   


2 X(2+) + O2(g) ----> X2O2 = 2XO     or


4X(3+) + 3O2(g) ---> 2X2O3


 
In the first case, 1 mol of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the second case, 2 moles of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the third, 4 moles of X react with 3 moles of O2(g)



So, lets probe those 3 cases.


3) Case 1: 1 mol of metal X / 1 mol O2(g) = x moles / 0.01226 mol

=> x = 0.01226 moles of metal X


Now you can calculate the atomic mass of the hypotethical metal:

1.15 grams / 0.01226 mol = 93.8 g / mol


That does not correspond to any of the metal with valence 1+


So, now probe the case 2.



4) Case 2:


2moles X metal / 1 mol O2(g) = x / 0.01226 mol


=> x = 2 * 0.01226 = 0.02452 mol


And the atomic mass of the metal is: 1.15 g / 0.02452 mol = 46.9 g/mol


That is similar to the atomic mass of titanium which is 47.9 g / mol and whose valece is 2+.


4) Case 3


4 mol meta X / 3 mol O2 = x / 0.01226 => x = 0.01226 * 4 / 3 = 0.01635 


atomic mass = 1.15 g / 0.01635 mol = 70.33 g/mol


That does not correspond to any metal.


Conclusion: the identity of the metallic element could be titanium.

How does mass affect potential energy?
Andreyy89

What i would say: The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increases as weight and height increases.

Hope this helps! :)
