Answer:
A. percentage mass of iron = 5.17%
percentage mass of sand = 8.62%
percentage mass of water = 86.205%
B. (Iron + sand + water) -------> ( iron + sand) ------> sand
C. The step of separation of iron and sand
Explanation:
A. Percentage mass of the mixtures:
Total mass of mixture = (15.0 + 25.0 + 250.0) g =290.0 g
percentage mass of iron = 15/290 * 100% = 5.17%
percentage mass of sand = 25/290 * 100% = 8.62%
percentage mass of water = 250/290 * 100% = 86.205%
B. Flow chart of separation procedure
(Iron + sand + water) -------> separation by filtration using filter paper and funnel to remove water --------> ( iron + sand) -----------> separation using magnet to remove iron ------> sand
C. The step of separation of iron and sand by magnetization of iron will have the highest amount of error because during the process, some iron particles may not readily be attracted to the magnet as they may have become interlaced in-between sand grains. Also, some sand particle may also be attracted to the magnet as they are are borne on iron particles.
Using the given formula, the density of the material is 2.015 g/mL
<h3>Calculating Density </h3>
From the question, we are to determine the density of the material
From the given formula
Density = Mass / Volume
And from the given information,
Mass = 65.5 g
and volume = 32.5 mL
Putting the parameters into the equation,
Density = 65.5/32.5
Density = 2.015 g/mL
Hence, the density of the material is 2.015 g/mL.
