A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density less than that of the liquid. Given that the dens

ity of water is approximately 1.0 g/mL, will a block of material having a volume of 1.2 x 10^4 in^3 and weighing 350 lb float or sink when placed in a reservoir of water? [I just don't want the answer, I'd like to know how to solve this, please.]

Given:
density of water is <span>approximately 1.0 g/mL
block of material
</span><span>volume of 1.2 x 10^4 in^3
and weighing 350 lb
</span>
Required:
Which will float

Solution:
D = M/V where D is density, M is mass and V is volume

convert <span>1.2 x 10^4 in^3 into mL
</span><span>1.2 x 10^4 in^3 (16.39 mL/ 1 in3) = 196,980 mL
</span>
convert <span>350 lb into grams
350 lb (454 grams/1 lb) = 158,900 grams

D = M/V = </span>158,900 grams/ <span>196,980 mL
D = 0.807 g/mL

The block will float in water because it is less dense than water</span>

Write a method that could be used to produce pure crystals of copper chloride from copper oxide and hydrochloric acid.
joja [24]

- Describe how you would make the salt from the reactants.

CuO + 2 HCl → CuCl₂ + H₂O

- Describe how you would purify the salt from the reaction mixture.

Filter the solution and let the product crystallize.

Explanation:

The reaction between copper oxide (CuO) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) will produce copper chloride (CuCl₂) and water:

CuO + 2 HCl → CuCl₂ + H₂O

-Describe how you would make the salt from the reactants

In a beaker which contain cooper oxide add the hydrochloric acid. To avoid working with concentrated hydrochloric acid, the acid may be diluted with water but make sure the add the stoechiometric amount (and a little bit of excess) in respect with the copper oxide.

-Describe how you would purify the salt from the reaction mixture.

Let the reaction proceed and then filter the solution to remove the unreacted cooper oxide.

Let the filtered solution, which contain copper chloride, water and unreacted hydrochloric acid, to stand undisturbed for several days. You may see the crystals growing from the solution. To speed up the process you may reduce the temperature.
