The problem is giving us the volume, the density and is asking us for the mass. For this we can use the density equation (density=\frac{mass}{volume}) so we solve for mass which is our unknown(mass=density*volume).

We can´t just multiply this two because they are in different units so we solve this first by turning [gal] to [ml] with the equivalence of 1gal=3785.41 ml

29 gal *\frac{3785.41 ml}{1 gal} = 109776.89 ml

Now we can multiply:

mass=1.00\frac{g}{ml}*109776.89 ml=109776.89 g

The answer is requested in [pounds] so we solve this by turning [g] to [pounds] with the equivalence of 453.592 g =1 pound

109776.89 g *\frac{1 pound}{453.592 g} = 242.01 pounds

1. Convert gallons to mL. 1 gal = 3785.4117840007 mL, multiply that by 29 and get 109776.94173602 mL.

2. Since there is one gram per every mL, there are 109776.94173602 g of water in the fish tank.

3. Convert g to pounds. 1 g = 0.0022 pounds. Multiply 109776.94173602 by 0.0022 and end up with about 241.5 pounds of water.

A solution of copper sulfate (CuSO4) produced by bioleaching has a concentration of 0.319 g/dm3 Relative atomic masses (Ar): Cu
Tanya [424]

moles Cu produced : 0.002

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Concentration of copper sulfate (CuSO₄) : 0.319 g/dm³

MW CuSO₄ :

\tt =63.5+32+4\times 16=159.5~g/mol

mol CuSO₄ /dm³ :

\tt \dfrac{0.319}{159.5}=0.002

CuSO₄⇒Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

mol Cu : mol CuSO₄ = 1 : 1 , so mol Cu²⁺=0.002
