Answer:

Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000

Explanation:

As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.

Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,

(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021

= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.

So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be

(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)

= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.

1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is

20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)

= $5,840,000,000,000,000

What is the density (g/mL) of an object that has a mass of 0.03 kg and occupies a volume of 25 mL?
tatyana61 [14]
First convert the kg to g ----- 0.03kg = 30g
Then divide the mass by the volume ----- 30g ÷ 25mL = 1.2
The density is 1.2g/mL<span />

What is created when an acid is mixed with a base?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

If you mix equal amounts of a strong acid and a strong base, the two chemicals essentially cancel each other out and produce a salt and water. Mixing equal amounts of a strong acid with a strong base also produces a neutral pH (pH = 7) solution.

Wha do u do when u get in a fight wit yo best friend?

Talk to them and listen to each other. if they aren’t ready to talk, give them space. once both of you are ready, you can make up and forgive each other. don’t bother them by asking a lot of questions and forcing them to talk to you. and if they’re doing that, tell them you need time to think. just be sure to talk to them, listen, and understand. tell each other both sides of the stories. of course, different situations can require different solutions. so resolve it when it’s time :)

A solution has a pOH of 8.7 so what is the pH of the solution? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
RSB [31]
PH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 8.7

pH = 5,3

This solution is <u>acidic</u>.

If pH<7 - acidic
If pH=7 - neutral
If pH>7 - basic
