If eggs are so fragile, how do they actually protect the growing bird?

Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust. The oval shape applies the same rules of engineering as an arched bridge; the convex surface can withstand considerable pressure without breaking.

The British gold sovereign coin is an alloy of gold and copper having a total mass of 7.988 g, and is 22-karat gold.

azamat

Answer:

(a) $m_{gold}=7.322g$

(b)

$V_{gold}=0.379cm^3$

$V_{copper}=0.122cm^3$

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, with the given formula we easily compute the mass of gold contained in the sovereign as shown below:

$m_{gold}=\frac{m_{tota}*karats}{24}=\frac{7.988g*22}{24}=7.322g$

(b) Now, by knowing the density of gold and copper, 19.32 and 8.94 g/cm³ respectively, we compute each volume, by also knowing that the rest of the coin contains copper:

$V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}} =\frac{7.322g}{19.32g/cm^3}=0.379cm^3$

$m_{copper}=7.988g-7.322g=1.09g\\V_{copper}=\frac{m_{copper}}{\rho_{copper}}=\frac{1.09g}{8.94g/cm^3} \\\\V_{copper}=0.122cm^3$

$\rho _{coin}=\frac{m_{total}}{V_{gold}+V_{copper}}=\frac{7.988 g}{0.379cm^3+0.122cm^3}\\ \\\rho _{coin}=15.94g/cm^3$

Best regards.

How many grams of pure naoh must be used to prepare 10.0 l of a solution that has a ph of 13? __________g?

padilas [110]

40 g NaOH. You must use 40 g NaOH to prepare 10.0 L of a solution that has a pH of 13.

Step 1. Calculate the pOH of the solution

pOH = 14.00 – pH = 14.00 -13 = 1

Step 2. Calculate the concentration of NaOH

[NaOH] = [OH^(-)] = 10^(-pOH) mol/L = 10^(-1) mol/L = 0.1 mol/L

Step 3. Calculate the moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 10.0 L solution × (0.1 mol NaOH/1 L solution) = 1 mol NaOH

Step 4. Calculate the mass of NaOH

Mass of NaOH = 1 mol NaOH × (40.00 g NaOH/1 mol NaOH) = 40 g NaOH

A sample of gas occurs 9.0mL at a pressure of 500mmHg. A new volume of the same sample is at 750mmHg. Use two significant figure

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

V₂ = 6.0 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 9.0 mL

Initial pressure = 500 mmHg

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 750 mmHg

Solution:

According to Boyle's Law

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = 500 mmHg × 9.0 mL / 750 mmHg

V₂ = 4500 mmHg .mL / 750 mmHg

V₂ = 6.0 mL

Why does hydrogen peroxide turn your skin white

Julli [10]

Answer:

Hydrogen Peroxide is known as a dental “debriding agent”. But when used on skin for minor wounds it will foam and turn surrounding tissue white. ... H2O2 decomposes easily to make water (H2O) and a single free oxygen atom which is looking for something to react with - like your skin.
