Answer is: density doesn't affect on weigh.
Density <span>of a substance is its </span>mass<span> per unit </span>volume, <span>density is defined as mass divided by volume (d = m/V).
</span>Weight is force<span> on the object due to </span>gravity. Weight is <span>product of the </span>mass<span> of substance and the magnitude of the local </span>gravitational acceleration (<span>W = <span>mg). Feather can have larger mass and also weight.</span></span>

<span>How iron can be more dense as a feather yet more feathers can weigh more is because density and weight are two completely different things. No matter how many feathers there are it's density never changes, it's weight is able to change but not density. Therefore the density of iron is higher no matter what but may weigh less than a group of feathers.</span>

You add 28 grams of carbon. You find the actual yield to be 181.2 grams of CO2. What is the percent yield of CO2?
liraira [26]

Answer:

79.14%

Explanation:

Given the equation : 2Fe2O3 + 3C 4Fe + 3C02

The theoretical yield of CO2 ; is 102.6g

Actual yield = 81.2 gram

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%

Percentage yield = (81.2 / 102.6) * 100%

Percentage yield = 0.7914230 * 100%

Percentage yield = 79.14%

Hence, tbe percentage yield of CO2 is 79.14%

A hydrogen atom with its electron in the n = 6 energy level emits a photon of IR light. Calculate (a) the change in energy of th
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

(a) The change in energy of the atom is --6.0528 X 10⁻²⁰ J

(b) The wavelength of the photon is 32841 Å

Explanation:

E = -kz²/n²

Where;

E is the change in the energy of the atom

k is a constant = 2.179 X 10¹⁸ J

z is the atomic number of hydrogen = 1

n = 6

E = -(1 X 2.179 X 10⁻¹⁸ )/6²

E = -6.0528 X 10⁻²⁰ J

Therefore,the change in energy of the atom is -6.0528 X 10⁻²⁰ J

(b) the wavelength (in Å) of the photon, can be calculated as follows;

E = hc/λ

λ = hc/E

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 X 10⁻³⁴ js

c is the speed of light = 3 X 10⁸ m/s

λ  is the wavelength of the photon

λ  = (6.626 X 10⁻³⁴ X 3 X 10⁸ )/(6.0528 X 10⁻²⁰)

λ  = 3.2841 X 10⁻⁶ m

λ  = 32841 Å

Therefore, the wavelength of the photon is 32841 Å

Alchemist made which of the following contributions to the development of chemistry?
a_sh-v [17]
Alchemists advanced the tools and procedures for working with chemicals. Alchemists also developed methods for sorting out mixtures and cleansing chemicals. They designed equipment that is still in use today including beakers, flasks, tongs, funnels, and the mortar and pestle. Also, Alchemists backed to an unbelievable variety of what would later be acquainted as chemical industries: basic metallurgy, metalworking, the invention of inks, dyes, paints, and cosmetics, leather-tanning, and the preparation of extracts and liquors.
