Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³
If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³
The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
Answer:
The two ways to measure mass are subtraction and taring.
Answer is: the missing pressure is 1088.66 mmHg.
Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂.
p₁ = 960 mmHg; pressure of the gas.
T₁ = 100°C + 273.15.
T₁ = 373.15 K; temperature of the gas.
T₂ = 150°C + 273.15.
T₂ = 423.15 K.
p₂ = p₁T₂/T₁.
p₂ = 960 mmHg · 423.15 K / 373.15 K.
p₂ = 1088.66 mmHg.
