<span>Oxidation is the loss of electrons and corresponds to an increase in oxidation state. The reduction is the gain of electrons and corresponds to a decrease in oxidation state. Balancing redox reactions can be more complicated than balancing other types of reactions because both the mass and charge must be balanced. Redox reactions occurring in aqueous solutions can be balanced by using a special procedure called the half-reaction method of balancing. In this procedure, the overall equation is broken down into two half-reactions: one for oxidation and the other for reduction. The half-reactions are balanced individually and then added together so that the number of electrons generated in the oxidation half-reaction is the same as the number of electrons consumed in the reduction half-reaction.</span>
1) Dawn dish soap has a density of 1.06 g/mL. If the mass of a sample of the liquid is 1.00 g what is the volume?
Answer:
v = 0.94 mL
Explanation:
Density:
Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.
Units:
SI unit of density is Kg/m3.
Other units are given below,
g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L
Formula:
D=m/v
D= density
m=mass
V=volume
Given data:
Density of soap = 1.06 g/mL.
Mass = 1 g
Volume = ?
Solution:
d = m/v
v = m/d
v = 1 g/1.06 g/mL
v = 0.94 mL
2) Maple syrup has a density of 1.37 g.mL. What is the mass of 1.0 L of the maple syrup?
Answer:
m = 1370 g
Given data:
Density of soap = 1.37 g/mL.
Mass = ?
Volume = 1.0 L ( 1000 mL)
Formula:
D=m/v
D= density
m=mass
V=volume
Solution:
d = m/v
m = d × v
m = 1.37 g/mL × 1000 mL
m = 1370 g
3) The density of gasoline is 0.754 g/mL. A drop of gasoline has a mass of 22 g what is the volume?
Answer:
v = 29.2 mL
Given data:
Density of soap = 0.754 g/mL.
Mass = 22 g
Volume = ?
Formula:
D=m/v
D= density
m=mass
V=volume
Solution:
d = m/v
v = m/d
v = 22 g/0.754 g/mL
v = 29.2 mL
It would be water. Since the body is 60-75% water, it is important in chemical reactions within the body.
