Answer:
7g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of sodium = 3g
Mass of chlorine = 4g
Unknown:
Total mass of sodium chloride = ?
Solution:
This problem entails the direct application of the law of conservation of mass. According to this law, it states that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction".
So, when sodium and chlorine combines to form sodium chloride, to are expect to produce substance with a mass which adds up to the sum of the reactants;
Mass of sodium chloride = mass of sodium + mass of chlorine
= 3g + 4g
= 7g
The answer for this one would be A because
Answer:
30g
Explanation:
According to this question, a sulfur-containing compound is said to contain 15 percent by mass of sulfur. This means that 15% of the total mass of the compound is the mass of sulfur in the compound.
The question further states that there is a total of 200g of the compound containing sulfur, this means that the mass of sulfur can be calculated this:
Mass of sulfur = 15% of 200g
15/100 × 200g
15 × 2
30g
Hence, there are 30g of sulfur in 200g of the sulfur containing compound.
Answer:
- the specific gravity of the block is 0.75
- the specific gravity of the solution is 1.5
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
first we find the specific gravity of a block SGB
SGB = ( block vol below / total block vol ) × the specific gravity of water
we substitute
SG = ( 1.5 / (1.5 + 0.5 ) ) × 1
SG = ( 1.5 / (1.5 + 0.5 ) ) × 1
SG = (1.5 / 2) × 1
SG = 0.75
Therefore, the specific gravity of the block is 0.75
specific gravity of solution SG
SG = (total block vol / block below ) × SG
we substitute
SG = ( 2 / 1 ) × 0.75
SG = 2 × 0.75
SG = 1.5
Therefore, the specific gravity of the solution is 1.5
