2. In a well-known movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, there is a famous scene in which the hero tries to outwit the designers of a

trap by replacing a gold statue with a bag of sand of about the same volume.
a) Knowing that the density of gold is 19.3 g/mL and sand is 3.1 g/mL, does this seem like a scientifically reasonable plan? Why or why not?

b) In the movie, the hero grabs the gold statue with one hand and appears to handle it quite easily. Given that the volume of the statue appears to be about 1 L, find the mass of the statue.

Answer:

I cant answer B, but I can answer A, and I don't think it is  a scientifically reasonable plan.  

Explanation:

The bag of sand weighs less than the gold statue, and yes the bag of sand seems like it would keep the trap from activating, but you would scientifically have to put something that was the same weight as the gold statue on the pedestal that the statue is on.

What is the mole fraction of solute in a 3.19 m aqueous solution?
Bumek [7]
Molality= mol/ Kg

if we assume that we have 1 kg of water, we have 3.19 moles of solute. 

the formula for mole fraction --> mole fraction= mol of solule/ mol of solution

1) if we have 1 kg of water which is same as 1000 grams of water. 

2) we need to convert grams to moles using the molar mass of water 

molar mass of H₂O= (2 x 1.01) + 16.0 = 18.02 g/mol

1000 g (1 mol/ 18.02 grams)= 55.5 mol

3) mole of solution= 55.5 moles + 3.19 moles= 58.7 moles of solution

4) mole fraction= 3.19 / 58.7= 0.0543

If a reaction vessel initially contains 5 mol S and 10 mil O2, how many moles of S will be in the reaction vessel once the react
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

2S       +       3O₂       =       2SO₃

2moles      3 moles

2 moles of S react with 3 moles of O₂

5 moles of S will react with 3 x 5 / 2 moles of O₂

= 7.5 moles of O₂ .

O₂ remaining unreacted = 10 - 7.5 = 2.5 moles .

All the moles of S will exhausted in the reaction and 2.5 moles of oxygen will be left .

According to the kinetic molecular theory, temperature is directly proportional
rjkz [21]

Answer:

According to Kinetic Molecular theory, Temperature is directly proportional to the Average Kinetic energy of a molecules.

Explanation:

If the mass of the particles in a container is constant, then its moving molecules cause the gas gets warmer. On collision of molecules, Kinetic energy of molecules get high, so as a result, temperature gets high.

Fast moving of particles increases the temperature.
