This graduated cylinder has numbers representing milliliters. A student says that the volume of the liquid inside is 21.8 millil

iters. What best explains why the student is wrong? 21.8 is at the top of the meniscus, but volume should be measured in the middle of the meniscus. 21.8 is at the top of the meniscus, but volume should be measured at the bottom of the meniscus. Since the lines are only marked with whole numbers, the student must round to a whole number. Since the whole numbers represent milliliters, the student must use a unit smaller than milliliters.

Explanation:

The answer for this question depends on the type of meniscus in the cylinder. If it is an upright meniscus like in water, the reading should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus. However if it is an inverted meniscus like in mercury, the reading should be taken at the top of the meniscus.

If 16.0 mL of acetone is dissolved in water to make 155 mL of solution what is the concentration expressed in volume/volume % of
Lady_Fox [76]
Percentage by volume of solution is the percentage volume of solute in total volume of solution.
Volume percentage (v/v%) = volume of solute / total volume of solution x 100%
volume of solute - 16.0 mL
total volume of solution - 155 mL 
v/v% = 16.0 / 155 x 100% = 10.32%
this means that in a volume of 100 mL solution, 10.32 mL is acetone.

What is the mass of 4.56 moles of copper (ii) fluoride​
musickatia [10]

Answer:

463.0 g.

Explanation:

  • We can use the following relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass.</em>

where, n is the mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ (m = 4.56 mol),

mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = ??? g.

molar mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = 101.543 g/mol.

∴ mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = (n)(molar mass) = (4.56 mol)(101.543 g/mol) = 463.0 g.
