Assuming a ton is 2,000 lbs use the following equation to figure out how many grams of gold by mass there is:
***NOTE*** if this is a metric ton then the conversion will be 1 metric ton = 1000 kg

1.25 tons x 2000 lb/ton = 2,500 lbs
2,500 lbs x .4535 kg/lbs = 1133.75kg x 1000 g/kg = 1,133,750 g
IF METRIC TON then 1.25 x 1000 = 1250 x 1000g/kg = 1,250,000 g

because it says 0.25% and a pecent is out of a 100, you must divide that percentage by 100 
use fraction of: 0.25%/100 = 0.0025

(easy way to think about this is if it were 50% gold by mass, then you would multiple the total tonnage by .5 (50/100 = .5), so 0.25% = 0.0025)

1,113,750g x .0025 = 2834 g of gold

if metric ton 1,250,000 x 0.0025 = 3125 g of ogld

If a 250.0 mL sealed plastic bag starts out at a temperature of 19.0 °C and after sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 60
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

If the pressure remains constant then the temperature and Volume are all that you have to consider.

Givens

T1 = 19oC = 19 + 273 = 292o K

T2 = 60oC = 60 + 273 = 333oK

V1 = 250 mL

V2 = x

Formula

V1/T1 = V2/T2

250/292 = x/333                

Solution.

The solves rather neatly.  Multiplly both sides by 333

250*333 / 292 = 333 *x / 333

Do the multiplication

250 * 333 / 292 = x

83250 / 292 = x

Divide by 292

x = 285.1 mL

The answer is D
