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

Suppose that you add 26.7 g of an unknown molecular compound to 0.250 kg of benzene, which has a K f Kf of 5.12 oC/m. With the a
kiruha [24]

From the calculation, the molar mass of the solution is 141 g/mol.

<h3>What is the molar mass?</h3>

We know that;

ΔT = K m i

K = the freezing constant

m = molality of the solution

i = the Van't Hoft factor

The molality of the solution is obtained from;

m = ΔT/K i

m = 3.89/5.12 * 1

m = 0.76 m

Now;

0.76 =  26.7 /MM/0.250

0.76 = 26.7 /0.250MM

0.76 * 0.250MM =  26.7

MM= 26.7/0.76 * 0.250

MM = 141 g/mol

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Zn + CuSO4 —> ZnSO4 + Cu

Explanation:

Zn is higher than Cu in electrochemical series and so will displaces Cu in solution according to the equation:

Zn + CuSO4 —> ZnSO4 + Cu

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. Solve for the number of bacteria tha
pshichka [43]
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
