Answer:

0.2615 g

Explanation:

Given that mass of the body = 120 lb

The conversion of lb to g is shown below as:-

1 lb = 454 g

So, 120 lb = 120*454 g = 54480 g

The substance is 4.8\times 10^{-4}\ \% of the human body

So, Mass of that substance in the body of mass 54480 g is:-

m=\frac{4.8\times 10^{-4}}{100}\times 54480\ g=0.2615\ g

<u>0.2615 g of that substance would be found in the body of a person weighing 120 lb.</u>

How many grams of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) will be formed from 10.0 grams of aluminum (Al)? 4 AL + 3 02 --&gt; 2 AL203​
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Mass = 18.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al₂O₃ formed = ?

Mass of Al = 10.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Al + 3O₂      →       2Al₂O₃

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 10.0 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.37 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Al and Al₂O₃.

                      Al          :          Al₂O₃

                       4           :            2

                     0.37        :         2/4×0.37 = 0.185 mol

Mass of Al₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.185 mol × 101.9 g/mol

Mass = 18.9 g

PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY AND ONLY IF U KNOW! IS IT A B C OR D?!
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

There are three states of mater; solid liquid and gas. The sold state is the difficult to compress while the gaseous state is quite easy to compress.

A gas is easily compressed because the particles in a gas are far apart from each other. A solid is difficult to compress because the particles of a solid are close together. From all the above statements, it is easily deducible that the compressibility property of a substance in a particular state of matter depends on the proximity of the particles to each other, hence the answer above.

The mass of a silver bracelet is 2.5 gram, it occupies a volume of 48cm3, what is its density?​
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.052 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 2.5 g

volume = 48 cm³

The density is

density =  \frac{2.5}{48}   \\  = 0.052083333...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.052 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Suppose you have a mixture of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and azulene (C10H8, you may wish to know the structure of azulene). Both co
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Aqueous layer (1 M HCI)

Explanation:

First of us I want to remind you of the cliché in chemistry that like dissolves like. In solvent extraction, a mixture is dissolved in a system consisting of two immiscible solvents. One layer is organic while the other layer is aqueous.

Polar substances partition in the aqueous layer while nonpolar substances partition in the organic layer.

Since Copper sulfate is ionic, we will find it in the aqueous layer according to the old chemistry cliche.
