Claim The student hopes the samples are gold, which has a density of 19.3 g/cm3 . A local geologist suggested that samples might

be pyrite, which is a mineral with a density of 5.01 g/cm3 . What is the identity of the unknown sample

spin [16.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Pyrite.

Explanation:

In this case, for the given samples, we compute the densities considering that the volume of each sample is computed by the difference between the volume of the water + sample and the volume of water:

\rho_1=\frac{50.25g}{(60.3-50.1)mL}=4.92g/mL\\ \\\rho_2=\frac{63.56g}{(62.5-49.8)mL}=5.01g/mL\\\\\rho_3=\frac{g}{(61.5-50.2)mL}=5.10g/mL\\\\\rho_4=\frac{55.35g}{(56.7-45.6)mL}=4.99g/mL\\\\\rho_5=\frac{74.92g}{(65.3-50.3)mL}=4.99g/mL\\\\\rho_6=\frac{67.78g}{(60.8-47.5)mL}=5.10g/mL

Therefore, since the density of the samples are closer to the density of pyrite (5.01 g/cm³) we conclude that the samples are more like to be pyrite.

Best regards.

Which of the following is NOT a way that reducing biodiversity directly impacts humans?
Zepler [3.9K]

C. Fewer habitats for wild animals to live in

Explanation:

Biodiversity does not directly impact humans in that there are fewer habitats for wild animals to live in. This is a direct impact on animals and not humans.

Biodiversity is the variation of life forms in an area. It is measured by the ability of the ecosystem to sustain different life forms and keep their interaction with the environment.

It helps to maintain and sustain life.

To humans, reducing biodiversity;

  • reduces the potential of medicine derived from other organisms. When their habitat is lost, we lose them.
  • fewer ecosystems to appreciate for beauty and recreation. It leads to loss of the ecosystem.
  • fewer wild food species for humans to eat.

Loss of habitat directly affects wild animals and not man.

What type of energy has caused the fewest deaths per unit of energy produced?
mash [69]

Answer: Nuclear energy is by far the safest energy source in this comparison – it results in more than 442 times fewer deaths than the 'dirtiest' forms of coal; 330 times fewer than coal; 250 times less than oil; and 38 times fewer than gas.

A solution is made by mixing of water and of acetic acid . Calculate the mole fraction of water in this solution. Be sure your a
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The answer is "0.35".

Explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

Mass of CH_3C0_2 H= 77 \ g \\\\

Molar mass of CH_3C0_2 H = 60.05 \  \frac{g}{mol} \\\\

No of moles in n_{CH_3CO_2H} = 77 \ g \times  \frac{1 \ mol \ CH_3C0_2H}{60.05 \ g}  

                                          = 1.28 \ mol \ CH_3CO_2H

Mass of water (H_2O)= 42 \ g

The molar mass of water (H_2O)= 18.02 \  \frac{g}{mol}

moles of water n_{H_2O}:

= 42 \ g \times \frac{1 mol H_2O}{18.02 \ g} \\\\= 2.33 \ mol \ H_2 O

Molfraction of acetic acid:

X CH_2CO_2H = \frac{n_{CH_3CO_2H}}{n_CH_3CO_2H +n_{H_2}}\\\\

                     =\frac{1.28 \ mol}{1.28 \ mo1 + 2.33 mol}\\\\ = 0.354\\\\= 0.35

Which conversion factor do you use first to calculate the number of grams of CO 2 produced by the reaction of 50.6 g of CH 4 wit
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Thus, first conversion of mass of methane into moles by dividing it with 16.04 g/mol

Mass =  138.63 g

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is shown below:-

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Firstly the moles of methane gas reacted must be calculate as:-

Given, mass of methane = 50.6 g

Molar mass of methane gas = 16.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is:-

Moles=\frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}=\frac{50.6}{16.04}\ mol=3.15\ mol

Thus, from the reaction stoichiometry,

1 mole of methane produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide

Also,

3.15 mole of methane produces 3.15 mole of carbon dioxide

Moles of CO_2 = 3.15 mole

Molar mass of CO_2 = 44.01 g/mol

Mass = Moles*Molar mass = 3.15\times 44.01 g = 138.63 g
