A shiny chunk of metal is found to have a mass of 37.28g. The metal is dropped into a graduated cylinder which contains 20.0 mL
of water. The volume of the cylinder rises to 34.0 mL. Determine the density of the metal. What might the metal be made of?
1 answer:
Answer: The density of the material is 2.66 g/mL and it is likely this is made of Aluminum
Explanation:
The first step to know the material of the chunk of metal is to calculate its density. The general formula for density is P (density) = . Moreover, in this case, it is known the mass is 37.28 g, but the volume is not directly provided. However, we know the water in the graduated cylinder had a volume of 20.0 mL and this increased to 34.0 mL when the chunk of metal is added, this means the volume of the metal is 14 mL (34.0 mL - 20.0 mL = 14 mL). Now let's calculate the density:
This means the density of this metal is 2.66 g/mL, which can be rounded as 2. 7 g/mL, and according to the chart, this is the density of aluminum. Therefore, this material of this chunk is aluminum.

Answer:
Benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde
Explanation:
Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon depends on it's positive charge density.
In benzaldehyde, phenyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating resonating effect.
In acetaldehyde, methyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating inductive effect.
We know that resonating effect are more stronger than inductive effect.
Henece, it is expected that positive charge density on carbonyl carbon is much lower in benzaldehyde than acetaldehyde.
So, benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde.
Resonating effect of phenyl group has been shown below.
Answer: pH of buffer solution is 8.1
Explanation:
The formula for the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is:
is the concentration of
is the acid dissociation constant,
and
are concentrations of the conjugate base and starting acid.
Putting in the values we get:
Thus pH of buffer solution is 8.1
