Answer:

453.592 grams

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 1 lb

Required.

Convert to grams using dimensional analysis

Represent 1 lb with x g

In unit conversion, we have that.

1 lb = 453.592 g

So:

Getting the equivalent of lb in g, we have:

x g = 1 lb * (453.592 g/ 1 lb)

x g = 1 * 453.592 g

x g = 453.592 grams

Hence:

The equivalent of 1 lb in grams is 453.592 grams

What happens to the density of a substance when it is heated? Explain your answer.
hoa [83]

Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density. Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.

Chemistry to make tomato soup, you add one can of water to the condensed soup. why is this dilution?
Nastasia [14]
Dilution refers to decreasing the ratio of total solution to the reference solution by the addition of other liquids. By adding water to tomato soup, the balance of “tomato soup” molecules decreases from 100% tomato soup, to eventually 1:1 TS and Water (50%), and so on. Chemically, you can observe this as decreasing the concentration of tomato soup in this solution.
