The density of gold is 19.3. If I have a nugget with the volume of 10cm3, what is the mass of the cube?
aleksklad [387]
<h3>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - </h3>

➷ density = mass/volume

Rearrange for mass

mass = density x volume

Substitute the values:

mass = 19.3 x 10

Solve:

mass = 193g

➶ Hope This Helps You!

➶ Good Luck (:

A gold atom in its neutral state has how many electrons
riadik2000 [5.3K]
To find the number of electrons in a neutral gold atom look at it's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the element. For an atom to be neutral it needs the same number of electrons as protons, therefore the positive and negative charges will be balanced out. Gold's atomic number is 79 therefore it has 79 electrons.

Chalcopyrite is an ore with the composition cufes2. what is the percentage of iron in a 39.6 g sample of this ore? answer in uni
iren2701 [21]
<span>Well it depends on percentage by what, but I'll just assume that it's percentage by mass. For this, we look at the atomic masses of the elements present in the compound. Cu has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu Fe has 55.845 amu and S has 36.065 amu Since there are 2 molecules of Sulfur for each one of Cu and Fe, we'll multiply the Sulfur atomic weight by 2 to obtain 72.13 amu So we have not established the mass of the compound in amus 63.546 + 55.845 + 72.13 = 191.521 That is the atomic mass of Chalcopyrite. and Iron's atomic mass is 55.845 So to get the percentage, or fraction of iron, we take 55.845 / 191.521 Which comes out to 29.15% by mass Mass of the sample is not needed for this calculation, but since the question mentions it I would go ahead and check if the question isn't also asking for the mass of Iron in the sample as well, in which case you just find the 29.15% of 67.7g</span>

What product would you obtain if you evaporate the water from the naoh layer prior to acidifying the layer?
AlekseyPX

 The  product that you obtain if you evaporate the water from the NaoH layer prior  to acidifying the layer  is    salt of <u> para - tery-butyphenol</u>


<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • Para-tery-butyphenol    can be isolate after extracting it into NaOH solution  through  carrying out
  1.  heating  and  then cooling,
  2. then  3M  of HCl  is added to acidify.
  3. Then ice bath is done   if needed
  4. finally  the precipitate is filtered.
  • Para tery butyphenol  can be used  for production  of alkylphenolic.

What is a synthesis reaction? a reaction that occurs when two or more reactants combine into one product
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A synthesis reaction is <em>a reaction that occurs when two or more reactants combine into one product.</em>

Explanation:

A reaction that occurs when two or more reactants combine into one product is called a synthesis reaction.

A reaction that occurs when one element within a compound is exchanged with another element is called a single replacement reaction.

A reaction that occurs when a substance combines with molecular oxygen, releasing light and energy is called combustion.

A reaction that occurs when a single substance breaks apart and forms two or more new substances is called decomposition.
