A boy found a solid metal box in his backyard. The box had been buried for so long, it was difficult to determine from what the

box was made. The boy measured the box and found its volume (v) to be 17.63 cubic centimeters (cm3) and its mass (m) to be 158 grams (g). The boy knows the formula for density (D) is D = m/v. This table shows the density of several metals. DENSITY OF METALS *
A. copper
B. gold
C. silver
D. tin​

Answer:

Box is made up of <em>copper</em>, because density is <em>8.96  g/cm³.</em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of box = 17.63 cm³

Mass of box = 158 g

Which metal box is this = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate the density of box then we will compare it with the density value of given metals.

d = m/v

d = 158 g/ 17.63 cm³

d = 8.96  g/cm³

The calculated density is similar to the given density value of copper thus box is made up of copper.

In the winter , people often buy large bags of rock salt to sprinkle on their walkways . Why do people do this?
slamgirl [31]

The salt causes the water to freeze at a lower temperature. When a solute, aka salt, is introduced to the system, the freezing point is lowered. This makes the water freeze at a lower temperature.

Determine the mass of CaCO3 required to produce 40.0 mL CO2 at STP. Hint use molar volume of an ideal gas (22.4 L)
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

m_{CaCO_3}=0.179gCaCO_3

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction is:

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

The corresponding moles of carbon dioxide occupying 40.0 mL (0.0400 L) are computed by using the ideal gas equation at 273.15 K and 1.00 atm (STP) as follows:

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1.00 atm*0.0400L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15 K})=1.79x10^{-3} mol CO_2

Then, since the mole ratio between carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate is 1:1 and the molar mass of the reactant is 100 g/mol, the mass that yields such volume turns out:

m_{CaCO_3}=1.79x10^{-3}molCO_2*\frac{1molCaCO_3}{1molCO_2} *\frac{100g CaCO_3}{1molCaCO_3}\\ \\m_{CaCO_3}=0.179gCaCO_3

Regards.

What volume of 0.152 M KMnO4 solution would completely react with 20.0 mL of 0.381 M FeSO4 solution according to the following n
ANEK [815]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) is 10.0 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}     .....(1)

Molarity of ferrous sulfate solution = 0.381 M

Volume of solution = 20.0 mL = 0.020 L   (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.381M=\frac{\text{Moles of ferrous sulfate}}{0.020L}\\\\\text{Moles of ferrous sulfate}=(0.381mol/L\times 0.020L)=0.00762mol

For the given chemical equation:

5Fe^{2+}+8H^++MnO_4^-\rightarrow 5Fe^{3+}+Mn^{2+}+4H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

5 moles of iron (II) ions (ferrous sulfate) reacts with 1 mole of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)

So, 0.00762 moles of iron (II) ions (ferrous sulfate) will react with = \frac{1}{5}\times 0.00762=0.00152mol of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)

Now, calculating the volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) = 0.152 M

Moles of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) = 0.00152 mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.152mol/L=\frac{0.00152mol}{\text{Volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)}}\\\\\text{Volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)}=\frac{0.00152mol}{0.152mol/L}=0.01L=10.0mL

Hence, the volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) is 10.0 mL
