All physical matter has a weight, volume, mass, and density. Physical matter has specific characteristics only in certain physical states. 
Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Matter is defined as the substance that has mass and occupies space. So basically a physical property of a substance helps us to determine whether a substance is matter or not.

As a property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, etc of a substance are all physical properties.

Thus, we can conclude that the defining characteristics of matter are physical properties.

1) A sample of copper has a mass of 4.75 g and a volume
lianna [129]

Answer:

<h2>8.92 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 4.75 g

volume = 0.5325 cm³

We have

density =  \frac{4.75}{0.5325}  \\  = 8.920187

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.92 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

a faucet is leaking water at a speed of 5 drops per minute. If 1 ml is equivalent to 10 drops, how many liters of water will be
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: 0.72 litres of water is wasted in one day.

Explanation:

First you need to find out how many minutes are in a day. Do this by multiplying the number of minutes in an hour (60) by the number of hours in a day (24). 24 x 60 = 1440. If the faucet is dripping at 5 drops per minute, then multiply 5 by the number of minutes in a day (1440) to see how many drops drip in one day. 5 x 1440 = 7200. Now we need to figure out how many mL fo water that is. if 10 drops is 1 mL, then we need to divide the total number of drops (7200) by 10. 7200 divided by 10 is 720. That means 720 mL of water is dripping per day. Finally, we must convert mL to litres. There are 1000 mL in one litre, so divide 720 by 1000. The final answer is 0.72

An unknown liquid has a mass of 30.8 g, and a volume of 31.5 mL. What is the density of this liquid?
julsineya [31]

The density of the liquid is 0.98 g/mL

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Density = mass / volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the density of the liquid.

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>
  • Mass = 30.8 g
  • Volume = 31.5 mL
  • Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density of liquid = 30.8 / 31.5

Density of liquid = 0.98 g/mL

Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

Explanation:

The half-life time = the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. Half of it's value = 50%.

To calculate the half-life time we use the following equation:

[At]=[Ai]*e^(-kt)

with [At] = Concentration at time t

with [Ai] = initial concentration

with k = rate constant

with t = time

We want to know the half-life  time = the time needed to have 50% of it's initial value

50 = 100 *e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^- * t)

50/100 = e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 * t)

ln (0.5) = 8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 *t

t= ln (0.5) / -8.7 *10^-3  = 79.67 seconds

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.
