Answer:

a) the wet density of the CL sample is 0.0453 lb/in³

b) the water content in the sample is 65.37%

c) the dry density of the CL sample is 0.0274 lb/in³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter d = 2.83 in

length L = 6 in

weight m = 1.71 lbs

A piece of clay sample had wet-weight of 140.9 grams  and dry-weight of 85.2 grams

a) wet density of the CL sample

wet density can be expressed as  p = M /v

V is volume of sample which is; π/4×d²×L

so p = M / π/4×d²×L

we substitute

p = 1.71 / (π/4 × (2.83)²× 6

p = 1.71 / 37.741

p = 0.0453 lbs/in³

so the wet density of the CL sample is 0.0453 lb/in³

b)

water content of sample is taken as;

w =  (wet_weight - dry_weight) / dry_weight

we substitute

w = (140.9 - 85.2) / 85.2

w = 55.7 / 85.2

w = 0.6537 = 65.37%

therefore the water content in the sample is 65.37%

c)

dry density of the CL sample

to determine the dry density, we say;

Sd = p / ( 1 + w )

we substitute

Sd = 0.0453 / ( 1 + 0.6537)

Sd = 0.0453 /  1.6537

Sd = 0.0274 lb/in³

therefore the dry density of the CL sample is 0.0274 lb/in³

How many atoms are in 4 moles of oxygen?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There are 6.022 × 10 23 O atoms in a mole of O atoms. There are 6.022 × 10 23 O 2 molecules in a mole of . Since you have 2 oxygen atoms in one molecule, there are 2 × 6.022 × 10 23 O atoms in a mole of . A 'mole' is not short for a 'molecule

Indicate which solution in each pair has the lower pH. Your response should be a four letter "word". The first letter should be
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

bcfh

Explanation:

HClO₄ reacts with water thus:

HClO₄ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + ClO₄⁻

That means HClO₄ produce H₃O⁺ that decreases pH. That means the higher concentration of HClO₄ decreases pH. Thus, lower pH will be:

b) 0.2 M HClO4

The reaction of NaClO₄ is:

NaClO₄ + H₂O → OH⁻ + HClO₄ + Na⁺

The higher concentration of NaClO₄ the higher production of OH⁻ that increase pH, that means the lower concentration of NaClO₄ the lower pH, thus, the answer is:

<em>c) 0.1 M NaClO or</em>

HF reacts with water thus;

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻

The equilibrium constant is:

k = [H⁺] [F⁻] / [HF] = 3,5x10⁻⁴

For HNO₂ equilibrium is:

HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + NO₂⁻

k = [H⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] = 4,5x10⁻⁴

As k value is higher for HNO₂, the concentration of H⁺ will be higher in this system doing the HNO₂ with the lower pH.

f) 0.1 M HNO2

NaOH is a strong base that produce OH⁻ that increase pH, pure water is neutral, thus, the lowe pH is:

h) pure water

In this experiment you will create solutions with different ratios of ethanol and water. What is the mole fraction of ethanol wh
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The mole fraction of ethanol is 0.6. A 10 mL volumetric pipette must be used for to measure the 10 mL of ethanol. The vessel should be clean and purged.

Explanation:

For calculating mole fraction of ethanol, the amount of moles ethanol must be calculated. Using ethanol density (0.778 g/mL), 10 mL of ethanol equals to 7.89 g of ethanol and in turn 0.17 moles of ethanol. The same way for calculate the amount of water moles (ethanol density=0.997 g/mL). 2 mL of water correspond to 0.11. The total moles are: 0.17+0.11=0.28. Mole fraction alcohol is: 0.17/0.28=0.6
