Answer:

M is cobalt (Co)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of MCl2(H2O)6 = 2.9237 grams

After completely drying the sample (which means removing the 6 moles of H2O per mole of MCl2), the sample weighs 1.5941 g.

Step 2: Calculate mass of water

Mass of water = 2.9237 - 1.5941  = 1.3296 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles water

Moles water = mass water / molar mass water

Moles water = 1.3296 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles water = 0.07378 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of the whole substance

For 1 mol MCl2(H2O)6 we have 6 moles H2O

Number of moles of the whole substance = 0.07378 / 6 = 0.01230 moles

Step 5: Calculate molar weight of the substance

Molar weight = mass / moles

Molar weight = 1.5941 grams / 0.01230 moles

Molar weight = 129.6 g/mol

Step 6: Calculate molar weight of M

Molecular weight of M = 129.6 - (2*35.45)

Molecular weight of M = 58.7 g/mol

M is cobalt (Co)

The density of water at 4 degrees Celsius is 1.00 g/cm cubed at unknown object has density of 7.9 g/cm cubed would you expect it
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The object will be sank

Explanation:

In this case the object is more dense than water.

Density is the relationship between a certain amount of mass of matter and the volume that is being occupied by it.

The object occupies more volume, so it occupies more mass.

As the mass from the object is higher, the object will be sank because the weight is higher than the weight from the liquid.

If the object has a lower density than the water, it will float on it.

A piece of PVC plumbing pipe displaces 60 mL when placed into a container of water. If the pipe has a mass of 78g, what is the d
babymother [125]
Use the equation d=m/v

your mass or "m" is 78 g

your volume or "v" is 60mL

if you plug those values into the equation it will look like this:

d=78/60
d=1.3g/mL should be what you come up with
