Answer:

$7.8 g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

Density, denoted by the greek symbol rho (ρ), is the mass per unit of volume and it is also called specific mass. For a pure substance, density has the same value as the mass concentration.

The equation to calculate the density is as follows:

ρ= $\frac{m}{v} =\frac{mass}{volume}$

Replacing the mass and volume given in the statement, we optain:

ρ= $\frac{46.8 g}{6cm^{3} } =7.8\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$

Obtaining a similar value to that of the theoretical density of iron, wich is $7.874 g/cm^{3}$

Radioactive decay is likely to occur when ... radioactive decay is likely to occur when ... protons break into neutrons and elec

xenn [34]

Radioactivity or radioactive decay is the process that occurs when unstable isotopes or atoms release energy by emitting radiations such as ,gamma radiations, alpha radiations and beta radiations to attain stability. Therefore, in this case decay is likely to occur when a given atom has two many neutrons in its nucleus in order to attain stability.

A 14.3-cm3 sample of tin has a mass of 0.104 kg.

VladimirAG [237]

This is a true statement if it is density you are looking for... Density problem.....

Density is the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume.
D = m / V
D = 104g / 14.3 cm³ = 7.27 g/cm³ .............. to three significant digits

The conventions for the units of density is that grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) are usually used for solids, but will work for anything. Grams per milliliter (g/mL) are usually used for liquids and grams per liter (g/L) are for gases. Therefore, by convention, the units for tin (a solid) should be in grams per cubic centimeter.

Since 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm³, then the density could be expressed as 7.27 g/mL.

The accepted value for the density of tin is 7.31 g/cm³

You have a sample of 75.6 g of C3H8. How many moles of C3H8 are in the sample?

dsp73

The number of moles that are contained in the given mass of propane ( $C_3H_8$ is 1.7143 moles.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass of propane = 75.6 grams.

<u>Scientific data:</u>

The molar mass of propane = 44.1 g/mol.

To calculate the number of moles that are contained in the given mass of propane ( $C_3H_8$ ):

<h3>How to calculate the moles of a compound.</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to determine the number of moles of propane that are contained in the given sample:

Mathematically, the number of moles contained in a chemical compound is given by this formula:

$Number\;of\;moles = \frac{mass}{molar\;mass}$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$Number\;of\;moles = \frac{75.6}{44.1}$

Number of moles = 1.7143 moles.
