Answer:

4.0 cm

Explanation:

According to the equation, density is defined as the ratio between mass and volume:

$d = \frac{m}{V}$

Assume that the side length of the given cube is a, then the volume of a cube is described by:

$V = a^3$

Substituting into the density equation, we obtain:

$d = \frac{m}{a^3}$

Rearranging for side a:

$a = \sqrt[3]{\frac{m}{d}}$

Given:

$m = 128~g$

$d = 2.0~g/cm^3$

We obtain:

$a = \sqrt[3]{\frac{128~g}{2.0~g/cm^3}} = 4.0~cm$

Density = Mass / Volume

Volume = Mass/Density

Volume = 2/128

Volume = 1/64

so side will be 4 cm

A student balanced the chemical equation Mg + O2 →MgO by writing Mg + O2 → MgO2. Was the equation balanced correctly? Explain yo

Amanda [17]

Explanation:

Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.

As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not $MgO_{2}$ .

The student write the equation as $Mg + O_2 \rightarrow MgO_2$ , it is not correct.

Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.

$2Mg + O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO$

Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.

A solution contains 90 milliequivalents of HC1 in 450ml. What is its normality?

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Normality N = 0.2 N

Explanation:

Normality is the number of gram of equivalent of solute divided of volume of solution, where the number of gram of equivalent of solute is weight of the solute divided by the equivalent weight.

Normality is represented by N.

Mathematically, we have :

$\mathbf{Normality \ N = \dfrac{Number \ of \ gram \of \ equivalent\ of\ solute }{volume \ of \ solution}}$

Given that:

number of gram of equivalent of solute = 90 milliequivalents 90 × 10⁻³ equivalent

volume of solution (HCl) = 450 mL 450 × 10⁻³ L

$\mathbf{Normality \ N = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{-3}}{450 \times 10^{-3}}}$

Normality N = 0.2 N

Which is the metric standard for measuring energy? Which unit is used for specific heat capacity? If you wanted to compare the a

DENIUS [597]

1. Which is the metric standard for measuring energy?

The metric standard for measuring of energy defined by the International System of Units is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of a newton in a displacement of one meter in the direction of force. So,

1 J = 1 N m = 1 kg·m²/s²

Calorie is also frequently used in scientific and technological applications. Calorie is a unit of thermal energy that is equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

1 cal = 4,184 J

2. Which unit is used for specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity (c) is a physical quantity that is defined as the amount of heat (q) that must be supplied to the mass unit of a thermodynamic substance or system to raise its temperature by one unit. So,

c = q / m ΔT

where m is the mass of the substance and ΔT is the temperature increase.

In this way, as heat is a form of energy, the International System of Units expresses the specific heat in joules per kilogram and per kelvin (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹). Another common unit, not belonging to the SI, is the calorie per gram and per degree centigrade (cal g⁻¹ ° C⁻¹).

3. If you wanted to compare the abilities of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use?

You should use units of specific heat capacity (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹) since, as mentioned above, this is a physical quantity that measures the amount of heat that must be supplied to an specific mass of a substance or system to raise its temperature.

Heat is a thermal energy, so by using heat capacity units you can compare the ability of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy by varying its temperature.

Which of the following is the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent?

Lyrx [107]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone $CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3}$ is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula $C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}$ .

A camphor is a volatile white color substance with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{16}O$ . It has aromatic smell and its taste is bitter.

A menthone is also an organic compound with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{18}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent is acetone.
