Specific gravity is a number representing the ratio of a mineral's weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. TRUE FALSE

Chemistry
1 answer:
777dan777 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: True

Explanation: Specific Gravity of a body, also called its Relative Density, is the ratio of the density of that body to the density of a reference material (usually water).

With the Mathematics done right, it is evident that the specific gravity of a body would be equal to the ratio of mass/weight of the body to the mass/weight of an equal volume of water.

S.G = (Density of body)/(Density of water)

Density of Body = (mass/weight of body)/(volume of body)

Density of water = (mass/weight of water)/(volume of water)

If volume of Body = Volume of water, then,

S.G = (Mass/Weight of body)/(Mass/Weight of equal volume of water)

What is the total number of moles represented by 20 grams of CACO3
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

B. 0.2.

Explanation:

  • We can use the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em>

mass of CaCO₃ = 20 g, molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.0869 g/mol.

<em>∴ n = mass/molar mass = </em>(20 g)/(100.0869 g/mol) <em>= 0.1998 ≅ 0.2 mol.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: B. 0.2.</em>

Maggie has 4 binders with 30 stamps in each binder. She has 3 binders with 36 baseball cards in each binder. If she gives away 4
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The number of stamps and cards Maggie has left if she gives 45 stamps to a friend is 183

Explanation:

If Maggie gives 45 stamps to a friend, you must calculate the number of stamps and cards she has left.

You know Maggie has 4 folders with 30 stamps in each folder. So the number of stamps she owns is calculated as:

4 folders*30 stamps in each folder= 120 stamps

If Maggie gives 45 stamps to a friend, then the number of stamps she has left will be calculated as the difference (the subtraction) between the stamps she owned and the ones she gives away:

120 stamps - 45 stamps= 75 stamps

On the other hand, she has 3 binders with 36 baseball cards in each binder. So the number of cards she owns is calculated as:

3 binders * 36 baseball cards in each binders= 108 baseball cards

The number of stamps and cards you have left is calculated as:

75 stamps + 108 baseball cards= 183

How many grams of iki would it take to obtain a 100 ml solution of 0.300 m iki? how many grams of iki would it take to create a
GalinKa [24]

0.300 M IKI represents the concentration which is in molarity of a potassium iodide solution. This means that for every liter of solution there are 0.300 moles of potassium iodide. Knowing that molarity is a ratio of solute to solution.

By using a conversion factor:

100 ml x (1L / 1000 mL) x (0.300 mol Kl / 1 L) x (166.0g / 1 mol Kl) = 4.98 g

Therefore, in the first conversion by simply converting the unit of volume to liter, Molarity is in L where the volume is in liters. The next step is converted in moles from volume by using molarity as a conversion factor which is similar to how density can be used to convert between volume and mass. After converting to moles it is simply used as molar mass of Kl which is obtained from periodic table to convert from mole to grams.

In order to get the grams of IKI to create a 100 mL solution of 0.600 M IKI, use the same formula as above:

100 ml x (1L / 1000 mL) x (0.600 mol Kl / 1 L) x (166.0g / 1 mol Kl) = 9.96 g

Can somewhere show me the dimensional analysis of this?
natita [175]

245 mm Hg = 32.6634 kPa

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the pressure inside the can is measured in mm Hg and it is needed to convert mm mercury (Hg) to kilo pascal, we have to multiply the pressure in mm Hg with  0.13332, so that the pressure is converted in kilo pascals.

1 mm Hg × 0.13332 = 1 kPa

245 mm Hg × 0.13332 = 32.6634 kPa

So the pressure in mm mercury is converted into kilo pascals.
