Multiple-choice questions have a special grading rule determined by your instructor. Assume that your instructor has decided to

grade these questions in the following way: If you submit an incorrect answer to a multiple-choice question with nnn options, you will lose 1/(n−1)1/(n−1) of the credit for that question. Just like the similar multiple-choice penalty on most standardized tests, this rule is necessary to prevent random guessing.If a multiple-choice question has five answer choices and you submit one wrong answer before getting the question correct, how much credit will you lose for that part of the question?
a. 100%
b. 50%
c. 33%
d. 25%
e. 20%

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

On submission of an incorrect answer to a multiple-choice question with n options,  we will lose:

=\frac{ 1}{(n-1)} of credit

If we multiple-choice question has five answer choices. And we have submitted 1 wrong answer. the fraction of credit we loose :

=\frac{ 1}{(5-1)} of credit

=\frac{1}{4} of credit

=0.25 credit

The percentage of credit we loose:

=0.25\times 100 of credits

=25\% of credits

If you react 156.0 g of calcium chloride with an excess NaOH, how much sodium chloride should you get?
laiz [17]

Answer:

164.3g of NaCl

Explanation:

Based on the chemical equation:

CaCl2 + 2NaOH → 2NaCl + Ca(OH)2

<em>where 1 mole of CaCl2 reacts with 2 moles of NaOH</em>

To solve this question we must convert the mass of CaCl2 to moles. Using the chemical equation we can find the moles of NaCl and its mass:

<em>Moles CaCl2 -Molar mass: 110.98g/mol-</em>

156.0g CaCl₂ * (1mol / 110.98g) = 1.4057 moles CaCl2

<em>Moles NaCl:</em>

1.4057 moles CaCl2 * (2mol NaCl / 1mol CaCl2) = 2.811 moles NaCl

<em>Mass NaCl -Molar mass: 58.44g/mol-</em>

2.811 moles NaCl * (58.44g / mol) = 164.3g of NaCl

12. A beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. Will it float in water,
Greeley [361]

Taking into account the definition of density and Archimedes' principle, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

But first it is neccesary to know that density is a quantity referred to the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance or a solid object.

In other words, the density is the relationship between the weight (mass) of a substance and the volume that the same substance occupies.

The expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

In this case, a beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. This is:

  • mass= 4.9 kg= 4900 g (being 1 kg= 1000 kg)
  • volume= 5.4 L= 5400 mL (being 1L=1000 mL)

Replacing in the definition of density:

density=\frac{4900 g}{5400 mL}

Solving:

<u><em>density=0.907 </em></u>\frac{g}{mL}<u><em /></u>

On the other hand, Archimedes' principle says that an object immersed in a liquid experiences an upward vertical force equal to the weight of the volume of the dislodged liquid.

The sinking or floating of an object is determined by its density with respect to that of the liquid in which it is submerged.

Considering water as the liquid where the object is submerged in this case, an object with a higher density than water will sink. In contrast, an object with a lower density than water will float.

In this case, considering that water has a density of 1 \frac{g}{mL}, the bowling ball for beginners has a lower density. This indicates that, having a lower density than water, the object will float.

In summary, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

Sylvanite is a mineral that contains 28.0% gold by mass. How much sylvanite would you need to dig up to obtain 73.0 g of gold?
Scorpion4ik [409]

You would have to dig up 261 g of sylvanite.

Mass of sylvanite = 73.0 g Au × (100 g sylvanite/28.0 g Au) = <em>261 g</em> sylvanite.
