A piece of high-density Styrofoam measuring 24.0 cm by 36.0 cm by 5.0 cm floats when placed in a tub of water. When a 1.5 kg boo

k is placed on top of the Styrofoam, the Styrofoam partially sinks at 3.0 cm. Assuming that the density of water is 1.00 g/ml, what is the density of Styrofoam?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Width of Styrofoam = 24.0 cm

          Length of Styrofoam = 36.0 cm

          Height of Styrofoam = 5.0 cm

Therefore, volume of the Styrofoam will be calculated as follows.

                  Volume = length × width × height

                                =  (36.0 × 24.0 × 5.0) cm^{3}

                                 = 4320 cm^{3}

or,                             = 4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

As Styrofoam partially sinks at 3.0 cm and total height of Styrofoam is 5.0 cm. Hence, height of Styrofoam above the water is (5.0 - 3 cm) = 2 cm.

So, volume of water displaced is as follows.

          24.0 cm × 36.0 cm × 2.0 cm

         = 1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

Hence, mass of displaced water is as follows.

                 mass = density × volume

                           = 1.00 g/cm^{3} \times 1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

                           = 1.73 \times 10^{3} g

Since, book is placed on the Styrofoam. Therefore, mass of water displaced is also equal to the following.

             Mass of water displaced = mass of book + mass of Styrofoam

                  1.73 \times 10^{3} g = 1500 g + mass of Styrofoam

                   (1730 - 1500) g = mass of Styrofoam

                   mass of Styrofoam = 230 g

Therefore, calculate the density of Styrofoam as follows.

                   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}  

                                 = \frac{230}{4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}}

                                 = 53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}

Thus, we can conclude that the density of Styrofoam is 53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Grady is doing an experiment about the solubility of sugar. He puts 100 milliliters of water in each of three beakers. He leaves the first beaker at room temperature, heats the second beaker to 60°C, and heats the third beaker until the water boils at 100°C. The variable Grady change on  purpose in the experiment is the temperature of water in each beaker .

Variables in the experiment is the any factor that can exist in different types or amount. There are three types of variables: independent variable , dependent variable , controlled variable. The independent variable is the variable you changed in the experiment. dependent variable is that changes because of independent variable. the controlled variable is the constant one.

Thus, Grady is doing an experiment about the solubility of sugar. He puts 100 milliliters of water in each of three beakers. He leaves the first beaker at room temperature, heats the second beaker to 60°C, and heats the third beaker until the water boils at 100°C. The variable Grady change on  purpose in the experiment is the temperature of water in each beaker .

Calculate the pH of the following simple solutions:
IceJOKER [234]

Answer :

(1) pH = 1.27

(2) pH = 13.35

(3) The given solution is not a buffer.

Explanation :

<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>

Concentration of HCl = 53.1mM=53.1\times 10^{-3}M

As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.

So, Concentration of hydrogen ion= 53.1\times 10^{-3}M

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (53.1\times 10^{-3})

pH=1.27

<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>

Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M

As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.

So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (0.223)

pOH=0.65

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-0.65=13.35

<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>

Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.

It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.

As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.

So, the given solution is not a buffer.
