Which has a greater density, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold

Chemistry
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello!!

Please remember that density=mass/volume.

In this case, we have the same mass for the feathers and the gold (1 pound).

So, if the mass is the same for both we have:

Df*Vg=Dg*Vf    where f means feathers and g means gold.

In this case we see density is inversely related to volume. Both materials have the same mass. So which one have a bigger volume?

For this take a pound of feathers and submerge in a known volume of water. Note the displacement. Do the same for a pound of gold. Whichever has the smaller displacement, has the greater density.

In this case, Gold has the greatest density.

How many moles are in 135g of Teflon?
Oliga [24]

1.34 moles are in 135g of Teflon.

Explanation:

Molecular formula of teflon is (C2H4)n

mass of teflon = 135 grams

atomic mass of teflon = 100.01 gram/mole

number of moles of teflon = ?

Formula used to calculate number of moles in a substance is given as:

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

putting the values in the above equation:

number of moles = \frac{135}{100.01}

number of moles = 1.34 moles

Teflon is polymer which is used for making non-stick coating, in 135 grams of teflon there are 1.34 moles in it.

For the reaction
azamat

Answer:

Mass = 5.56 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Cl₂ = 4.45 g

Mass of NaCl produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Cl₂ + 4NaOH     →   3NaCl + NaClO₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of Cl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.45 g/ 71 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.063 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with NaCl.

                  Cl₂         :         NaCl

                    2          :          3

                 0.063      :        3/2×0.063 =0.095 mol

Mass of NaCl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.095 mol × 58.5 g/mol

Mass = 5.56 g

Gaseous vapor observed when handling dry ice (solid co_2 ​2 ​​ ) physical or chemical
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. It is easy to assume that the fog surrounds dry ice is carbon dioxide returning to it's gaseous however, you can not see that process. The vapors you see is the water molecules in the air condensing as a result of the cooling or energy removal by the dry ice. When energy is removed from water molecules they become colder and move slower than water in a gaseous. Similar to clouds in the air, the water condenses into a form that you can see.</span>
