Answer: the density of the solid metal is 22.5176 g/cm
Explanation:
Given that;
mass of solid metal = 255 g
the cylinder and its contents weigh 101g less than before
also given that density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³
Volume of the solid metal = volume of mercury which was absent in the first weighing
so let volume = Vcm³
Mass of mercury which was absent in the first weighing = density × volume
= 13.6 g/cm³ × Vcm³ = 13.6V g
now since the cylinder and its contents weigh 101g less than before,
it means the difference in mass between the solid and metal and the mass of mercury is equal to 101 g
so
255 - 13.6V g = 101g
13.6V g = 255 g - 101 g
13.6V = 154
V = 154 / 13.6
V = 11.3245 cm³
Now Density of solid metal will be;
⇒ mass / volume
= 255 / 11.3245
= 22.5176 g/cm
Therefore, the density of the solid metal is 22.5176 g/cm
Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
Br is <em>bromine</em> with atomic number 35, mass number of 79.904 and belongs to the group 7 elements known as the halogens.
Ga is <em>gallium</em> with atomic number 31, mass number of 69.72 and belongs to the alkaline earth metal i.e the group 3 elements.
From the above and in terms of their mass number, it is evident that Br is the larger element compared to Ga which is lesser than Br. Hence the statement is FALSE
Answer:
Thermoplastics have low melting temperature because of the week van der Waals bonds between their Long Chain Molecules
Polymer chains once synthesized they will remain stable in the environment because of the strong covalent bonds in the Long Chain Molecules
Explanation:
Thermoplastics are polymers that are easily melted and changed to another shape as many times as possible. They become molten when they are heated and solidify when cooled. Examples of thermoplastics include; polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyamides, polyesters, and polyurethanes.
Polymers are organic materials that consists of a long chain of atoms held together by strong covalent bonds. Polymers constitute an important environmental concern because most polymers are non biodegradable and remain in the environment almost indefinitely.
The answer to this question should be 10.65 moles of SO2
