Does a laboratory balance measure mass or weight

1 answer:

5 0

A balance in a lab measures the weight of a substance or object.
Weight is the mass of the body x the gravitation pull on the mass of the object.

So the mass of the object can be found by dividing the weight by gravitational constant.

The gravitational constant on earth is 1. so if a balance says that a substance weighs 300g then its mass is also 300g on earth because 300/1 = 300.

Hope that helps :)

Two gas-filled tanks have the same volume, temperature, and pressure. They are identical in every way except that one is filled

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The tank with O₂ weighs more.

Explanation:

We can find the mass of gas using the ideal gas equation.

$P.V=n.R.T=\frac{m}{M} .R.T\\m=\frac{P.V.M}{R.T}$

Considering the pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T) and ideal gas constant (R) are the same, we can establish that:

m ∝ M

The mass is directly proportional to the molar mass. The molar mass of O₂ (32 g/mol) is higher than the molar mass of N₂ (28 g/mol). Therefore, the tank with O₂ weighs more.
