Density, Volume and Mass
3. A metal weighing 7.101 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 33.0 mL of water. The water
level rose to the 37.4 mL mark.
a) Calculate the density of the metal (in g/mL).
b) If you were to do this with an equal mass of aluminum (d = 2.7 g/mL), how high would the water rise?
Equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Now, Given mass of Oxygen = 192 g
Molar mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol
No. of moles in Oxygen = 16/192 = 0.0833
Now, for every mole of Oxygen, 2 mole of Hydrogen will form,
so, Number of moles of Hydrogen = 0.0833 * 2 = 0.167
Given mass = Number of Moles * Molar mass
Given mass = 0.167 * 2
m = 0.33 g
In short, Your Answer would be: 0.33 g
Hope this helps!
The balanced reaction is: 2Mo+3O2>2MoO3
