How do properties, such as Density, help us to classify and identify matter?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
4 0

Density can be defined in terms of the mass of a substance present in a certain volume.

i.e. Density = Mass/ volume

It helps classify and identify matter due to the following reasons:

1) Density is an intensive property. For a given substance the density will remain the same irrespective of the amount in which it is present.

For example: The density of Aluminum (Al) = 2.7 g/cm3. This value is a constant at a certain temperature and pressure. Therefore, the density will remain the same for 1 kilogram or 1 mg of Al

2) Different elements/compounds have different values of densities which is characteristic of that substance

If 50 ml of 0.235 M NaCl solution is diluted to 200.0 ml what is the concentration of the diluted solution
Helen [10]

This is a straightforward dilution calculation that can be done using the equation

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where <em>M</em>₁ and <em>M</em>₂ are the initial and final (or undiluted and diluted) molar concentrations of the solution, respectively, and <em>V</em>₁ and <em>V</em>₂ are the initial and final (or undiluted and diluted) volumes of the solution, respectively.

Here, we have the initial concentration (<em>M</em>₁) and the initial (<em>V</em>₁) and final (<em>V</em>₂) volumes, and we want to find the final concentration (<em>M</em>₂), or the concentration of the solution after dilution. So, we can rearrange our equation to solve for <em>M</em>₂:

M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}.

Substituting in our values, we get

\[M_2=\frac{\left ( 50 \text{ mL} \right )\left ( 0.235 \text{ M} \right )}{\left ( 200.0 \text{ mL} \right )}= 0.05875 \text{ M}\].

So the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.05875 M. You can round that value if necessary according to the appropriate number of sig figs. Note that we don't have to convert our volumes from mL to L since their conversion factors would cancel out anyway; what's important is the ratio of the volumes, which would be the same whether they're presented in milliliters or liters.

The amount of energy needed to heat 6.2 g of a substance from 50.0°C to 80.0°C is 27.4 J. What is the specific heat capacity of
taurus [48]

Answer:

The heat capacity for the sample is 0.913 J/°C

Explanation:

This is the formula for heat capacity that help us to solve this:

Q / (Final T° - Initial T°) = c . m

where m is mass and c, the specific heat of the substance

27.4 J / (80°C - 50°C) = c . 6.2 g

[27.4 J / (80°C - 50°C)] / 6.2 g = c

27.4 J / 30°C . 1/6.2g = c

0.147 J/g°C = c

Therefore, the heat capacity is 0.913 J/°C

Which one would be expected to happen? If one of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Option (D) is definitely the answer.

Explanation:

Before going further, it is important to know what buffers and pH represent, which are keywords to answering this question.

Buffers is a special solution that can withstand or resist changes due to pH levels which may be as a result of an introduction of acidic or basic components into the blood. In other words, they maintain the stability of pH level in the human blood.

pH blood levels on the other hand, can be grouped into three: acidity, neutrality and alkalinity. Using a pH scale, one can determine its current level. In the human blood the pH level is near neutral and needs to be on a level near 7.4 in order to avoid a high rise or a drastic fall even if acidic or basic components come in or departs the blood stream.

Therefore, if one of the buffers that contributes to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid, which is as a result of a combination of carbon dioxide and water in the blood stream. On getting to the lungs it is converted to water and subsequently released as waste. Maintaining this stability will definitely be to decrease the concentration of carbonic acid and increase that of water instead.
