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

Chemistry

kumpel [21]3 years ago

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

The barium isotope 133ba has a half-life of 10.5 years. a sample begins with 1.1×1010 133ba atoms. how many are left after (a) 5
Sladkaya [172]
<span>a) 7.9x10^9 b) 1.5x10^9 c) 3.9x10^4 To determine what percentage of an isotope remains after a given length of time, you can use the formula p = 2^(-x) where p = percentage remaining x = number of half lives expired. The number of half lives expired is simply x = t/h where x = number of half lives expired t = time spent h = length of half life. So the overall formula becomes p = 2^(-t/h) And since we're starting with 1.1x10^10 atoms, we can simply multiply that by the percentage. So, the answers rounding to 2 significant figures are: a) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-5/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.718873349 = 7.9x10^9 b) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-30/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.138011189 = 1.5x10^9 c) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-190/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 3.57101x10^-6 = 3.9x10^4</span>

How many atoms does one formula unit of Sb4(SiO4)3 have
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

There are 19 atom sin total in antimony silicate, Sb_4(SiO_4)_3.

Explanation:

Number of antimony atoms = 4 × 1 = 4

Number of silicon atoms = 3 × 1 = 3

Number of oxygen atoms = 3 × 4 = 12

Number of atoms in antimony silicate:

= 4 + 3 + 12 = 19

There are 19 atom sin total in antimony silicate, Sb_4(SiO_4)_3.
