10,500 oz = ? g How do I solve this using Factor Label Method
1 answer:
Explanation
The conversion factor we will need is so we plug in and
with sig figs accounted for. When making a conversion factor always start with the given unit then multiply it by a fraction with the given on the bottom and unit that is being converted to on the top. For example in 10m there is how many km? We know that there are 1000m in one km so we write
the meters cancel and leave us with just km and when multiplied out we get 0.01km. Hope this helps you understand conversion factors.

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
<h2>Steps:</h2>
- Remember that Density = mass/volume, or D = m/v
So firstly, we have to find the volume of the rock. To do this, we need to subtract the volume of water A from the volume of the water B. In this case:
- Water A = 30 mL
- Water B = 40 mL
- 40 mL - 30 mL = 10 mL
<u>The volume of the rock is 10 mL.</u>
Now that we have the volume, we can plug that and the density of the rock into the density equation to solve for the mass.
For this, multiply both sides by 10:
<u>Rounding to the tenths place, the mass of the rock is 36.8 g, or C.</u>
