Given parameters;

Mass of gold colored metal beads  = 425g

Volume of water displaced by beads = 48.0cm³

Unknown;

Identity of the metal = ?

Given densities;

Gold: 19.3 g/mL

Copper: 8.86 g/mL

Bronze: 9.87 g/mL

Density is an intensive property of any substance. This implies that we can use the density of any substance to identify it.

Density can be defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. Every substance has a unique mass per volume.

 Mathematically;

                    Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}

where mass is in kg or g

           volume is in  m³ or cm³

To find the density, we must know the mass and volume.

In this problem, the volume of the gold metal beads is the same as the volume of water displaced. This is a way to measure volume of solids.

Since the volume is given in cm³, and we are comparing with choices that have units in g/mL, we simply convert the volume in cm³ to mL

                   1cm³  = 1mL³

So therefore, volume of gold colored metal is 48mL

Now input the parameters given and solve for the density;

           Density  = \frac{425g}{48mL }    = 8.85g/mL

From the given densities, we clearly see that copper is the metal since they both of similar densities.

Compare the potential energy of two atoms chemically bonded to their potential energy when separated.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The essence of chemical bonding is in order to attain minimum energy. The minimum energy state is the most stable state of a chemical system.

As the distance of separation between atoms decreases, the potential energy of the system decreases accordingly.

An optimum distance is reached when the two atoms attain the lowest potential energy. This is designated as the bond distance of the two atoms.

Hence two atoms have lower potential energy when bonded than when separated at large distance.

A goldsmith melts 12.4 grams of gold to make a ring. The temperature of the gold rises from 26°C to 1064°C, and then the gold me
DiKsa [7]

Problem One

You will use both m * c * deltaT and H = m * heat of fusion.

Givens

m = 12.4 grams

c = 0.1291

t1 = 26oC

t2 = 1204

heat of fusion (H_f) = 63.5 J/grams.

Equation

H = m * c * deltaT + m * H_f

Solution

H = 12.4 * 0.1291 * (1063 - 26) + 12.4 * 63.5

H = 1660.1 + 787.4

H = 2447.5 or 2447.47 is the exact answer. I have to leave the rounding to you. I have no idea where to round it although I suspect 2450 would be right for 3 sig digs.

Problem Two

Formula and Givens

t1 = 14.5

t2 = 50.0

E = 5680

c = 4.186

m = ??

E = m c * deltaT

Solution

5680 = m * 4.186 * (50 - 14.5)

5680 = m * 4.186 * (35.5)

5680 = m * 148.603 * m

m = 5680 / 148.603

m = 38.22 grams That isn't very much. Be very sure you are working in joules. You'd leave that many grams in the kettle after drying it thoroughly.

m = 38.2 to 3 sig digs.

Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?
Lunna [17]

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.

A small cube of iron and a large flat sheet of iron contain the same volume. Which one will completely rust first? Explain why.
Hunter-Best [27]

The flat sheet will completely rust before the iron cube. Since they both have the same volume, the flat sheet has more surface area than the small cube. This means more particles are exposed on the flat sheet that can react in a chemical reaction.
