Answer:

The sample is fool's gold

Explanation:

Density is defined as the ratio between mass in grams and volume in mililiters.

A sample of pure gold has a density of 19.3g/mL.

Using Archimedes' principle, the volume of the sample is:

52.2mL - 47.5mL = 4.7mL

As the mass of the sample is 23.5g, the density is:

23.5g / 4.7mL = 5g/mL

The denisty of the sample is very different to density of pure gold, that means:

<em>the sample is fool's gold</em>

Consider the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane (CH4).
Mrac [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                  89.6 L of O₂

<h3>Solution:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is as,

                                CH₄  +  2 O₂    →    CO₂  +  2 H₂O

As at STP, one mole of any gas (Ideal gas) occupies exactly 22.4 L of Volume. Therefore, According to equation,

             44 g ( 1 mol) CO₂ is produced by  =  44.8 L (2 mol) of O₂

So,

                  88 g CO₂ will be produced by  = X L of O₂

Solving for X,

                        X = (88 g × 44.8 L) ÷ 44 g

                        X = 89.6 L of O₂

How many liters of chlorine gas can react with 56.0 grams of calcium metal at standard temperature and pressure? Show all of the
Doss [256]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>Ca + Cl2 =  CaCl2
</span>
We are given the amount of calcium metal to be used for this reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations.

56 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g Ca) (1 mol Cl2 / 1 mol Ca) ( 22.414 L Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2 ) = 31.32 L Cl2 gas produced from the reaction

Semmy [17]
I believe you just look at your periodic table for this value. I don't think there is any math involved.
Therefore one mole of Mg = 24.305g.

a cube of iron (cp = 0.450 j/g•°c) with a mass of 55.8 g is heated from 25.0°c to 49.0°c. how much heat is required for this pro
krek1111 [17]
Q = ?

Cp = 0.450 j/g°C

Δt =  49.0ºC - 25ºC => 24ºC

m = 55.8 g

Q = m x Cp x Δt

Q = 55.8 x 0.450 x 24

Q = 602.64 J

hope this helps!
