The volume of sphere can be calculated using the following formula:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Here, r is radius of the sphere which is 8 cm. Putting the value,

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(8 cm)^{3}=2143.57 cm^{3}

This is equal to the volume of lead, density of lead is 11.34 g/cm^{3} thus, mass of lead can be calculated as follows:

m=d\times V=11.34 g/cm^{3}\times 2143.57 cm^{3}=2.43\times 10^{4}g

Let the mass of ore be 1 g, 68.5% of galena is obtained by mass, thus, mass of galena obtained will be 0.685 g.

Now, 86.6% of lead is obtained from this gram of galena, thus, mass of lead will be:

m=0.685×0.866=0.5932 g

Therefore, 0.5932 g of lead is obtained from 1 g of ore, if the efficiency is 100%.

For 92.5% efficiency, mass of lead obtained will be:

m=\frac{92.5}{100}\times 0.5932=0.5487 g

Thus, 1 g of lead obtain from \frac{1}{0.5487}=1.822 grams of ore.

Thus, 2.43\times 10^{4} g of lead obtain from:

2.43\times 10^{4}\times 1.822=4.42\times 10^{4}g=44.2 kg

Therefore, mass of ore required to make lead sphere is 44.2 kg.

Answer:

44kg

Explanation:

Volume of the lead sphere is = 4/3*π*(r)3

= 4/3*π*(8.0)3

= 4/3 * π * ( 512)

= 4/3 * 22/7 * (512)

= 2145.52 cm3

The consists of 68.5% galena while galena consists 86.6% lead.

Only 92.5% of the lead can be extracted.

Assuming X as the amount of ore needed

mass of ore can be determined as:

92.5% of 86.6% of 68.5% of X = 2145.52

0.925 * 0.866 * 0.685*X=2145.52

X=0.54871925/2145.52

Shown here is a person shaving.  Under magnification, the shaving foam might look like the image above the shaver. What type of mixture does the foam demonstrate? Give your reasoning.

Foam is a colloid. Colloids includes gas dispersed in a liquid and it also includes gas dispersed in a solid

On the next slide, you can select any answers you want, or you can select nothing. There's no wrong answer.

A student squeezes several oranges to make a glass of orange juice. The juice contains pieces of orange pulp mixed with the juice. Explain why this drink can be considered a combination of a suspension and a solution.

The juice contains sugars, plant pigments, and other chemicals dissolved in water. This is a solution. The pieces of orange pulp will rise to the top or settle to the bottom of the juice if it is allowed to sit. The pieces of pulp mixed with the juice form a suspension

On the right side, you can also select any answers or none at all. There is no wrong answer.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

There are two main types of mixtures, homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures. The components of a homogeneous mixture are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The properties of a mixture are the same everywhere. The components of a heterogeneous mixture are not evenly distributed. Different regions of this mixture have different   properties.

Particles in a homogeneous mixture do not settle down or separate when left alone. Particles in a heterogeneous mixture eventually separate or settle when left alone.

  • Colloids are a type of heterogeneous mixture that do not naturally settle out quickly, and can be separated with different methods.
  • A suspension is another type of heterogeneous mixtures in which the components of the mixture will quickly settle out or can be filtered or separated.

Here are photos of Edge just incase.

Alchemists in the Middle Ages dreamed of converting base metals, such as lead, into precious metals—gold and silver. Why could t
lesantik [10]

Explanation:

Each element in the periodic table has different but fixed number of the protons in nucleus of it's atom, which is known as the atomic number.

Transmutation of one chemical element into the another involves the changing of the atomic number. Such nuclear reaction requires millions of the times more energy as compared to normal chemical reactions. Thus, the dream of  the alchemist of transmuting the lead into the gold was never achievable chemically .

Conversion of lead to gold in today's world:

This conversion is indeed possible. The requirements are a particle accelerator, tremendous supply of the energy. Nuclear scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory located in California, more than 30 years ago, succeeded in producing very minute amounts of the gold from the bismuth. Bismuth is a metallic element which is adjacent to the lead on periodic table. Same process would work for the lead but isolating gold at end of reaction would prove much more difficult because lead is available in many isotopes. The homogeneous nature of the element means that it is easier to separate the gold from the bismuth as compared to separate the gold from the lead which has four  isotopic identities which all are stable.

1. 750 x 10^3 ng to g​
Temka [501]

Answer:

1.750×10^-6 g

Explanation:

we know n is 10^-9. all you have to do is to replace n with 10^-9.

so the answer is

1.750×10^3×10^-9 g

which is equal to 1.750×10^-6 g

if anything is unclear, ask freely.
