Why the piece of sodium chloride is hard than sodium metal?

1 answer:

5 0

Sodium chloride is salt, it is an ionic substance thus there is no covalent bonds between the substances only ionic. sodium metal is more malleable but has a higher melting point and doesn't disolve for reasons I think is above your level, the point is sodium is harder

Gold has density of 19.3 g/cm3; how many grams of gold are in a 16.0 cm3 gold bar?

Andre45 [30]

To determine the mass of gold, we simply multiply the density and volume. Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We do as follows:

mass = density x volume
mass = 19.3 g/cm^3 ( 16.0 cm^3 )
mass = 308.8 g

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. What is the weight/

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :

2.67%

Explanation:

Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.

You are calculating weight /Volume not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute

Here the weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is asked : So first convert the VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS

Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$
