A graduated cylinder with just water has a volume of 20.0 mL. When a 25.0 g piece of zinc alloy is added, the new volume is 23.2
1 answer:
Density of any substance is mass of the substance per unit volume. Density, d=m/V, where m is mass of the substance and V is the volume occupied by the substance. The amount of water displaced by an object when it is submerged in water equals the volume of the object. So, due to submerge of piece of zinc alloy in water present in graduated cylinder, water level rises. The increase in the volume of water is the volume of the zinc piece.
Volume of water in graduated cylinder before addition of zinc piece (v₁)= 20 ml, Volume of water in graduated cylinder after addition of zinc piece (v₂)= 23.2 ml, Rise in the volume due to submerge of the piece = (v₂ - v₁)ml= 23.2-20.0= 3.20 ml. So, volume of the piece is 3.20 ml and mass of the zinc piece is 25.0 g.
Hence density zinc alloy is equal to g/ml= 7.81 g/ml= 7.8 g/ml (expressed in two significant figure).

<h3>Further explanation </h3>Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting with another solution which is known to be concentrated (usually a standard solution). Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range
Reaction
5Na2C2O4(aq) + 2KMnO4(aq) + 8H2SO4(aq) ---> 2MnSO4(aq) + K2SO4(aq) + 5Na2SO4(aq) + 10CO2(g) + 8H2O(1)
The end point ⇒titrant and analyte moles equal
titrant : potassium permanganate-KMnO4
analyte : sodium oxalate - Na2C2O4
so moles of KMnO4 = moles of Na2C2O4
moles of Na2C2O4(mass = 0.2640 g, MW=134 g/mol) :
From equation, mol ratio Na2C2O4 : KMnO4 = 5 : 2, so mol KMnO4 :
