Two stones resembling diamonds are suspected of being fakes. To determine if the stones might be real, the mass and volume of ea

ch are measured. Both stones have the same volume, 0.15 cm^3. However, stone A has a mass of 0.52 g, and stone B has a mass of 0.42 g.
A) If diamond has a density of 3.5 g/cm^3, could either of the stones be real diamonds? Explain.

Answer:

Stone A

Explanation:

Measuring density is an easiest way to determine if two similar looking substances are same or not. Here also we need to perform the density test for each stone that is suspected to be fake diamond. We will calculate the density of each stone and compare it with the density of original diamond.

Density is calculated using the formula

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

It has been given in the question that both the substances have same volume of 0.15 cm^3.

Density of stone A = \frac{0.52}{0.15} = 3.47 gcm^-^3 or after rounding off we get 3.5 gcm^-^3

Density of stone B = \frac{0.42}{0.15} = 2.8 gcm^-^3

It is clear from the above calculation that the stone A has same density as the diamond but stone B lacks behind in density.

So, stone A could be the real diamond.

If the theoretical yield of a reaction is 22.7 g and the actual yield is 21.0 g , what is the percent yield?
guajiro [1.7K]
Percentage yield = actual yield/theoretical yield

So divide 21.0 g by 22.7 g and multiply it by 100 to find the percentage yield

Why is paper chromatography used for amino acids
vivado [14]

<em>Paper chromatography is especially useful in characterizing amino acids. The different amino acids move at differing rates on the paper because of differences in their R groups.</em>

How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal?
lora16 [44]
<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>

In an experiment, hydrochloric acid reacted with different volumes of sodium thiosulfate in water. A yellow precipitate was form
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The time taken for the cross to become invisible decreases.

Explanation:

We know that one of the factors affecting the rate of reaction is the concentration of reactants. From the collision theory, we know that the higher the concentration of reactants, the greater the possibility of effective collision between reactants leading ultimately to an increase in the rate of reaction. Increase in the rate of reaction implies that the reaction takes a shorter time to reach completion.

In the case of the reaction shown in the question, the point when the reaction is completed is observed by the time take for the cross mark to become invisible. If we look at the given data closely, we will notice that the volume of acid was held constant, the volume of thiosulphate was increased gradually while the volume of water was decreased accordingly. This implies that the concentration of the reactants was increased. Decreasing the volume of water increases reactant concentration.

As explained above, increase in reactant concentration increases the rate of reaction. Hence, the rate of reaction of the acid and thiosulphate increases as reactant concentration increases and the cross mark becomes invisible faster. This implies that in the last column for time taken for the cross to become invisible, the values of time decreases steadily as concentration of reactants increases.
