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.

U-238 has _____ protons and 146 neutrons
qaws [65]
U-238 
The number besides the U means its total molar mass. The molar mass of this element is 238
Molar mass= protons + neutrons
This means that 238= 146 + protons
Do 238 - 146

The sea water has 8.0x10^-1 cg of element strontium. Assuming that all strontium could be recovered, how many grams of strontium
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

984 grams of strontium will be recovered from 9.84x10^8 cubic meter of seawater.

Explanation:

From the question data given is :

volume of strontium in sea water= 9.84x10^8 cubic meter

(1 cubic metre = 1000000 ml)

so 9 .84x10^8 cubic meter

 \frac{9 .84x10^8}{1000000}      = 984 ml.

density of sea water = 1 gram/ml

from the formula mass of strontium can be calculated.

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

mass = density x volume

mass = 1 x 984

         = 984 grams of strontium will be recovered.

98400 centigram of strontium will be recovered.

Strontium is an alkaline earth metal and is highly reactive.

What is the chemical formula for sodium sulfate?
yan [13]

Hello!

When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.

Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.

Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.

Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.
