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.

5.2 G of HCl are dissolved in 25 mL of solution. What is the molarity?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

0.21 M

Explanation:

Molarity is the calculation of the solution in which the number of solute per liter of the solutions. It is the most common measurement unit that is used to measure the concentration of the solution.

The molarity is the unit that is used to measure or calculate the volume of the solvent. The amount of solvent is used in the chemical reaction.

The amount of the two solvent in the same quantity is measured by the formula called c1v1 and c2v2.

Which equation shows how to calculate how many grams (g) of KOH would be needed to fully react with 4 mol Mg(OH)2? The balanced
bazaltina [42]
Mole ratio:

MgCl₂ + 2 KOH = Mg(OH)₂ + 2 KCl

2 moles KOH ---------------- 1 mole Mg(OH)₂
moles KOH ------------------- 4 moles Mg(OH₂)

moles KOH = 4 x 2 / 1

= 8 moles of  KOH

molar mass KOH = 56 g/mol

mass of KOH = n x mm

mass of  KOH = 8 x 56

= 448 g of KOH 

hope this helps!

The freezing point of benzene C6H6 is 5.50°C at 1 atmosphere. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in benzene is DDT . H
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: 0.028 grams

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point :

Formula used for lowering in freezing point is,

\Delta T_f=k_f\times m

or,

\Delta T_f=k_f\times \frac{\text{ Mass of solute in g}\times 1000}{\text {Molar mass of solute}\times \text{ Mass of solvent in g}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

k_f = freezing point constant  (for benzene} =5.12^0Ckg/mol

m = molality

Putting in the values we get:

0.400^0C=5.12\times \frac{\text{ Mass of solute in g}\times 1000}{354.5\times 209.0}

{\text{ Mass of solute in g}}=0.028g

0.028 grams of DDT (solute) must be dissolved in 209.0 grams of benzene to reduce the freezing point by 0.400°C.
