A 48.9 g piece of aluminum is dropped in a graduated cylinder partially filled with water. The original volume of water in the c

ylinder was 41.8 mL. The water rose to 54.4 mL when the aluminum was dropped in. What is the density of the aluminum?

Answer:

3.88g/mL

Explanation:

Density could be understood as the mass of a compound when it occupies 1mL.

To find the mass in 1mL we need to determine the volume that the piece occupies:

Based on Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced is equal to volume of the aluminium piece, that is:

54.4mL - 41.8mL = 12.6mL

As the piece has as mass 48.9g, the density is:

48.9g / 12.6mL =

<h3>3.88g/mL</h3>

If copper carbonate system is heated for too short a time, what will you notice for mass percent of copper be too large or too s
sammy [17]

Answer:

The mass percent of copper as element is the same.

Explanation:

First of all we need the reaction that is presented below:

CuCO_{3 (s)} +Heat → CuO_{(s)} + CO_{2 (g)}

The mass percent of copper (Cu) as element is the same because of during the reaction the element only transform its nature from copper carbonate (CuCO_{3 (s)}) to copper oxide (CuO_{(s)}), the latter is a solid and will remain in the system.

On the other hand, you will note that the global percentage mass will be small because of the reaction produce (CO_{2 (g)}) that is a gas and this one will escape for the system.  

Have a great day!

Why do isotope decay
BaLLatris [955]

Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
  • This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
  • For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
  • Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

216 J of energy is required to raise the temperature of a piece of aluminum from 15.0º C to to 35º C.
ddd [48]

Answer: 12g

Explanation:

The amount of energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that:

Q = 216 joules

Mass of aluminium = ? (let unknown value be Z)

C = 0.90 JºC-1g-1

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 35°C - 15°C = 20°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

216 J = Z x 0.90 JºC-1g-1 x 20°C

216 J = Z x 18 J°g-1

Z = (216J/18 J°g-1)

Z = 12g

Thus, the mass of the aluminium is 12grams
