Answer:

b. glass and charcoal

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Density of Pb: 11.4 g/mL
  • Density of Glass: 2.6 g/mL
  • Density of Au: 19.3 g/mL
  • Density of charcoal: 0.57 g/mL
  • Density of platinum: 21.4 g/mL

Step 2: Determine which material will float in molten lead

Density is an intrinsic property of matter. Less dense materials float in more dense materials. The materials whose density is lower than that of lead and will therefore float on it are glass and charcoal.

Hydrogen  H weight: 81

Non-metal

Hydrogen is the simplest element; an atom consists of only one proton and one electron. It is also the most plentiful element in the universe. Despite its simplicity and abundance, hydrogen doesn't occur naturally as a gas on the Earth--it is always combined with other elements.

period 1 group 1

Hydrogen is easily the most abundant element in the universe. It is found in the sun and most of the stars, and the planet Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen. On Earth, hydrogen is found in the greatest quantities as water.

You are starting with 2 pounds of 30% acetic acid solution. You want to dilute
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The mass of water to be added is 2 pounds

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the given solution = 2 pounds

The concentration of the given solution = 30%

The desired concentration of the solution = 15%

The mass, m of the acetic acid in the given solution = 30% × 2 pounds

m = 30/100 × 2 pounds = 0.6 pounds

To make a 15% acetic acid solution of acetic acid, the mass X of the required volume, is given as follows;

15% of X = 0.6 pounds

15/100 × X = 3/20 × 0.6 pounds

∴ The mass of the solution required  X = 0.6 × 20/3 = 4 pounds

The mass of the solution that will contain 0.6 pounds of acetic acid giving a 15% acetic acid solution is 4 pounds

Therefore, the mass of water to be added to the original solution to make the a 15% acetic acid solution is 2 pounds.
