Use the volume and density of the gold statue to calculate the mass of the statue.
density = mass / volume, or rearranged, mass = density • volume
Convert the volume of the statue from L to mL so volume unit agrees with density unit
mass of statue = 19.3 g/mL • 1000 mL = 19 300 g
Mass of sand must be same as the mass of the statue, 19 300 g
Use the mass and density of the sand to calculate the volume of sand needed
density = mass / volume, or rearranged, volume = mass / density
volume of sand needed = 19 300 g / 23 g/mL = 8391 mL or 8.391 L

Calculate the density of the statue from the measured mass and volume. If the calculated density agrees with the known density of gold, then the statue is made from pure gold.
density = mass / volume
Convert the mass from kg to g as you want the answer in g/mL so you can compare it to the reference value of gold given in the problem. 16.5 kg • 1000 g / 1 kg = 16 500 g
density of the statue = 16 500 g / 954 mL = 17.3 g/mL
Since this density, 17.3 g/mL is significantly different from the known density of gold, 19.3 g/mL, the statue cannot be made of pure gold. The gold was mixed with a less dense metal.
Answer:
Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Selenium are the only <u>poly</u>atomic elements.
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodide are all <u>di</u>atomic elements.
Expression for the Balmer series to find the wavelength of the spectral line is as follows:
1 / λ = R
Where, λ is wavelength, R is Rydberg constant, and n is integral value (4 here → Fourth level)
Substitute 1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ for R and 4 for n in the above equation
1 / λ = (1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹)
= 0.20568 x 10⁷ m⁻¹
λ = 4.86 x 10⁻⁷ m
since 1 m = 10⁹ nm
λ = 486 nm
There is no effect. When you observe a substance's physical properties, you're not doing anything that would catalyze a chemical change. For example, you most often observe with your eyes, and/or, if safe, you waft the substance's smell to your nose. Neither of these observations will effect the substance's physical properties.
Answer:
A type of an atom which has a different number of neutrons but the same atomic number, therefore making it the same element. This atom would still have the same properties as well. (Ex: Vanadium-51 is an isotope of Vanadium that has 51 neutrons but still has 23 protons, as its atomic number is 23.)
