Explanation:
He weighed silver, dissolved it in acid, and then recovered all the original silver by reacting the solution with copper. He also showed, by using iron to recover the copper, that this displacement of one metal from its salt by using a second metal was not because of transmutation, as many had held.
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
1.0875 x 10-2 atm
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
2O3(g) → 3O2(g)
rate = -(1/2)∆[O3]/∆t = +(1/3)∆[O2)/∆t
The average rate of disappearance of ozone ... is found to
be 7.25 × 10–3 atm over a certain interval of time.
This means (ignoring time)
∆[O3]/∆t = -7.25 × 10^–3 atm
(it is disappearing, thus the negative sign)
rate = -(1/2)∆[O3]/∆t
rate = -(1/2)*(-7.25 × 10^–3 atm)
= 3.625 × 10^–3 atm
Now use the other part of the expression:
rate = +(1/3)∆[O2)∆t
3.625 × 10–3 atm = +(1/3)∆[O2)/t
∆[O2)/∆t = (3)*(3.625× 10^–3 atm)
= 1.0875 x 10-2 atm over the same time interval
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³
If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³
The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
