Answer:

Average density of the liquid = 0.992 g/mL

Explanation:

Density = mass/volume

mass of liquid = (mass of liquid + mass of cylinder) - mass of cylinder

Trial 1: mass of liquid = 19.731 - 9.861 = 9.87

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.87 g / 10 mL = 0.987 g/mL

Trial 2: mass of liquid = 19.831 - 9.861 = 9.97

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.97 g / 10 mL = 0.997 g/mL

Trial 3: mass of liquid = 19.831 - 9.861 = 9.97

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.97 g / 10 mL = 0.997 g/mL

Trial 4: mass of liquid = 19.771 - 9.861 = 9.91

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.91 g / 10 mL = 0.991 g/mL

Trial 5: mass of liquid = 19.751 - 9.861 = 9.89

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.89 g / 10 mL = 0.989 g/mL

Average density = (0.987 + 0.997 + 0.997 + 0.991 + 0.989)/5 = 4.961/5

Average density of the liquid = 0.992 g/mL

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change?

Zanzabum

In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed. The distinction between physical and chemical change is not clear cut.

Which question cannot be answered by science?

Bumek [7]

Hi!

The question that science cannot answer is any question which is opinionated. It cannot have one true answer because it is simply subjective.

Other examples would be any question which cannot successfully follow the scientific method.

So, in the case of the question - the answer is going to be whichever question is opinionated. Just as a hint, not everyone thinks endangered animals should be protected.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

An unknown compound contains 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 % oxygen. what is the empirical formula of this compound

Temka [501]

The amount per 100 g is:

38.7 % calcium = 38.7g Ca / 100g compound = 38.7g

19.9 % phosphorus = 19.9g P / 100g compound = 19.9g

41.2 % oxygen = 41.2g O / 100g compound = 41.2g

The molar amounts of calcium, phosphorus and oxygen in 100g sample are calculated by dividing each element’s mass by its molar mass:

Ca = 38.7/40.078 = 0.96

P = 19.9/30.97 = 0.64

O = 41.2/15.99 = 2.57

C0efficients for the tentative empirical formula are derived by dividing each molar amount by the lesser value that is 0.64 and in this case, after that multiply wih 2.

Ca = 0.96 / 0.64 = 1.5=1.5 x 2 = 3

P = 0.64 / 0.64 = 1 = 1x2= 2

O = 2.57 / 0.64 = 4= 4x2= 8

Since, the resulting ratio is calcium 3, phosphorus 2 and oxygen 8

So, the empirical formula of the compound is Ca₃(PO₄)₂

Rank the compounds in each set in order of increasing acid strength.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high electronegativity as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an inductive effect. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be weaker and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion $H^+$ ).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have 2 Br atoms near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have more acidity. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the position of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a higher inductive effect and more acidity.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
