I think c is used in electric power plants.
Answer: the percent by mass of potassium nitrate is 13.3%
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
- Mass of solute, m₁ = 45.0 g
- Volume of solvent, V₂ = 295 ml
- density of water, d₂ = 0.997 g/ml
<u>2) Formulae</u>:
- Percent by mass, % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100
- Density, d = mass / volume
<u>3) Solution</u>:
- d = mass / volume ⇒ m₂ = d₂ × V₂ = 0.997 g/ml × 295 ml = 294. g
- mass of solution = m₁ + m₂ = 45.0g + 294. g = 339. g
- % = (45.0 g / 339. g) × 100 = 13.3 %
- The answer has to be reported with 3 significant figures.
This is displacement reaction.
Hello!
I'm going to have to infer that you meant "grams" and not "gallons" :-)
Anyways, to find the density, you need to the divide mass over volume (d = m/V).
Since we are given the volume being 15.0 mL, and the weight being 40.5 grams, we can find the density of the aluminum block.
40.5 grams / 15.0 mL = 2.7 g/mL
Therefore, the density of the aluminum block is 2.7 grams per milliliter.
