You are determining the density of an unknown solid. You figure out the volume by water displacement. Then you weigh the solid,

but forget to dry it off first. The calculated density will be larger, smaller, or the correct value? Why?

Answer:

The calculated density will be larger

Explanation:

The calculated density will be <u>larger</u>. Because, the volume is taken accurately, by the water displacement method. But, when we the took the mass, the water was present on the unknown solid. So, the mass of that water was added to the original mass of the solid. Hence, the mass measured was larger than the original mass. We, know from the formula of density that density is directly proportional to the mass of the object.

Density = Mass/Volume

Hence, the larger measured mass means the larger value of density.

In one compound of nitrogen and oxygen, 0.615 grams of nitrogen combines with 0.703 grams of oxygen. In another 1.27 grams of ni
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

In the first case, we divide each of the masses by the respective atomic masses:

N =0.615/14 = 0.043928571428571

O = 0.703/16 = 0.0439375

It can be seen here that the values are similar, hence the formula is NO

now let us look at the second data set:

N = 1.27/14 = 0.090714285714286

O = 2.9/16 = 0.18125

We now divide by the smallest

N = 090714285714286/090714285714286 = 1

O = 0.18125/090714285714286 = 2

The formula here is thus NO2.

It can be seen that there are different oxides of nitrogen here which clearly indicates the law of multiple proportion.

Why alkali metal impart characteristic colours when introduced to flame​
aliina [53]
Alkali metals impart characteristic colours to the flame due to low ionisation enthalpy, when an alkali metal or its salt is heated in a flame, the valence electrons are excited to higher energy level.
