A standard backpack is approximately 30cm x 30cm x 40cm. Suppose you find a hoard of pure gold while treasure hunting in the wil

derness. How much mass would your backpack hold if you filled it with the gold? An average student has a mass of 70 kg. How do these values compare?

Explanation:

The dimensions of a standard backpack is 30cm x 30cm x 40cm

The mass of an average student is 70 kg

We know that, the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³.

Let m be the mass of the backpack. So,

\text{density}=\dfrac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=19.3\ g/cm^3\times (30\times 30\times 40)\ cm^3\\\\m=694800\ g\\\\\text{or}\\\\m=694.8\ kg\approx 700\ kg

An average student has a mass of 70 kg. If we compare the mass of student and mass of backpack, we find that the backpack is 10 times of the mass of the student.

What factors could have affected your results?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

heat gained by metal + heat lost by water = 0

           m₁C₁ΔT₁           +         m₂C₂ΔT₂         = 0

C₁ = -(m₂C₂ΔT₂)/(m₁ΔT₁)

The factors determining C₁ are

  • mass of water
  • temperature change of water (T_f - Ti)
  • mass of metal
  • temperature change of metal (T_f - Ti)

Any factor that makes the numerator higher or the denominator lower than what you thought, will give a calculated C₁ that is too high (and vice versa).

The major sources of uncertainty are probably in determining the temperatures, especially the initial and final temperatures of the metal. However, you will have to decide what the principal factors were in your experiment.

For example, did the metal have a chance to cool during the transfer to the calorimeter? How easy was it to determine the equilibrium temperature, etc?

What mass of hydrogen contains the same number of atoms as 7.00 g of nitrogen
Leto [7]
Molecular mass of nitrogen, N2 = 2*14 = 28
molecular mass of hydrogen, H2=2*1 = 2

Molecules of both elements contain 2 atoms, so the ratio of molecules is the same as the ratio of atoms.

From the molecular masses above, 
ratio of number of molecules = ratio of molecular masses, therefore
7g N2 : x g H2 = 28:2
cross multiply:
x=7*2/28=0.5 g of Hydrogen has the same number of atoms as 7 g of nitrogen (at room temperatures)

Why do higher trophic levels is most ecosystem contain fewer organisms than lower trophic levels
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

With less energy at higher trophic levels, there are usually fewer organisms as well

Explanation: Organisms tend to be larger in size at higher trophic levels, but their smaller numbers result in less biomass. Biomass is the total mass of organisms at a trophic level.
