A sailor on a trans-Pacific solo voyage notices one day that if he puts 735.mL of fresh water into a plastic cup weighing 25.0g,

the cup floats in the seawater around his boat with the fresh water inside the cup at exactly the same level as the seawater outside the cup (see sketch at right).
Calculate the amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and round it to 2 significant digits.

You'll need to know that the density of fresh water at the temperature of the sea around the sailor is 0.999/gcm3. You'll also want to remember Archimedes' Principle, that objects float when they displace a mass of water equal to their own mass.

Answer:

Amount of salt in 1 L seawater = 34 g

Explanation:

According to Archimedes' principle, mass of freshwater and cup = mass of equal volume of seawater

mass of freshwater = density * volume

1 cm³ = 1 mL

mass of freshwater = 0.999 g/cm³ * 735 cm³ = 734.265 g

mass of freshwater + cup = 734.265 + 25 = 759.265 g

Therefore,  mass of equal volume of seawater = 759.265 g

Volume of seawater displaced = 735 mL = 0.735 L (assuming the cup volume is negligible)

1 liter = 1000 cm³ = 1000 mL;

Density of seawater = mass / volume

Density of seawater = 759.265 g / 0.735 L = 1033.01 g/L

Density of freshwater in g/L = 0.999 g/ (1/1000) L = 999 g/L

mass of 1 Liter seawater = 1033.01 g

mass of 1 Liter freshwater = 999 g

mass of salt dissolved in 1 L of seawater = 1033.01 g - 999 g = 34.01 g

Therefore, amount of salt in 1 L seawater = 34 g

A sample of neon has a volume of 40.81 m3 at 23.5C. At what temperature, in Kelvins, would the gas occupy 50.00 cubic meters? As
mezya [45]

At  \fbox{\begin \\363 K \end{minispace}}  temperature, a sample of neon gas will occupy 50.00 \text{ m}^{3} volume.

Further Explanation:

The given problem is based on the concept of Charles’ law. Charles’ law states that “at constant pressure and fixed mass the volume occupied an ideal gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.”

Mathematically the law can be expressed as,

\fbox{ \begin \\ V \propto T \end{minispace}}

Or,

\frac{V}{T}=k

Here, <em>V</em> is the volume of the gas, <em>T</em> is Kelvin temperature, and <em>k</em> is proportionality constant.

Given information:

The initial volume of neon gas is 40.81 \text{ m}^{3} .

The final volume of neon gas is  50.00 \text{ m}^{3}.

The initial temperature value is 23.5 \text{ } ^{\circ} \text{C} .

To calculate:

The final temperature

Given Condition:

  • The pressure is constant.
  • Mass of gas is fixed.

Solution:

Step 1: Modify the mathematical expression for Charles’ law for two different temperature and volume values as follows:

\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Here,

  • V_{1}is the initial volume of the gas.
  • V_{2} is the final volume of the gas.
  • T_{1} is the initial temperature of the gas.
  • T_{2} is the final temperature of the gas.

Step 2: Rearrange equation (2) for .

\fbox {\begin \\T_{2}=\frac{(V_{2}) \times (T_{1})}{V_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}                                                                  …… (2)

Step 3: Convert the given temperature  from degree Celsius to Kelvin.

The conversion factor to convert degree Celsius to Kelvin is,

T(\text{K}) = T(^{\circ}\text{C}) + 273.15                                      …… (3)

Substitute 23.5\text{ }^{\circ} \text{C} for T(^{\circ}\text{C})  in equation (3) to convert temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin.

T(\text{K}) = 23.5 \text{ } ^{\circ} \text{C} + 273.15\\T(\text{K})= 296.65 \text{ K}

Step 4: Substitute 40.81 \text{ m}^{3}  for V_{1} ,  50.00 \text{ m}^{3} for V_{2}  and  296.65 \text{ K} for T_{1}  in equation (2) and calculate the value of T_{2} .

T_{2}=\frac{(50.00 \text{ m}^{3}) \times (296.65 \text{ K})}{40.81 \text{ m}^{3}}\\T_{2}=363.45 \text{ K}\\T_{2} \approx 363 \text{ K}

Important note:

  • The temperature must be in Kelvin.
  • The condition of fixed mass and fixed pressure must be fulfilled in order to apply Charles’ law.

Describe the location of the negative charges of the atom in j.j thompsons plum pudding model
iren2701 [21]

The location of the negative charges is evenly distributed throughout the entire atom.

J. J. Tomson concluded that atoms are divisible and that the corpuscles are their building blocks.

Atoms are made up of smaller particles.

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron ( the negative charges of the atom) in 1897.

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge and evenly distributed throughout the entire atom.

With this model, he abandoned his earlier hypothesis that the atom was composed of immaterial vortices.

Later, Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate.
