Answer:

Since their family turned off the heat, it should be cold, the pipes must be freezing, and there is water in the pipes which means the water in the pipes is freezing causing it to burst.

Explanation:

In the extreme winters , the water inside pipes freeze, on freezing it's(water molecule)  density decreases and volume increases and therefore, the ice then expands and pushes the water towards the faucet, causing high pressure buildup in the pipe and after a limit the pipe burst. This is what happened to the family in Ottawa, where winters are chilly.

1.

Density can be defined as the mass of the substance in unit volume.

Density = mass / volume

Hence, g/mL and kg/L can be used as the units of density.

Those units are interchangeable because when converting one unit into other one nothing will happen to the value.

That is because when converting the g into kg, you have to multiply the value by 1 x 10⁻³. When converting mL into L, you should again multiply the volume by 1 x 10⁻³. Then those 1 x 10⁻³ will cancel off and the original value will remain as same.

2.

Answer is 2.70 g/mL.

<em>Explanation;</em>

Mass of the block = 146 g

Volume of the block =  length x width x height

                                  = 6.0 cm x 3.0 cm x 3.0 cm

                                  = 54 cm³ = 54 mL

Density = mass / volume

            = 146 g / 54 mL

            = 2.70 g/mL

3.

Answer is  3.39 g/mL.

<em>Explanation;</em>

When immersing an object in a solution, the increased volume indicates the volume of that object.

Hence,

  Volume of the object = increased volume of water level

                                      = final volume - initial volume

                                      = 27.8 mL - 21.2 mL

                                      = 6.6 mL

Mass of the object = 22.4 g

Density = Mass / Volume

            = 22.4 g / 6.6 mL

            = 3.39 g/mL

4.

Accepted value is the value that scientists and community accept as true. This is a theoretical value.

But the measured value is the value that you obtain from doing experiments. This is the actual value.

If your measured value is more close to the accepted value, then your measured value is more precise. But, if your measured value is far away from accepted value means that your value is not precise and there may have some errors.

5.

Answers : Percent error is 9.11 %

                 The element which has 7.13 g/cm³ as density is Zinc (Zn).

<em>Explanation;</em>

Percent error can be calculated by using following formula.

% error = ( (measured value - accepted value) / accepted value ) x 100%

            = ( (7.78 g/cm³ - 7.13 g/cm³) / 7.13 g/cm³ ) x 100%

            = 9.11 %

How many grams of hydrogen chloride can be produced from 1.00g of hydrogen and 55.0g of chlorine? what is the limiting reactant?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

m_{HCl}=36.1gHCl

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the required grams of HCl by firstly identifying the limiting reactant via the moles of each reactant as they are in a 1:1 mole ratio:

n_{H_2}=1.00gH_2*\frac{1molH_2}{2.02gH_2}=0.500molH_2\\\\ n_{Cl_2}=55.0gCl_2*\frac{1molCl_2}{70.9gCl_2}=0.776molCl_2

Thus, we infer the hydrogen is the limiting reactant and therefore we use its 1:2 mole ratio with HCl whose molar mass is 36.46 g/mol:

m_{HCl}=0.500molH_2*\frac{2molHCl}{1molH_2}*\frac{36.46gHCl}{1molHCl}\\\\m_{HCl}=36.1gHCl

Regards!

When 8.0 grams of sodium hydroxide is dissolved in sufficient water to make 400. mL of solution, what is the concentration of th
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The concentration of this sodiumhydroxide solutions is 0.50 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOh) = 8.0 grams

Molar mass of sodium hydroxide = 40.0 g/mol

Volume water = 400 mL  = 0.400 L

Step 2: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = mass NaOH / molar mass NaOH

Moles NaOH = 8.0 grams / 40.0 g/mol

Moles NaOh = 0.20 moles

Step 3: Calculate concentration of the solution

Concentration solution = moles NaOH / volume water

Concentration solution = 0.20 moles / 0.400 L

Concentration solution = 0.50 M

The concentration of this sodiumhydroxide solutions is 0.50 M
