A rectangular block floats in pure water with 0.5 inch above the surface and 1.5 inches below the surface. When placed in an aqu

eous solution, the block of material floats with 1 inch below the surface. Estimate the specific gravities of the block and the solution. (Suggestion: Call the horizontal crosssectional area of the block A. A should cancel in your calculations.)

Answer:

- the specific gravity of the block is 0.75

- the specific gravity of the solution is 1.5

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

first we find the specific gravity of a block SGB

SGB = ( block vol below / total block vol ) × the specific gravity of water

we substitute

SG_{BLOCK = ( 1.5 / (1.5 + 0.5 ) ) × 1

SG_{BLOCK = ( 1.5 / (1.5 + 0.5 ) ) × 1

SG_{BLOCK = (1.5 / 2) × 1

SG_{BLOCK = 0.75

Therefore, the specific gravity of the block is 0.75

specific gravity of solution SG_{SOLUTION

SG_{SOLUTION = (total block vol / block below ) × SG_{BLOCK

we substitute

SG_{SOLUTION = ( 2 / 1 ) × 0.75

SG_{SOLUTION = 2  × 0.75

SG_{SOLUTION = 1.5

Therefore, the specific gravity of the solution is 1.5

How do I solve this problem?
JulijaS [17]
First question. Applying ideal gas equation PV=nRT, P= 101.3 x 10³Pa = 1atm. therefore, 1 x 260 x 10^-3 = n x 0.082 x 294.( Temperature in kelvin=273+21). n = 0.01 moles. Volume of gas at STP= n x 22.4 = 0.01x22.4 = 0.224L. Hope this helps

If the mass of the products measured 120g what would the mass of the reactants
Ket [755]
It has to be 120g because each and every chemical equation has to satisfy the law of conservation of mass, ie sum of mass of products is always equal to the sum of masses of reactants. If reactants=120g, then products=120g
