Answer:
6.217 pounds
Explanation:
We are given;
- Density of body fats 0.94 g/mL
- Volume of fats removed = 3.0 L
We are required to determine the mass of fats removed in pounds.
We need to know that;
Density = Mass ÷ volume
1 L = 1000 mL, thus, volume is 3000 mL
Rearranging the formula;
Mass = Density × Volume
= 0.94 g/mL × 3000 mL
= 2,820 g
but, 1 pound = 453.592 g
Therefore;
Mass = 2,820 g ÷ 453.592 g per pound
= 6.217 pounds
Thus, the amount of fats removed is 6.217 pounds
To find the mass you need to find the weight of a mol of the molecules by adding up the atomic mass.
N = 14.007 g/mol
H = 1.008 g/mol
S = 32.065 g/mol
O = 16 g/mol
2(14.007) + 8(1.008) + 32.065 + 4(16) = 132.143 g/mol
Now you know how much an entire mol weight you multiply it by how much you actually have
0.00456 * 132.143 = 0.603 g
Magnet to remove the iron, filter paper (or some filter that could trap sand) to remove the sand, and heat up the salt and water, causing the water to evaporate to separate them.
