Sofia is trying to find the density of a 25.0 g irregularly shaped solid. She filled a graduated cylinder with 25.0 mL of water.

After adding the solid the water rises to 56.5 mL. What is the density of the solid? Does this solid float or sink in water

The volume of the solid is
56.5 ml - 25 ml = 31.5 ml
The mass of the solid = 25g
So the density is Mass/ Volume
25/ 31.5 = 0.79 g/ml

Since the solid has a lower density (0.79 g/ml) than the density of water (1g/ml) it will float on water

Answer:  Density:  0.794 g/ml.  It would float.

Explanation:  The mass of 25.0 grams displaces (56.5 - 25.0) = 31.5 ml of water, it's volume (when submerged).  Density is mass per unit volume:

25.0 grams/31.5 ml = 0.794 g/ml

Water's density is 1 g/ml, so this obect would float.  (Don't ask me why it displaced 31.5 ml.  It won't unless it is pushed down, then the volume of the finger needs to be determined and subtracted from the calculated volume.

What is the concentration (in M) of a 225ml potassium sulfate solution that contains 4.15g of potassium?
mars1129 [50]

The concentration of solution in M or mol/L can be calculated using the following formula:

C=\frac{n}{V} .... (1)

Here, n is number of moles and V is volume of solution in L.

The molecular formula of potassium sulfate is K_{2}SO_{4} thus, there are 2 moles of potassium in 1 mol of potassium sulfate.

1 mol of potassium will be there in 0.5 mol of potassium sulfate.

Mass of potassium is 4.15 g, molar mass is 39.1 g/mol.

Number of moles can be calculated as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass

Putting the values,

n=\frac{(4.15 g}{(39.1 g/mol}=0.1061 mol

Thus, number of moles of  K_{2}SO_{4} will be 0.1061\times 0.5=0.053 mol.

The volume of solution is 225 mL, converting this into L,

1 mL=10^{-3}L

Thus,

225 mL=0.225 L

Putting the values in equation (1),

C=\frac{(0.053 mol}{0.225 L}=0.236 M

Therefore, concentration of potassium sulfate solution is 0.236 M.

A 3.31-g sample of lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, molar mass = 331 g/mol, is heated in an evacuated cylinder with a volume of 2.53 L. T
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

0.486atm is the pressure of the cylinder

Explanation:

1 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ descomposes in 4 moles of NO2 and 1 mole of O2. That is 1 mole descomposes in 5 moles of gas.

To find the pressure of the cylinder, we need to find moles of gas produced, and using general gas law we can determine the pressure of the gas:

<em>Moles Pb(NO₃)₂ and moles of gas:</em>

3.31g * (1mol / 331g) = 0.01 moles of Pb(NO₃)₂.

That means moles of gas produced is 0.05 moles.

<em>Pressure of the gas:</em>

Using PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

<em>Where P is pressure (Incognite)</em>

<em>V is volume (2.53L)</em>

<em>R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK)</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature (300K)</em>

And n are moles of gas (0.05 moles)

P = 0.05mol*0.082atmL/molK*300K / 2.53L

P = 0.486atm is the pressure of the cylinder

The mass % of Ca in CaSO4 is 29.45%. To calculate the mass of Ca present in a 25.6-g sample of this compound, the correct proced
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 29.45 / 100 x 25.6 = 7.5392 grams

Explanation:

It is given in the question that in 100 gms of CaSO4 there are 29.45 grams of Ca present and there is 25.6 gram of total CaSO4 sample present, So, to calculate the exact value of calcium in this given sample is:

mass of Ca = total amount of sample*percentage of calcium in sample /100

M of Ca =25.6*29.45/100

M of Ca = 7.5392 grams

Thus, the correct procedure is given by 29.45 / 100 x 25.6 = 7.5392 grams

2. The Density of Water is 1.0000g/cm3. Based on this property of water,
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

if the object sank then that object has a greater density then water. if the object floated then its density is lower then water.

Explanation:

lets say object 1 has a density of 24/cm3. the density is greater then water (1.0000g/cm3) so it would sink. now lets say object 2 has a density of 0.79383g/cm3 since it's less then the density of water (1.0000g/cm3) it would float.
