Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance begins to change to a gas. Melting point is the temperature at which a substance begins to turn into a liquid. And freezing point is the temperature at which a substance begins turning into a solid.
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³
If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³
The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
This is called drawing conclusions as once they are done w research, they can comprehend the subject in order to predict what may happen under the circumstances.
Just add up the molar masses of each element.
Molar mass of C: 12.011 g/mol
The equation says C20, which means there are 20 carbon atoms in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we multiply 12.011 by 20 to get 240.22 g/mol carbon.
Molar mass of H: 1.0079 g/mol
The equation says C30, which means there are 30 hydrogen atoms in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we multiply 1.0079 by 30 to get 30.237 g/mol hydrogen.
Molar mass of O: 15.999 g/mol
The equation says O without a number, which means there is only one oxygen atom in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we leave O at 15.999 g/mol.
Then, just add it up:
240.22 g/mol C + 30.237 g/mol H + 15.999 g/mol O = 286.456 g/mol C20H30O
So, the molar mass of Vitamin A, C20H30O, is approximately 286.5 g/mol.
