Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.17 \ g/mL}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the density of a metal. Density is the mass per unit volume. It is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.

$\rho= \frac{m}{v}$

The mass of the metal sample is 24.64 grams and the volume is 5.91 milliliters. We can substitute these values into the formula.

m= 24.64 g
v= 5.91 mL

$\rho=\frac{24.64 \ g }{5.81 \ mL}$

Divide.

$\rho= 4.169204738 \ g/mL$

The mass measurement has 4 significant figures the volume measurement has 3 significant figures. Our answer for density must match the least number of significant figures, which is 3.

For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 9 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 6 up to a 7.

$\rho \approx 4.17 \ g/mL$

The density of this metal is approximately 4.17 grams per milliliter.

motikmotik

Acids are donors of protons (H+) and bases are acceptors of protons.
For example:
1) hydrochloric acid (HCl) in reaction with water give one proton to water and become chloride anion (Cl-).
2) ammonia (NH3) Is base, in reaction with water accepts one protone and become ammonium cation (NH4+).

Which two types of information are written in an element's box in the periodic table?

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Yes it is B,D.

Explanation:

Each box represents an element and contains its atomic number, symbol, average atomic mass, and (sometimes) name. The elements are arranged in seven horizontal rows, called periods or series, and 18 vertical columns, called groups.

The gravitational force between which two objects would be the most difficult to notice? A. The moon and the earth b. The moon a

Ghella [55]

Answer:

d. A water particle and an air particle

Explanation:

The force of gravity (F) between two objects of masses m1 and m2 and separated by a distance r is given as:

$F = G\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }$

where G is the gravitational constant

This force is therefore, directly proportional to the masses and inversely related to the distance between them.

Based on the given options, since the masses of the water and air particles are very small (masses of earth, moon and sun is relatively huge), the gravitational force between them would be negligible and difficult to measure.

A chemical equation is shown:

taurus [48]

The number of oxygen atoms are 6 atoms

Explanation

According to the law of mass conservation the number of reactant atoms is equal to number of product atoms.

For given equation to obey the law of mass conservation it need to be balanced as below

4 Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃

Al₂O₃ is the product,therefore the number of oxygen atom

= coefficient in front of Al₂O₃ × subscript of O

=2 x 3 = 6 atoms
