Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

Diethyl ether is produced from ethanol according to the following equation:
juin [17]
The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(l)

We are given the yield of  CH3CH2OCH2CH3 and the amount of ethanol to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point for the calculations.

Theoretical amount of product produced:
329 g CH3CH2OH ( 1 mol / 46.07 g ) ( 1 mol CH3CH2OCH2CH3 / 2 mol CH3CH2OH ) (74.12 g / mol ) = 264.66 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3 

% yield = .775 = actual yield / 264.66


actual yield = 205.11 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3

A solid, pure substance containing just carbon and hydrogen is found to contain 35.8g of carbon and 3.72 g of hydrogen. how many
Igoryamba

Answer:

            4.36 g of Carbon

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the %age of Carbon in given Solid as;

                        Mass of Carbon  =  35.8 g

                        Mass of Hydrogen  =  3.72

                        Total Mass  =  35.8 g + 3.72  =  39.52 g

                        %age of Carbon  =  (35.8 g ÷ 39.52 g) × 100

                        %age of carbon  =  90.58 %

Step 2: Calculate grams of Carbon in 4.82 g of given solid as;

                        Mass of Carbon  =  4.82 g × (90.58 ÷ 100)

                        Mass of Carbon  =  4.36 g
