Sam believes the rock is more denser than the pencil. He measured the mass of the rock to be 8.5 grams and volume to be 4.5mL. H

e measured the mass of the pencil to be 2.4 grams and volume to be 4.5mL. Density is the mass per unit volume of an object. When he put the rock and pencil into the water, the pencil floated and the rock sank. Which is more denser? Give your reasoning using actual density values.

Answer:

Rock

Explanation:

Let's calculate the density of each object:

Rock:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{8.5\ g}{4.5\ mL}=1.9\ g/mL

Pencil:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{2.4\ g}{4.5\ mL}=0.53\ g/mL

Therefore the rock is denser.

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L at 198 ºC. Assuming that the pressure remains constant, what tem
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L

Temperature = 198 °C = 471 K

The volume will be reduced to 2.50 L

Step 2 Calculate the new temperature via Charles' law

V1/T2 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 5.10 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 471 K

⇒with V2 = the reduced volume of the gas = 2.50 L

⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

5.10 L / 471 K = 2.50 L / T2

T2 = 2.50 L / (5.10 L / 471 K)

T2 = 230.9 K = -42.1

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Explain how chemists overcome the problem of low yield In industry
mrs_skeptik [129]

High temperature and pressure produce the highest rate of reaction. However, this must be balanced with the high cost of the energy needed to maintain these conditions. Catalysts increase the rate of reaction without affecting the yield. This can help create processes which work well even at lower temperatures.

I hope this helps you.
