To determine the cost of the mercury per cubic inch, we need to divide the total cost with the total volume in units of cubic inches. To do this, we first determine the volume of the mercury given the mass and the density. In any operation, it is important to remember that the units of the values involved should be homogeneous so that we can cancel them. We do as follows:
mass of mercury = 76 lb ( 1 kg / 2.2 lbs ) ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) = 34545.45 g
volume of mercury in cm^3 = 34545.45 g / 13.534 g / cm^3 = 2552.49 cm^3
We need to convert this to units of cubic inches since it is what is asked.
volume of mercury in in^3 = 2552.49 cm^3 ( 1 in / 2.54 cm )^3 = 155.76 in^3
cost per in^3 = $126 / 155.76 in^3 = $ 0.809 / in^3
Answer:
Explanation In order to calculate the pH, take the negative log of the hydronium ion concentration. To find the pOH, simply subtract the pH from 14. In order to calculate the pOH, take the negative log of the hydroxide ion concentration. To find the pH, simply subtract pOH from 14.
Particles of gas are more scarcely placed as compared to that of liquid.
the intermolecular forces will be less in gaseous state and hence is less stable
