You have a shiny metal disc that weighs 1.31 kg that you want to find out what its made of. When you put the disc into a graduated cylinder with 5L in it, you see that the water level rose by about 125 mL. You have a list of densities for various shiny metals: silver= 10.5 g/ mL, nickel= 8.9 g/mL, titanium = 4.5 g/mL, and rhodium = 10.7 g/ mL. What is the disc made of?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The disc is made of silver.

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to calculate the metal's density. To do so we need its mass (already given by the problem, 1.31 kg) and its volume.

Following Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced by the disk is equal to the disk's volume. This means the metal's volume is 125 mL.

Now we convert 1.31 kg into g, to better compare with the given options:

1.31 kg * 1000 = 1310 g

Finally we calculate the metal's density:

Density = Mass / VolumeDensity = 1310 g / 125 mL = 10.48 g/mL

Looking at the densities given by the problem, the closest one is silver.

What is the concentration of a stock solution if 20 mL was used to make 400 mL of a 1.44
M solution?
30 M
40 M
50 M
5M

Answers

Given :

Volume of stock solution, [tex]V_s = 20\ mL[/tex].

Volume of diluted solution, [tex]V_d = 400 \ mL[/tex].

Molarity of diluted solution, [tex]M_d = 1.44\ M[/tex].

To Find :

The concentration of the stock solution.

Solution :

We know, dilution factor is given by :

[tex]D.F=\dfrac{V_ {diluted}}{V_{stock}}[/tex]      ....1)

and [tex]D.F= \dfrac{M_{stock}}{M_{diluted}}[/tex]     ....2)

Putting volume in above equation, we get :

D.F = 400/20

D.F = 20

Putting value of D.F in equation 2) we get :

[tex]\dfrac{M_{stock}}{M_{diluted}} = 20\\\\M_{stock} = 20\times 1.44\\\\M_{stock} =28.8\ M[/tex]

The concentration of stock solution is nearest to 30 M.

Therefore, the correct option is 1) 30 M.

Group of answer choices

Answers

Heat required : 4.8 kJ

Further explanation

The heat to change the phase can be formulated :

Q = mLf (melting/freezing)

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation)

Lf=latent heat of fusion

Lv=latent heat of vaporization

The heat needed to raise the temperature

Q = m . c . Δt

1. heat to raise temperature from -20 °C to 0 °C

[tex]\tt Q=10\times 2.09\times (0-(-20)=418~J[/tex]

2. phase change(ice to water)

[tex]\tt Q=10\times 333=3330~J[/tex]

3. heat to raise temperature from 0 °C to 25 °C

[tex]\tt Q=10\times 4.18\times (25-0)=1045~J[/tex]

[tex]\tt Q~tot=418+3330+1045=4793~J\rightarrow rounding~and~2~sig~figs=4.8~kJ[/tex]

You are sitting in the central park bleachers of a Major League baseball park. You see a batter strike a pitched ball. About 0.4 seconds later you hear the contact between the bat and the ball. In terms of the properties of light and sound waves, how do you explain the difference in the communications you receivedbabout the same event?

Answers

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The speed of light in air and space is faster than the speed of sound in the same media. Light travels with a speed of approximately 3 x [tex]10^8[/tex] m/s while sound can only travel at 343 m/s (at 20 [tex]^oC[/tex]).

Consequently, the visuals of a batter striking a pitched ball which travel by light and is perceived through the eyes would be seen before the sound of the strike.

The difference in the speeds of light and that of sound largely explains the difference in the communication received about seeing a batter striking a pitched ball before hearing the sound of the strike

Explain why the electron configuration of 2-3-1 represents an atom in an excited state?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.

This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.

However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.

You mix 15g of water with 10 grams of sodium chloride. After the reaction occurs, how
many grams of your new substance do you have?

A) 15g
B) 25g
C) 20g
D) not enough information

Answers

Answer:

B) 25g

Explanation:

Every reaction must follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

In given example:

Water + sodium chloride   →   Product

15 g   +      10 gram       =              25 g

25 g           =      25 g
