The proprietor of a rock shop insists that a nugget is pure gold. if the nugget occupies a volume of 5.40 ml, what would its mas

Density of gold = 19.3 g/mL

Density can be calculated from volume and mass of a substance as follows,

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Given the volume of gold nugget = 5.40 mL

Calculating the mass of gold nugget from density and volume:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass = Density * Volume

5.40 mL * 19.3 \frac{g}{mL} =104.22 g

Therefore, the mass of the nugget is 104.22 g

A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

T=2.78x10^3 \°C

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that the safe temperature may be computed via the ideal gas law as we now the pressure, mass and volume via the dimensions:

V=\pi r^2 h=\pi *(41.0cm)^2*49.2cm=2.60x10^5cm^3*\frac{1L}{1000cm^3} =260L

The pressure in atm is:

P=3.70MPa*\frac{1x10^6Pa}{1MPa} \frac{1atm}{101325Pa} =36.5atm

And the moles considering the mass and molar mass (66 g/mol) of dinitrogen difluoride (N₂F₂):

n_{N_2F_2}=2.50kg*\frac{1000g}{1kg}*\frac{1mol}{66g} =37.9mol

In sich a way, by applying the ideal gas equation, which is not the best assumption but could work as an approximation due to the high temperature, the temperature, with three significant figures, will be:

T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{36.5Pa*260L}{37.9mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K} }\\  \\T=3053.6K-273.15\\\\T=2.78x10^3 \°C

Best regards.

A substance has a density of 4.5gmL. What is this in kgL? Report your answer with two significant figures.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

4.5 kg/L

Explanation:

Density is 4.5g/mL and it means that in 1 mL of volume, the mass contained is 4.5 g.

Let's make a rule of three

1L = 1000 mL

1 mL has a mass of 4.5 g

1000 mL would have 4500 g

Our new density would be 4500 g/L, but we may convert the g to kg

1 kg / 1000 g . 4500 g = 4.5 kg

In conclusion 4.5 g/mL = 4.5 kg/L

A certain radioactive atom has 90 protons and 142 neutrons. If this atom undergoes alpha decay, what is the mass number of the d
Hatshy [7]

Answer: the mass number of the daugther atom is 232,


Explanation:


1) Alpha (α) decay is a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus (parent's nucleus) emits an alpha (α) particle and leads to a different atom (daughter atom).


2) The alpha (α) particle is a nucleus of helium atom, i,e, a nucleus with two protons and two neutrons. The symbol used for the α particles is <em>⁴₂He</em>, where the superscript 4 indicates the mass number (2 protons + 2 neutrons = mass number 4), and the subscript 2 indicates the atomic number (number of protons).


3) Then, to determine the mass number of the daughter atom you just need to do a mass number balance:


mass number of the parent atom = mass number of the daugther atom + mass number of the α particle.


The mass number of the radioactive (parent) atom is 90 protons + 142 neutrons = 232.


∴ 232 = x + 4 ⇒ x = 232 - 4 = 228 ← answer.


The full equation may help you to have a wider vision of the problem:


²³²₉₀ X → ⁴₂ He + ²²⁸₈₈ Y

Note this:

  • 232 = 4 + 228 (this is a mass number balance)
  • 90 = 2 + 88 (this is an atomic number balance)
  • X is the parent atom, and Y is the daughter atom
  • You can use a periodic table to determine the identity of the unknown atoms (using the atomic numbers).

The density of an unknown crystal is 2.65gmL. If a 4.46 g sample of the crystal is added to a graduated cylinder containing 25.0
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Total volume after adding crystal = 26.7 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of crystal = 2.65 g/mL

Mass of sample = 4.46 g

Volume of water = 25.0 mL

Volume after adding crystal = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the volume of crystal.

d = m/v

2.65 g/mL = 4.46 g/ v

v = 4.46 g/2.65 g/mL

v = 1.7 mL

Total volume after adding crystal = Volume of water + Volume of metal

Total volume after adding crystal = 25.0 mL + 1.7 mL

Total volume after adding crystal = 26.7 mL
