There is water on the pan of the scale as you measure the mass of an object. If you were to ignore the water, what would be the

effect on your density calculation?

Remember that density refers to the "mass per unit volume" of an object.

So, if an object had a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 100 milliliters, the density would be 100 grams / 100 ml.

In the question, water on the surface of the scale would add weight, so the mass of the object that you're weighing would appear to be heavier than it really is. If that happens, you'll incorrectly assume that the density is GREATER than it really is

As an example, suppose that there was 5 ml of water on the surface of the scale. Water has a density of 1 gram per milliliter (1 g/ml) so the water would add 5 grams to the object's weight. If we use the example above, the mass of the object would seem to be 105 grams, rather than 100 grams. So, you would calculate:

density = mass / volume
density = 105 grams / 100 ml
density = 1.05 g/ml

The effect on density would be that it would erroneously appear to be greater

Hope this helps!

Good luck

Marysya12 [62]
First, we write the half equations for the reduction of the chemical species present:

Cu⁺² + 2e → Cu; E° = 0.34 V
Ni⁺² + 2e → Ni; E° = - 0.23 V

In order to determine the potential of the cell, we find the difference between the two values. For this:

E(cell) = 0.34 - (-0.23)
E(cell) = 0.57 V

The second option is correct. (The difference in values is due to different values in literature, and it is negligible)

When 1.04g of cyclopropane was burnt in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rose by 3.69K. The total heat capac
STatiana [176]

Answer:

\Delta _{comb}H=-2,093\frac{kJ}{mol}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since these calorimetry problems are characterized by the fact that the calorimeter absorbs the heat released by the combustion of the substance, we can write:

Q_{rxn}+Q_{cal}=0

Thus, given the temperature change and the total heat capacity, we obtain the following total heat of reaction:

Q_{rxn}=-14.01kJ/K*3.69K\\\\Q_{rxn}=-51.70kJ

Now, by dividing by the moles in 1.04 g of cyclopropane (42.09 g/mol) we obtain the enthalpy of combustion of this fuel:

n=\frac{1.04g}{42.09g/mol}=0.0247mol\\\\\Delta _{comb}H=\frac{Q_{rxn}}{n}\\\\  \Delta _{comb}H=-2,093\frac{kJ}{mol}

Best regards!

Which of these statements is not necessarily true for two objects in thermal equilibrium?
Dmitrij [34]

1. Answer: C. The objects' temperatures have both changed by the same amount.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in thermal equilibrium when the objects have attained same temperature. Heat transfer from hotter object to colder one in contact takes place until the temperature of the two are equal. It is not necessary that the temperature of both the objects changes by same amount. After attainment of thermal equilibrium, the temperature of the objects stop changing and the tiny particles of the object move at the same rate.

Hence, the objects' temperatures have both changed by the same amount. is not necessarily true for two objects in thermal equilibrium.

2. Answer: C. Objects are made of tiny particles, and their motion depends on the temperature.

Explanation:

Kinetic theory of heat states that the kinetic energy of constituent particles determine the temperature of the object. The statement that best explains this is Objects are made of tiny particles, and their motion depends on the temperature.

The concentration of C29H60 in summer rainwater is 34 ppb. Find the molarity of this compound in nanomoles per liter (nM).
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: The concentration of C29H60 in nM per liter is 83,33 nM/liter

Explanation: Let's start from the ppb definition: ppb means parts per billion. In terms of concentracion measuring this means micrograms of solute per liter of solution.

The algebraic expression would be:

<em>ppb [=] micrograms of compound/liter of solution</em>

We can assume that the solvent is water. The solute is dissolved in water and both create the C29H60 solution.

For the exercise we have 34 ppb of C29H60, that means 34 micrograms of C29H60 in one liter of solution. So, since now, we have to convert the units from the initial data to the required answer.

The respective procedure is in a attached file.
