LaKeisha is measuring the density of a solid piece of metal using the graduated cylinder method. She initially measures a volume of water in the cylinder to be 3.28 mL. After placing the metal into the graduated cylinder, the new volume was 8.72 mL. The mass of the metal was 42.26 g on a top loading balance.

Required:
What is the density of the metal calculated to the correct number of significant figures?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 7.77 g/ml

Explanation:

Volume of cylinder with only water = 3.28 mL

Volume of cylinder with water and metal = 8.72 mL

Volume of metal = (Volume of cylinder with water and metal ) -(Volume of cylinder with only water)

=8.72-3.28

=5.44 ml

Mass of metal = 42.26 g

Formula of Density =  [tex]\dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}[/tex]

i.e. the density of the metal = [tex]\dfrac{42.26}{5.44}\approx7.77\text{ g/ml}[/tex]

Hence, the density of metal = 7.77 g/ml

Answers

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

There are several ways to know if an acid or base is strong. One method is calculating the pH. If the pH is really low, is a strong acid, and if it's really high is a strong base.

However we do not have a pH value here.

The other method is using bronsted - lowry theory. If an acid is strong, then his conjugate base is weak. Same thing with the bases.

Now, Looking at the 4 compounds, we can say that only two of them is weak and the other two are strong compounds. Let's see:

LiOH ---> Strong. If you try to dissociate :

LiOH ------> Li⁺ + OH⁻     The Li⁺ is a weak conjugate acid.

HF -----> Weak

HF --------> H⁺ + F⁻   The Fluorine is a relatively strong conjugate base.

HCl -----> Strong

This is actually one of the strongest acid.

NH₃ ------> Weak

Now writting the Ka and Kb expressions:

Ka = [H⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]

Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

Finally, to calculate the [OH⁻] we need to use the following expression:

Kw = [H⁻] [OH⁻]

Solving for [OH⁻] we have:

[OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺]

Remember that the value of Kw is 1x10⁻¹⁴. So replacing:

[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 7x10⁻⁶

[OH⁻] = 1.43x10⁻⁹ M

And now, multiplying by 10¹⁰ we have:

[OH⁻] = 1.429x10⁻⁹ * 1x10¹⁰

[OH⁻] = 14.29

Hope this helps

Strong acids and bases are those which completely ionized in body fluid, and weak acids and bases are those who does not completely ionized in body fluid.

[tex]\bold{[OH^-]=\dfrac{1\times10^-^1^4}{6.2\times10^-^6} = 1.43\times10^-^9}[/tex]

Now, multiplying the value by [tex]10^1^0[/tex]

[tex]\bold{( 1.429\times10^-^9) \times 1\times10^1^0= 14.29}[/tex]

The pH of a sample of blood is 7.4, while gastric juice is pH 1.4. The blood sample has: Group of answer choices 0.189 times the [H ] as the gastric juice. 6 times lower [H ] than the gastric juice. one million times lower [H ] than the gastric juice 5.29 times lower [H ] than the gastric juice. 6000 times lower [H ] than the gastric juice.

Answers

Answer:

The blood sample has [H⁺] that is one million times lower than the [H⁺] of gastric juice.

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, we obtained obtained the hydrogen ion concentration [H⁺] of the blood and gastric juice. This can be obtained as follow:

For Blood sample:

pH = 7.4

Concentration of Hydrogen ion for blood [H⁺]₁ =?

pH = – Log [H⁺]₁

7.4 = – Log [H⁺]₁

Divide both side by –1

– 7.4 = Log [H⁺]₁

Take the antilog of – 7.4

[H⁺]₁ = Antilog (–7.4)

[H⁺]₁ = 3.98×10¯⁸ M

Thus, the concentration of Hydrogen ion for blood [H⁺]₁ is 3.98×10¯⁸ M

For Gastric juice:

pH = 1.4

Concentration of Hydrogen ion for gastric juice [H⁺]₂ =?

pH = – Log [H⁺]₂

1.4 = – Log [H⁺]₂

Divide both side by –1

– 1.4 = Log [H⁺]₂

Take the antilog of – 1.4

[H⁺]₂ = Antilog (–1.4)

[H⁺]₂ = 3.98×10¯² M

Thus, the concentration of Hydrogen ion for gastric juice [H⁺]₂ is 3.98×10¯² M

Finally, we shall compare the hydrogen ion concentration [H⁺] of the blood and gastric juice. This can be obtained as follow:

Concentration of Hydrogen ion for blood [H⁺]₁ = 3.98×10¯⁸ M

Concentration of Hydrogen ion for gastric juice [H⁺]₂ = 3.98×10¯² M

[H⁺]₁ / [H⁺]₂ = 3.98×10¯⁸ / 3.98×10¯²

[H⁺]₁ / [H⁺]₂ = 1×10¯⁶

Cross multiply

[H⁺]₁ = [H⁺]₂ × 1×10¯⁶

[H⁺]₁ = [H⁺]₂ / 1000000

From the calculations made above, the blood sample has [H⁺] that is one million times lower than the [H⁺] of gastric juice.

Available are (1) a cylinder containing a mixture of 70% N2 and 30% CH4, (2) a cylinder containing a mixture of 90% N2 and 10% C2H6, and a cylinder of pure N2. Determine the proportions in which the respective gases from each cylinder should be used

Answers

Answer:

The proportions in which the respective gases from each cylinder should be used; C1 : C2 : C3 = 1 : 2.308 : C3

Explanation:

Given that;

CH4 to C2H6 =  1.3 to 1

Cylinder 1 =  70% N2 and 30% CH3

Cylinder 2 = 90% N2 and 10% C2H6

Cylinder 3 = ( pure N2 ) = 100% N2

CH4 to C2H6 =  (1.3 to 1)

we have CH4 and C2H6 in cylinder 1 and 2 only

we only have balance material in c1 and c2

Now, Let x be from cylinder and ( 1-x ) be from cylinder 2

so, 30x / 10( 1-x ) = 1.3 / 1

30x = (10 - 10x)1.3

30x = 13 - 13x

30x + 13x = 13

x = 13/43

x = 0.3023

Also, ( 1-x ) = ( 1 - 0.3023) = 0.6977

so

C1/C2 = 0.3023/0.6977 = 1 / 2.308   while c3 can be anything;

Therefore, C1 : C2 : C3 = 1 : 2.308 : C3

You have three BSA working solutions: 5ug/ul, 0.5 ug/ul, and 0.05 ug/ul. Each tube contains 500 ul of solution. How much of which concentration(s) would you pipet into three different centrifuge tubes so you end up with 20 ug, 2 ug, and 0.2 ug of BSA in each tube

Answers

Answer:

I would pipet 4 μl of each BSA work solution

Explanation:

To calculate the mass (in μg), we have to multiply the concentration C (in μg/ul) by the volume V (in μl):

C(μg/ul) x V( μl) = mass (μg)

We found the required volume for each solution, as follows:

5 μg/μl x V₁ = 20 μg ⇒ V₁ = 20 μg/(5 μg/μl ) = 4 μl

0.5 μg/μl x V₂ = 2 μg ⇒ V₂ = 2 μg/(0.5 μg/μl) = 4 μl

0.05 μg/μl x V₃ = 0.2 μg ⇒ V₃= 0.2 μg/(0.05 μg/μl) = 4 μl

Therefore, we need to pipet 4 μl of the solutions of concentrations 5μg/μl, 0.5 μg/μl, and 0.05 μg/μl to obtain the masses 20 μg, 2 μg, and 0.2 μg, respectively.

Part I: SP3 Hybridization: B: Ethane Distance between C-C in ethane: ________________ Distance between H atoms in eclipsed conformation: ________________ Distance between H atoms in staggered conformation: ________________ Which is more stable (circle one): STAGGERED or ECLIPSED

Answers

Answer:

Distance between C-C in ethane- 1.54 Å

Distance between H atoms in eclipsed conformation-2.3 Å

Distance between H atoms in staggered conformation- 2.5 Å

Staggered conformation is more stable

Explanation:

The staggered conformation of ethane can be demonstrated as the most stable of conformation of ethane, because the angles between Carbon-Hydrogen bonds in both the front and back carbon atoms are maximized.  This now minimizes the energy of this conformation compared to the eclipsed conformation.

Considering the eclipsed conformation, it is obvious that the electron densities on Carbon-Hydrogen bonds come very close together thereby bringing two C-H bonds  into a dihedral angle of almost zero degrees. This causes their electron clouds to experience strong repulsion, thereby raising the molecules's total energy.

In a laboratory setting, concentrations for solutions are measured in molarity, which is the number of moles per liter (mol/L). Concentrations are often converted to more common units on the labels of household products. For a particular brand of bleach, the concentration of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is reported on the bottle as 7.25% by mass. The following information can thus be used to calculate the molarity of NaClO in the bleach:

• 1L of bleach has a mass of 1,100 grams.

• 7.25% of the mass of bleach is NaClO.

• 1 mol of NaClO has a mass of 74.44 grams.

Answer:

Explanation:

The aim of this question is to draw the structure of genistein and determine the number of atoms with sp² hybridization in the molecule.

From the image below, we will see the lewis structure of genistein. From the image, the blue asterisk atoms are sp² hybridized and the red marked atoms are sp³ hybridized.

We will also notice that all the carbon atoms contain 3 σ-bonds with no lone pair of electrons.

Using the knowledge of Valence shell electron repulsion theory (VSEPR), the above-mentioned carbon atom is said to be sp²hybridized.

Also, the oxygen atoms which are doubly bounded contains 1 σ-bond and 2 lone pair electrons. These oxygen atoms are also sp² hybridized.

Finally, the singly bonded oxygen atom is composed of 2 σ-bonds and 2 lone pair electrons. This makes it to be sp³ hybridized.

Altogether, we have a total of 16 sp² hybridized atoms and 4 sp³ hybridized atoms.
