A sample of saturated clay was placed in a container and weighed. The weight was 6N. The clay in its container was placed in an oven for 24 hours at 105° C. The weight reduced to a constant value of 5N. The weight of the container is 1N. If G-2.7, determine the:
(a) water content;
(b) void ratio;
(c) bulk unit weight;
(d) dry unit weight;
(e) effective unit weight.
Answer is given below
Explanation:
given data
weight = 6N
temp = 105° C
weight reduced = 5N
solution
weight of container is 1N
SO W = (6-1) = 5
And Wd = 5 - 1 = 4
so
moisture content is
moisture content = [tex]\frac{W-Wd}{Wd} \times 100[/tex] .......1
moisture content = [tex]\frac{5-4}{4} \times 100[/tex]
moisture content = 25%
and
as we know density of soil soild = 2700 kg/m³
density of water = 1000 kg/m³
and sp gravity of soil = [tex]\frac{2700}{1000}[/tex] = 2.7
so
now we get here bulk unit weight
bulk unit wt = [tex]Yw \times [\frac{G+e}{1+e}][/tex] ..........2
bulk unit wt = [tex]9.01 \times [\frac{2.7 + 0.675}{1+0.675}][/tex]
bulk unit wt = 19.766 KN/m³
and
so dry unit wt will be
dry unit wt = [tex]\frac{Ysat}{1+w}[/tex] ..............3
dry unit wt = [tex]\frac{19.766}{1+0.25}[/tex]
dry unit wt = 15.813 kN/m³

How many grams of hydrogen gas will be produced if you start with 15.0 grams of zinc and an excess amount of HCI?
balanced equation:
Zn + 2HCI = ZnCl2 + H2
Answer:
0.48g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of zinc = 15g
Unknown:
Mass of hydrogen gas = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to state the balanced reaction expression first;
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
Find the number of moles of Zn;
Number of moles = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15}{63.4}[/tex] = 0.24mol
From the balanced reaction expression;
1 mole of Zn will produce 1 mole of H₂
0.24mole of Zn will produce 0.24mole of hydrogen gas
Mass of hydrogen gas = number of moles x molar mass
= 0.24 x (2 x 1)
= 0.48g

Choose the catabolic reaction.
A. Breaking down a complex molecule
B. Synthesizing a complex molecule
C. CO2 and H2O combining to form carbonic acid.
Answer:
B. Synthesizing a complex molecule
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since catabolic reactions are related to the synthesis of complex biomolecules and metabolic reactions to the breaking down of complex molecules to obtain energy from (say start), we infer that the appropriate answer is:
B. Synthesizing a complex molecule
Because regardless C. also mentions the synthesis of a compound, carbonic acid is not a complex one in comparison to the biomolecules we produce during our cellular cycles.

7. Use the concepts of relative abundance and relative weight to explain why carbon has an atomic mass of 12.011 amu when there are three isotopes of carbon weighing 12 amu, 13 amu and 14 amu. Why is the atomic mass not 13?
The uncertainties of the delta measurements and the uncertainty of the atomic weight derivedfrom the best measurement of isotopic abundances constrain the number of significant figures in theatomic-weight values of the upper and lower bounds. For carbon, the fifth digit after the decimal pointis uncertain because of the uncertainty value of 0.000 027. Therefore, the number of significant digitsin the atomic-weight value is reduced to four figures after the decimal point. The Commission may rec-ommend additional conservatism and reduce the number of significant figures further. For the lowerbound of carbon, 12.009 635 is truncated to 12.0096. For an upper bound, the trailing digit is increasedto ensure the atomic-weight interval encompasses the atomic-weight values of all normal materials. Inthe case of carbon, the upper bound is adjusted from 12.011 532 to 12.0116 to express four digits afterthe decimal point. The lower and upper bounds are evaluated so that the number of significant digits ineach is identical. If a value ends with a zero, it may need to be included in the value to express therequired number of digits. The following are examples of lower and upper atomic-weight bounds foroxygen that could be published by the Commission in its various tables.

The 10x SDS gel electrophoresis buffer contains 250mM Tris HCl, 1.92M Glycine, and 1% (w/v) SDS. Buffers are always used at 1x concentration in the lab (unless specified otherwise in the protocol), so you will have to dilute the 10x buffer to 1x before use. What is the concentration of Tris and SDS in the 1x buffer
Answer:
25 mM Tris HCl and 0.1% w/v SDS
Explanation:
A 10X solution is ten times more concentrated than a 1X solution. The stock solution is generally more concentrated (10X) and for its use, a dilution is required. Thus, to prepare a buffer 1X from a 10X buffer, you have to perform a dilution in a factor of 10 (1 volume of 10X solution is taken and mixed with 9 volumes of water). In consequence, all the concentrations of the components are diluted 10 times. To calculate the final concentration of each component in the 1X solution, we simply divide the concentration into 10:
(250 mM Tris HCl)/10 = 25 mM Tris HCl
(1.92 M glycine)/10 = 0.192 M glycine
(1% w/v SDS)/10 = 0.1% w/v SDS
Therefore the final concentrations of Tris and SDS are 25 mM and 0.1% w/v, respectively.
A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force. Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?
Answer:
56 J
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Force applied on the object (F): 7 NDisplacement of the object (d): 8 mStep 2: Calculate the work (w) done on the object
We can find the work done on the object using the following expression.
w = F × d × cosθ
where
θ is the angle between F and d
Since F and d occur in the same direction, θ = 0° and cosθ = 1. Then,
w = F × d × 1
w = F × d
w = 7 N × 8 m = 56 J

A geochemist in the field takes a 36.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X. He notes the temperature of the pool, 170 C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist filters the sample and then evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 3.96 g. Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 17.0C? If you said yes, calculate it.
Answer:
Yes, 0.11g/mL is the solubility of X in water at 17.0°C.
Explanation:
As the sample of water has crystals around it, the solution is oversaturated at 17.0°C. The water contains the maximum amount of X at 17.0°C, this concentration is called solubility. Thus, yes, we can calculate solubility in water at 17.0°C
The concentration of the crystals is 3.96g in 36.0mL, that is:
3.96g / 36.0mL =
0.11g/mL is the solubility of X in water at 17.0°CWhich statement correctly describes ionic bonds? Multiple Choice An ionic bond only forms between two atoms of the same element. Ionic bonds usually form between electrically neutral, stable atoms. An ionic bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together when they form bonds. All of the answer choices are correct.
Answer:
An ionic bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together when they form bonds
Explanation:
An ionic bond is formed when a metal looses electron(s) to a non metal leading to the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion.
An ionic compound is actually an ion pair, the ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.
This strong electrostatic force that holds the ion pair together in ionic compounds is what we commonly call the IONIC BOND.

A 1.018 g sample pure platinum metal was reacted with HCl to form 1.778 g of a compound containing only platinum and chlorine. Determine the empirical formula of this "Pt-Cl" Compound.
Answer:
[tex]PtCl_4[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since HCl and Pt react according to the following chemical equation:
[tex]HCl+Pt\rightarrow PtCl_x+H_2[/tex]
Whereas PtClx is the compound containing Pt and Cl; thus, since 1.018 g out of 1.778 g correspond to Pt and therefore 0.760 g to chlorine, so we determine the empirical formula of this compound by firstly computing the moles of each element:
[tex]n_{Pt}=1.018gPt*\frac{1molPt}{195.084gPt}=0.00522molPt\\\\\\n_{Cl}=0.760gCl*\frac{1molCl}{35.45gCl} =0.0214molCl[/tex]
Now, we divide the each moles by those of Pt as the fewest ones in order to compute their subscripts in the empirical formula:
[tex]Pt=\frac{0.00522}{0.00522}=1 \\\\Cl=\frac{0.0214}{0.00522} =4[/tex]
Thus, the required formula is:
[tex]PtCl_4[/tex]

A 1.018 g sample pure platinum metal was reacted with HCl to form 1.778 g of a compound containing only platinum and chlorine. What is the percent by mass of platinum?
Answer:
57.26 %
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
Pt + 2 HCl ⇒ PtCl₂ + H₂
Step 2: Calculate the mass of Pt in 1.778 g of PtCl₂
According to the law of conservation of the mass, all the mass of Pt in the reactants must be present in the products. Since PtCl₂ is the only product that contains Pt, the mass of Pt is 1.018 g
Step 3: Calculate the percent by mass of platinum in PtCl₂
We will use the following expression.
%Pt = mPt / mPtCl₂ × 100%
%Pt = 1.018 g / 1.778 g × 100% = 57.26 %

Liquid hexane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 64. g of hexane is mixed with 72.0 g of oxygen. Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer:
45.7g of CO₂ is the maximum amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced.
Explanation:
Hexane, C₆H₁₄, reacts with O₂ to produce H₂O and CO₂ as follows:
C₆H₁₄ + 13/2O₂ → 7H₂O + 3CO₂
Where 1 mole of hexane reacts with 13/2 moles of O₂.
To solve this question we need to convert the mass of each reactant to moles in order to find the limiting reactant. With limiting reactant we can find the maximum amount of CO₂ produced:
Moles C₆H₁₄ -Molar mass: 86.18g/mol-:
64g C₆H₁₄ * (1mol / 86.18g) = 0.7426 moles C₆H₁₄
Moles O₂ -Molar mass: 32g/mol-:
72.0g O₂ * (1mol / 32g) = 2.25 moles O₂
For a complete reaction of 2.25 moles of O₂ are required:
2.25 moles O₂ * (1mol C₆H₁₄ / 13/2 moles O₂) = 0.346 moles of C₆H₁₄
As there are 0.7426 moles of C₆H₁₄, C₆H₁₄ is the excess reactant and:
Oxygen is limiting reactant.
The maximum moles of CO₂ that could be produced are:
2.25 moles O₂ * (3mol CO₂ / 13/2 moles O₂) = 1.038 moles CO₂
In grams:
1.038 moles CO₂ * (44.01g / mol) =
45.7g of CO₂ is the maximum amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced.a titanium bicycle frame displays 0.250 L of water and has a mass of 1.21kg. what is the density of the titanium on g/cm3?

Last week at a tax free sale, Ms. Kuhn bought 4 shirts for $15.95 each and 2 new belts
that cost $8.95 each. If she paid with a $100 bill, how much change did she receive?
$18.30
$75.10
$2490
$24.90
Answer:
$18.30
Explanation:
The change is the amount left over after the selling price has been matched by the buyer.
Let us find the total cost of what of Ms. Kuhn bought;
For the shirt;
Cost = 4 shirts for $15.95 each = 4(15.95) = $63.8
2 new belts for $8.95 each = 2(8.95) = $17.9
Total cost = $63.8 + $17.9 = $81.7
The amount of change left = $100 - $81.7 = $18.3
