A famous chemical company in Oman hired you as a research chemist. On the very first day of your job, your senior asked you to determine the density of a newly discovered unknown metal. In your lab, two liquids named X and Y are available with densities of 3.0771 g/mL and 4.0017 g/mL respectively. In the process of finding density you made a mixture of these liquids and drop a small object of that unknown metal, however, you notice that the object becomes suspended in the liquid; that is, it neither sinks nor floats. If the mixture was made of 32.77 percent X and 67.23 percent Y by volume, what is the density of the metal?

A chemist must prepare 275.mL of 25.0mM aqueous barium chlorate BaClO32 working solution. He'll do this by pouring out some 54.9mM aqueous barium chlorate stock solution into a graduated cylinder and diluting it with distilled water. Calculate the volume in mL of the barium chlorate stock solution that the chemist should pour out. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Your 50 mL beaker has a mass of 6.65 g. You add 10.00 mL to the 50 mL beaker and now the total mass is 17.45 g. You originally used 5.14 g of NaCl to make the solution. What is the percent composition of your solution? These calculations are described in the lab procedure in detail.
Jacquel Adding or subtracting and multiplying or dividing measurements A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of potassium chloride. The concentration of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution. Here's how the student prepared the solution: • The label on the graduated cylinder says: empty weight: 4.200 g • She put some solid potassium chloride into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the potassium chloride added, the cylinder weighed 71.0 g. • She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the potassium chloride completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 133.0 mL. What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can. . Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under the funnel turns a deep purple. . Sample B is 100. mL of a clear liquid. The density of the liquid is measured, and turns out to be 0.77 g/mL. The liquid is then cooled in the refrigerator At 10.0 °C crystals begin to appear. The temperature of the liquid continues to decrease as more crystals form, until at 6.2 °C the liquid is entirely solid. Is sample A made from a pure substance or a mixture? If the description of the substance and the outcome of the experiment isn't enough to decide, choose "can't decide." Is sample B made from a pure substance or a…
Aqueous hydrobromic acid HBr will react with solid sodium hydroxide NaOH to produce aqueous sodium bromide NaBr and liquid water H2O. Suppose 79.3 g of hydrobromic acid is mixed with 24. g of sodium hydroxide. Calculate the minimum mass of hydrobromic acid that could be left over by the chemical reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
67. Pure bromobenzene, C H Br, boils at 156.0°C and has a boiling point constant of 6.26°C/m. A sample of bromo benzene is contaminated by anthracene, C4H10. The boiling point of the impure sample is 159.2°C. How pure is the sample? (Express your answer as mass percent bromobenzene.) I've spent forever trying to figure this out. For now my answer is 6.56%, but it doesn't seem right. Before, I got 97.9%. are either of those correct?
A chemist prepares a solution of zinc nitrate (Zn(NO,).) by weighing out 166. g of zinc nitrate into a 300. mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water.

About two centuries ago, Benjamin Franklin showed that 1teaspoon of oil would cover about 0.5 acre of still water. If you know that 1.0 x 104 m2= 2.47 acres and that there is approximately 5 cm3 in a teaspoon, what is the thickness of the 0.5-acre layer of oil? How might this thickness be related to the sizes of molecules?
One half tsp of table salt (NaCl) weighs aproximately 2.0 grams. (You will need to look up the molar mass for NaCl) There are approximately 237 ml in a cup. Determine the Molarity of the solution 1 cup water with one half tsp table salt. Determine the molarity of this solution using the formula M=g/MM/L. What is the molarity? Show your calculations. (Remember to convert 237 mL to L)
A chemist must dilute 88.2mL of 6.18mM aqueous copper(II) fluoride CuF2 solution until the concentration falls to 5.00mM. She'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
