A friend of yours went panning for gold last weekend and found a nugget that appears to be gold. With your newfound scientific prowess, you set out to determine if it is really gold. Your tests show that the nugget has a mass of 7.6 g. Immersing the nugget in water raised the volume from 7.22 mL to 8.06 mL. The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3. What will you tell your friend?

Concept explainers

Introduction to chemistry

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the analysis of material and the substances that comprise it. It also manages the properties of these substances and their reactions to form new substances. It is basically centered on particles and atoms that make up components and mixtures. These chemical species will in general connect using bonds.

Calculate the edge length in m and the volume in L for a cubical box that will “exactly” contain 4.32x1023 atoms. Assume the diameter of the Argon atom is 3.4 Å (1.000 Å = 1.000x10-10 m). Assume the atoms touch each other so that the closest distance between atomic centers (nuclei) is 3.4 Å and the atoms fill the box with MANY layers of Argon atoms.Note: a cubical box needs only one measurement to be defined because each edge of a cube is exactly the same length, l,so that the volume of the box, V = l3.
The shattered glass case at the scene of a jewelry store robbery was determined to be made of potash borosilicate glass, which has a density of 2.162g/mL. A 4.034g glass fragment was recovered from a suspect's clothing. When the fragment was placed into a graduated cylinder filled with water, 1.63mL of the water was displaced. Calculate the density of the glass fragment.
When a mixture of aluminum powder and iron(III) oxide is ignited, it produces molten iron and aluminum oxide. In an experiment, 5.40 g aluminum was mixed with 18.50 g iron(III) oxide. At the end of the reaction, the mixture contained 11.17 g iron, 10.20 g aluminum oxide, and an undetermined amount of unreacted iron(III) oxide. No aluminum was left. What is the mass of the unreacted iron(III) oxide? A)7.33 g B)8.30 g C)2.53 g D)4.80 g E)It is impossible to have those amounts at the end of the reaction.
