A group of students were trying to experimentally determine the density of an unknown liquid. They developed a standard technique for measuring density by recording the mass of a liquid using an analytical balance. The volume of the liquids were accurately measured using a serological pipette and was recorded to be 5.00 mL for each trial. The students were able to collect the following data: Trial 1 (mass in grams) LIQUID Trial 2 (mass in Trial 3 (mass in Theoretical SAMPLE grams) grams) Density Hexane 3.281 3.284 3.279 0.655 g/mL Acetone 3.921 3.923 3.947 0.784 g/mL Ethanol 3.912 3.911 3.913 0.789 g/ml unknown 3.914 3.911 3.910

How many mg of iron (MM = 55.845 g/mol) are in 15.00 mL of a solution that contains 2.130 mg Fe/liter? Report your answer to the correct number of significant figures in standard notation (i.e.- not scientific notation). Omit the units
A student dissolves a Jefferson nickel to make 100.00 mL of solution in a volumetric flask. The student takes a 5.00 mL aliquot of the first solution and dilutes it to make 100.00 mL of a second solution. The student places a sample of the second solution in a cuvette for analysis using spectrophotometry. The molarity of the copper solution in the cuvette was determined by spectrophotometric analysis to be 2.90 x 10-2 M Cu. Calculate the mass of copper in the Jefferson nickel used to make the first solution. Use the diagram to help visualize the dilution process. WE IN GOD TRUST 100 mL LIBERTY 200 5 mL 100 mL cuvette
1. Several students performed this experiment without paying adequate attention to the details of the procedure. Briefly explain what effect each of the following procedural hanges would have on the size of the volume- to- temperature ratio calculated by the students. (a) One student failed to replenish the boiling water in the boiling- water bath as the flask was being heated. At the end of the 6 min of heating, the boiling water in the bath was only in contact with the lower portion of the flask. (b) Following the proper heating of the flask in the boiling water, a student removed the flask from the boiling- water bath but only partially immersed the flask in the ice-water bath during the cooling period. (c) A student neglected to close the pinch clamp before removing the flask from the boiling water bath and immersing it in the ice-water bath. (d) One student neglected to measure the volume of the flask before leaving the laboratory. Because the procedure called for a 125-mL…
A biochemist carefully measures the molarity of salt in 34. mL of photobacterium cell growth medium to be 30. mM. Unfortunately, a careless graduate student forgets to cover the container of growth medium and a substantial amount of the solvent evaporates. The volume of the cell growth medium falls to 2.2 mL. Calculate the new molarity of salt in the photobacterium cell growth medium. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. O mM
Measurement and Matter Adding or subtracting and multiplying or dividing measurements 1/3 B A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide. 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: 7.2 g . She put some solid sodium hydroxide into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the sodium hydroxide added, the cylinder weighed 63.517 g. . She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the sodium hydroxide completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 91.0 mL. What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. g-mL G
A forensic chemist prepares a standard of caffeine in chloroform for use in a quantitative assay. The caffeine is purchased from a reputable supply company and arrives with a certificate stating that it is 99.5% pure or better (written 99.5% + or + 99.5%). The analyst needs to make a stock solution at a concentration near 1 mg/mL. To do so, she obtains a Class A 50.00 mL volumetric flask (± 0.05 mL) and uses an analytical balance to accurately weight out 49.6 mg. The balance uncertainty is listed as ± 0.0003 g near the 50 mg range. The analyst quantitatively transfers the powder to the flask and carefully dilutes the solution to volume. Report the concentration of the solution in mg/mL and the propagated uncertainty associated with it. Use the NUSAP form to report your answer with the proper number of significant figures in the final result. You get to pick which “assessment” is presented.

Blood alcohol content is a measure of alcohol in the blood as a percentage. It is calculated in grams per 100 mL of blood, so a BAC of 0.08 means your blood is 0.08% alcohol by volume. what is the total mass of alcohol (in grams) that is present for the same adult male whose total blood volume is 5.6L?

Can someone please help me calculate the density of this problem using the picket fence method? I have to calculate the density of 0.20L of a solution that weighs 145.8 g. The answer must be in g/mL and i cannot use the density formula it can only be used with the picket fence. I know the answer is 0.729 but I cannot figure it out using the picket fence.
You have a stock solution certified by a manufacturer to contain 245.0 ± 0.4 µg SOź¯/mL. You would like to dilute it by a factor of 100 to obtain 2.450 µg/mL. Two possible methods of dilution are stated. For each method, calculate the resulting absolute uncertainty in concentration. Use the manufacturer's tolerances in the table for uncertainties.
