Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.

If you put exactly 1 cup (or 237 ml) of distilled water into a 2 cup measuring cup. Place two level tsps of table salt in the measuring cup. Mixed it thoroughly. Remember that 1 tsp of table salt weighs 4.0 grams. The density of the water at room temperature is 1.0 g/ml then if you used 237 ml of water (1 cup) than that is 237 grams of water. using the formula for mass percent (m/m) = (mass of solute (g)/ mass of solute + mass of solvent) x 100%, calculate the mass percent of your solution. show your calculations
5) King Krator the Merciless has called on Pogo, a humble goldsmith, to make a crown for theKing. He gives Pogo exactly 14 oz of pure gold to fashion the crown and tells him that if hecheats the King, he will pay with his life ! Pogo leaves with the gold; he and his apprenticesspend two weeks in making the crown; finally he returns to the court. When Pogo returns withthe crown, King Krator finds that the crown weighs 397.25 grams, and has a volume of20.58cm3. King Krator asks the court wizard for the density of gold, and Wizard tells the Kingthat gold has a density of 19.3 times that of an equal volume of spring rain. Krator demands aslate, makes a few calculations, then sternly lifts his head to stare at Pogo. Does Pogo's headroll ?
