in the opening scene of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones tries to remove a gold idol from a booby-trapped pedestal. He replaces a gold (D = 19.32 g/cm³) idol of dimensions 5.0 inches by 5.0 inches by 5.0 inches with a bag of sand of approximately double the volume with sand (D = 3.65 g/cm³). Is the bag of sand really equal to the gold idol or will Dr. Jones set off the trap? Explain your answer and include a mathematical explanation. ML Cm3

The noble gas argon was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsay and John William Strutt in England in 1895. Through this discovery, they made highly accurate measurements of gas densities. Their experimentally determined densities are: Oxygen 1.42952 g/L Nitrogen 1.25718 g/L Air 1.29327 g/L 1) To determine the density of atmospheric nitrogen, Strutt removed the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and argon from air and then filled an evacuated glass tube with the remaining gas. He determined that a mass of 0.20389 g of nitrogen has a density of 1.25718 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the volume of the glass tube in cm3?
A chemist prepares a solution of aluminum sulfite = (Al2(SO3)3) by measuring out 56.8 µmol of aluminum sulfite into a 100. mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the chemist's aluminum sulfite solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 6 mol 0 × 10 X L C X
Lithium metal has an atomic radius of 152 pm. The molar mass of lithium is 6.94 g/mol and Avogadro`s constant NA is 6.023 x 1023 /mol. What is the density of lithium metal in g/cm3?
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 ?

Assuming you start with 1.25 g of pure aluminum, calculate the following: 1) The amount of potassium hydroxide, KOH, in grams, needed to react with all of the 1.25 g of Al. The reaction is: 2 A1 (s) + 2КОН (аq) + 6 Н20 (1) 2 K (аq) + 2 AI(ОН)4 (аq) + 3 Н2 (в) g 2) The amount of KOH needed, in grams, in reaction 1 if you want to have 10% excess KOH. g 3) The amount of water, in milliliters, that will react with the Al and KOH in reaction 1. mL 4) The amount, in milliliters, of 9 M sulfuric acid needed for reaction 2. 2 Al(OH)4 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) → 2 Al(OH); (s) + SO,²- (aq) + 2 H2O (1) mL 5) The amount, in milliliters, of 9 M sulfuric acid needed for reaction 3. 2 Al(OH)3 (s) + 3 H;SO4 (aq) → 2 Al³+ (aq) +3 SO,²- (aq) + 6 H2O (1) mL
You have a mole of ping pong balls and want to ship them to a near-by town. You have packing boxes that measure 24 inches by 24 inches by 18 inches. How many boxes do you need to pack up all the ping pong balls? The radius of a ping pong ball is 20 mm. If you make any approximations or assumptions, please list them.
During an accident, the air bag inflates due to the decomposition reaction of sodium azide (NaN3). When heated, solid sodium azide reacts by itself to form solid sodium and nitrogen gas as products. What mass of sodium azide do you need to produce 200. L of nitrogen gas. The density of nitrogen gas is 1.2056 g/L.

Suppose now that you wanted to determine the density of a small crystal to confirm that it is sulfur. From the literature, you know that sulfur has a density of 2.07 g/cm³. How would you prepare 20.0 mL of the liquid mixture having that density from pure samples of CHCI3 (d = 1.492 g/mL) and CHBR3 (d= 2.890 g/mL)? (Note: 1 mL 1 cm³) V(CHCI3) = mL V(CHB13) = mL
Coal is a leading source of energy for the world. While coal is primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen, a small amount of sulfur is also present. This leads to the production of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) through the following reaction: S(s)+O2(g)→SO2(g) A sample of coal was found to contain 1.35% sulfur by mass. If 1,250 kg of this coal were burned, what mass of sulfur dioxide could theoretically be formed (in kg)?
