Mr. Auric Goldfinger, criminal mastermind, intends to smuggle several tons of gold across international borders by disguising it as lumps of iron ore. He commands his engineer minions to form the gold into little spheres with a diameter of exactly 8 cm and paint them black. However, his chief engineer points out that customs officials will surely notice the unusual weight of the "iron ore" if the balls are made of solid gold (density 19.3 g/cm"). He suggests forming the gold into hollow balls One of the balls of fake instead (see sketch at right), so that the fake "iron ore" has the same density as real iron ore (5.15 g/cm). "iron ore," sliced in half. Calculate the required thickness of the walls of each hollow lump of "iron ore." Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 2 significant digits. ?

Crime scene investigators keep a wide variety of compounds on hand to help with identifying unknown substances they find in the course of their duties. One such investigator, while reorganizing their shelves, has mixed up several small vials and is unsure about the identity of a certain powder. Elemental analysis of the compound reveals that it is 67.31 % carbon, 6.978% hydrogen, 4.617% nitrogen, and 21.10% oxygen by mass. Which of the compounds could the powder be? C17H19NO3C17H19NO3 = morphine, analgesic C17H21NO4C17H21NO4 = cocaine, illicit drug C7H5N3O6C7H5N3O6 = 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), commonly used explosive C10H15NC10H15N = methamphetamine, stimulant C4H5N2OC4H5N2O = caffeine, stimulant C11H15NO2C11H15NO2 = 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), illicit drug C21H23NO5C21H23NO5 = heroin, illicit drug C3H6NO3C3H6NO3 = hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), commonly used explosive
You are given pure serine in powder form, and you are asked to make exactly 20 mL of a 20 μM solution. How much serine powder (in μg) would you need to make such a solution? For this problem, assume that carbon has molar mass of 12 amu, hydrogen 1 amu, nitrogen 14 amu, oxygen 16 amu, and sulfur 32 amu. You must compute the molecular weight of serine after drawing it; do not look up the molecular weight on google. Show your unit conversion fully step by step
Assume that your empty crucible weighs 15.98 g, and the crucible plus the sodium bicarbonate sample weighs 18.56 g. After the first heating, your crucible and contents weighs 17.51 g. After the second heating, your crucible and contents weighs 17.50 g. Answer the following questions based on this information.
Platinum is a precious metal that is used as a catalyst for many important industrial reactions. Platinum can be purified by reacting platinum(IV) bromide solution with aluminium metal. To test this purification process, a student reacted 14.6 kg of aluminium metal with excess platinum(IV) bromide solution. After the reaction was complete, the student had extracted 75.4 kg of platinum metal. From this data, calculate the percent error of this experiment. Hint: Write a balanced chemical reaction equation and calculate the theoretical yield of platinum first. Do not show your work in the space provided. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units. Answer: Evaluate your calculated percent error, is this an acceptable percent error?
