Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
If
Concept Introduction:
Buoyancy:
It explains the floating nature of a substance in a fluid based on the densities of the substance and the fluid in which it is placed.
If a substance with low density is placed in a fluid of more density, then the substance floats in that fluid.
If a substance with high density is placed in a fluid of low density, then the substance sinks in that fluid.
(b)
Interpretation:
If
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
If the test tube that contains bromobenzene, water and benzene is thoroughly shaken, and allowed to stand for five minutes, how will be the appearance of the tube has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- Table salt from the beaker on the left in the photograph is added to water, forming the solution on the right of the photo. If you want to separate the mixture, would the distillation apparatus in figure 2-16 or the filtration apparatus in figure 2-17 be the better choice? Explain.arrow_forwardDensity of an aqueous solution of nitric acid is 1.43 g/mL. If this solutioin contained 36.0% nitric acid by mass, what volume of solution would be needed to supply 1.50 mmol of nitric acid?arrow_forward1.) In the Dumas method for determining the molar mass of an unknown volatile liquid, a sample of a volatile liquid that boils below 100 oC is vaporized in a boiling water bath and the mass of the vapor required to fill the flask is determined. The following data was collected: Flask Volume 100.0 +100.0 + 79.6 mL = 279.6 mL Mass of Flask + Cap 143.85 g Mass of Flask + Condensed Liquid 144.95 g Mass of Condensed Liquid 1.10 g Temperature of Water Bath (oC) 84.1 oC Barometric Pressure (atm) 0.985 atm a.) What is the molar mass of the unknown? b.) What will its temperature be when the pressure is 1.20 atm and the volume is 250.0 mL?arrow_forward
- Explain the importance of using a thermometer in the simple distillation setup.arrow_forwardArchimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)arrow_forwardSuppose 25.4 grams of NaCl was added to 400 mL of water. The resulting solution was again diluted with water 1:100 with water. What is the final concentration of the NaCl in μM? The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44.arrow_forward
- Give an example of a mixture in which solute is solid and solvent is liquid.arrow_forwardYou are given a hammer a battery, a bulb, wires and switch(a) How could you use them to distinguish between samples of metals and non metals?(b) Assess the usefulness of these tests to distinguish between metals and non-metalsarrow_forward35. An effervescent tablet has the follow- ing formula: Acetaminophen Calcium Carbonate 325 mg 280 mg 900 mg Citric Acid Potassium Bicarbonate 300 mg Sodium Bicarbonate 465 mg (a) Calculate the total weight, in grams, of the ingredients in each tablet. (b) How many tablets could be made with a supply of 5 kg of acetamin- ophen? hlearrow_forward
- Pipet (1.0x10^1) mL of a sample solution into a 250.00 mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with distilled water. Then, pipet 2 mL of this diluted solution into a 50.00 mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with distilled water. What is the dilution factor of the final solution? (Note: keep one decimal in your answer.)arrow_forward(b) Now suppose you measure 15.00 mL of the Methyl Orange stock solution using a 250-mL Class B graduated cylinder, then you add deionized water up to the 100.0 mL line. What is the concentration uncertainty of the diluted solution in mg/L?arrow_forward5 Water is evaporated from the magnesium chloride solution. The resulting solid is melted at 700°C and decomposed by passing electric current through it. (a) What is the name of the physical change that occurs first in the magnesium chloride? (b) Write the balanced chemical equation for this step. (c) Identify the type of chemical reaction.arrow_forward
