- At 25 C, the density of water is 0.997 g/cm3, whereas the density of ice at 10 C is 0.917 g/cm3. (a) If a soft-drink can (volume = 250. mL) is filled completely with pure water at 25 C and then frozen at - 10 C, what volume does the ice occupy? (b) Can the ice be contained within the can?arrow_forwardWhich part of the description of a compound or element refers to its physical properties and which to its chemical properties? (a) Calcium carbonate is a white solid with a density of 2.71 g/cm3. It reacts readily with an acid to produce gaseous carbon dioxide. (b) Gray, powdered zinc metal reacts with purple iodine to give a white compoundarrow_forwardCopper:(a) Suppose you have a cube of copper metal that is 0.236 cm on a side with a mass of0.1206 g. If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 ×10–22 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how manyatoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Orconversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there “empty” space in thelattice?(b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper.Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unitarrow_forward
- (a) Three spheres of equal size are composed of aluminum1density = 2.70 g>cm32, silver 1density = 10.49 g>cm32,and nickel 1density = 8.90 g>cm32. List the spheres fromlightest to heaviest. (b) Three cubes of equal mass arecomposed of gold 1density = 19.32 g>cm32, plat inum1density = 21.45 g>cm32, and lead 1density = 11.35 g>cm32.List the cubes from smallest to largest. [Section 1.5]arrow_forwardA student finds that 24.96 g of water at 24.9 C(density=0.9971 g/cm3) is required to completly fill an empty flask. The water is removed and completely dried; granular solid copper weighing 51.24g is then added to the flask. With the copper present in the flask, it was determined that 19.24 g of water was required to fill the remaining space in the flask completly 1.) volume of the empty flask 2.) volume of the copper 3.) density of the copperarrow_forwardsmoke particles in air typically have masses of the order of 10^-16 kg. The rapid, irregular motions of these particles caused by collisions with air molecules can be observed with a microscope. Assume a particular type of smoke particle has a mass of 3.00 x10^-16 kg and is in a room with a temperature of 300 K. a) if instead you were considering a hydrogen gas molecule (m= 3.34x10^-26 kg) at 300 K, would the average translational kinetic energy be larger than, smaller than or equal to that of the smoke particle? b) would the rms speed of the hydrogen atom be larger than, smaller than, or equal to that of the smoke particle?arrow_forward
- Note: In the calculations below. consider all distances to be measured between the centers of the spheres. From a study of the right triangles involved in a cube, as illustrated below, where (a) is the edge length. (f) is the face diagonal, and (b) is the body diagonal, the following is apparent: b b²=f²+ a² f² = a² + a² b²=3a2 In calculating the volumes, not that only one-eighth of each of the corner spheres is inside the cube which has as its corners the centers of the spheres. The volume of a sphere may be calculated from its radius by using the formula: V = 4/3лг³ 1arrow_forwardGiven the measurement of 7.00 L, (a) what is the accuracy of this measurement? (b) what is the precision of this measurement?arrow_forward6. An empty Erlenmeyer flask weighs 241.3 g. When filled with water (d = 1.00 g/cm³), the flask and its contents weigh 489.1 g. (a) What is the volume of the flask? (b) How much does the flask weigh when filled with chloroform (d = 1.48 g/cm³)?arrow_forward
- Water has a density of 0.96 mL-1 at its boiling point of 100 C under standard atmospheric pressure. The density of water vapor is about 1600 times less than the density of water under the same conditions. If a 1.00 L beaker of water was converted into water vapor at 100 C under standard atmospheric pressure, what would the volume (in L) of the water vapor be?arrow_forwardWhen an object with an electric charge of 3.0μC is 7.0cm from an object with an electric charge of 3.0μC, the force between them has a strength of 16.51N Calculate the strength of the force between the two objects if they are 14.cm apart. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.arrow_forward(a) A cube of osmium metal 1.500 cm on a side has a mass of76.31 g at 25 °C.
