Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.36QP
You are teaching a class of second graders some chemistry, and they are confused about an object’s mass versus its density. Keeping in mind that most second graders don’t understand fractions, how would you explain these two ideas and illustrate how they differ? What examples would you use as a part of your explanation?

Students have asked these similar questions
In a dry test tube, put enough cane sugar to make a layer about 1⁄4 inch deep. heat the tube in the flame while holding a cool inverted beaker near the mouth of the test tube.
Observations:
What is collected in the beaker?
Where did this come from?
What are the elements present in this substance?
What is left behind in the test tube?
What element is it?
What elements therefore are present in combination in sugar?
Which statement about temperature is TRUE?
A small block of aluminum sitting in a beaker of boiling water for several hours will have a different
temperature than the boiling water.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
Temperature moves from colder objects to hotter objects.
A cup of boiling water and a bucket of boiling water will have different temperatures because they
have different volumes.
Unfermented grape juice used to make wine is called a “must.” The sugar content of the must determines whether the wine will be dry or sweet. The sugar content is found by measuring the density of the must. If the density is lower than 1.070 g/mL, then sugar syrup is added until thedensity reaches 1.075 g/mL. Suppose that you have a sample taken from a must whose mass is 47.28 g and whose volume is 44.60 mL. Describe how you would determine whether or not sugar syrup needs to be added and if so, how would you estimate how much sugar syrup to add?

- In Section 1.3 the statement is made that it is worthwhile for scientists, auto mechanics, doctors, politicians, and poets to take a scientific approach to their professions. Discuss how each of these people could use a scientific approach in his or her profession.arrow_forwardIn the following scenario, identify which of the statements represents a theory, law, or hypothesis. (a) A student exploring the properties of gases proposes that is she decreases the volume of a sample of gas then the pressure exerted by the sample will increase (b) Many scientists over time have conducted similar experiments and have concluded that pressure and volume are inversely proportional. (c) She proposes that the reason this occurs is that if the volume is decreased, more molecules will collide with a given area of the container walls, causing the pressure to be greater.arrow_forwardConsider two boxes with the following contents: the first box contains 10 blue paper clips and 10 red paper clips; the second contains the same number of each color of paper clip with the difference that each blue paper clip is interlocked with a red paper clip.

- ¡n a sample of a gaseous substance, more than 99% of the overall volume of the sample is empty space. How is this fact reflected in the properties of a gaseous substance compared with the properties of a liquid or solid substance?arrow_forwardWhat properties distinguish solids from liquids? Liquids from gases? Solids from gases?arrow_forwardOn October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forward
- In the accompanying photo, you see a crystal of the mineral calcite surrounded by piles of calcium and carbon, two of the elements that combine to make the mineral. (The other element combined in calcite is oxygen.) Based on the photo, describe some of the physical properties of the elements and the mineral. Are any properties the same? Are any properties different? Calcite (the transparent, cube-like crystal) and two of its constituent elements, calcium (chips) and carbon (black grains). The calcium chips are covered with a thin film of calcium oxide.arrow_forwardAbout two centuries ago, Benjamin Franklin showed that 1teaspoon of oil would cover about 0.5 acre of still water. If you know that 1.0 x 104 m2= 2.47 acres and that there is approximately 5 cm3 in a teaspoon, what is the thickness of the 0.5-acre layer of oil? How might this thickness be related to the sizes of molecules?arrow_forwardA solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C. The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen.
