Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Hexane, perfluorohexane and water are immiscible liquids and when placed in a graduated cylinder along with pieces of high-density polyethylene, polyvinylchloride and Teflon which are not dissolving in the given liquids, what can be seen in the cylinder has to be given.
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.

- The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardA soft drink contains an unknown mass of citric acid, C3H5O(COOH)3. It requires 6.42 mL of 9.580 × 10−2-M NaOH to neutralize the citric acid in 10.0 mL of the soft drink. C3H5O(COOH)3(aq) + 3 NaOH(aq) → Na3C3H5O(COO)3(aq) + 3 H2O(ℓ) Determine which step in these calculations for the mass of citric acid in 1 mL soft drink is incorrect? Why? n (NaOH) = (6.42 mL)(1L/1000 mL)(9.580 × 10−2 mol/L) n (citric acid) = (6.15 × 10−4 mol NaOH) × (3 mol citric acid/1 mol NaOH) m (citric acid in sample) = (1.85 × 10−3 mol citric acid) × (192.12 g/mol citric acid) m (citric acid in 1 mL soft drink) = (0.354 g citric acid)/(10 mL soft drink) Determine the correct result.arrow_forwardWithout consulting your textbook, list and explain the main postulates of the kinetic molecular theory for gases. How do these postulates help us account for the following bulk properties of a gas: the pressure of the gas and why the pressure of the gas increases with increased temperature; the fact that a gas tills its entire container; and the fact that the volume of a given sample of gas increases as its temperature is increased.arrow_forward
- For the analysis of unknown soda and vinegar samples, 25.0 mL soda and 1.0 mL vinegar samples were diluted to 50.0 mL in separate Erlenmeyer flasks. KHP, 0.85 g, (Purity = 99.98%; Molar mass = 204.22 g/mol) was titrated with 11.5 mL of NaOH. After the standardization step, it required 0.0143 L of NaOH to reach the endpoint with the soda sample while it took 0.00885 L with the vinegar sample. Phenolphthalein was used as the indicator for the experiment. Express all answers in 2 significant figures. a. Determine the concentration of the titrant (NaOH) b. Determine the concentration of the unknown vinegar sample. c. Determine the concentration of the unknown soda sample.arrow_forwardThe average concentration of dissolved gold in earth's oceans is 5.8 x 10^−9 g/L. of ocean water.How many micrograms of gold are in 1.1x10^3 m^3 of ocean water?

Choose one or more: a) 10.0 g of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, H2C6H6O6) is dissolved in enough water to prepare 125 ml of solution. The molar concentration of this component in the solution is 4.54 x 10-3 mol/L. b) 50.0 ml of an aqueous solution of potassium nitrate, KNO3, 0.134 mol/L is diluted by adding a quantity sufficient to increase its volume to 225 ml. The new concentration will be 2.98 x 10-2 mol/L. c) In the case of a solution prepared by dissociating 1 g of table salt and 1 g of sugar in 100 g of water, we consider water as a solute and salt and sugar as a solvent. d) From the empirical formula we can calculate the relative amount of elements present, that is, the percentage composition of the substance. e) The structural formula of a substance not only gives the number of each type of atom in the molecule, but also shows how they are linked together inside the molecule.arrow_forward

- A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 25.·gL−1 . The geochemist also measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes, and finds an average concentration of 4.2·gL−1 . Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated.
