(a)
Interpretation:
Whether a balloon filled with the given gas would rise in the air or drop to the ground is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The density is defined as the ratio of mass of a body to its volume. For solid bodies densities are usually expressed in the units of grams per cubic centimeter, for liquids in the units of grams per milliliter and for gases in units of grams per liter.

- In 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_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_forward60. When tin comes in contact with the oxygen in the air, tin(IV) oxide, SnO2, is formed. Sn(s) + O2(g) SNO2(s) A piece of tin foil, 8.25 cm × 21.5 cm × 0.600 mm (d = 7.28 g/cm³), is exposed to oxygen. (a) Assuming that all the tin has reacted, what is the mass of the oxidized tin foil? (b) Air is about 21% oxygen by volume (d = 1.309 g/L at 25°C, 1 atm). How many liters of air are required to completely react with the tin foil? |Darrow_forward
- The mass of an iron nail is measured before and after being placed in a beaker of water for 2 days. It is found that 0.059 g of iron (3) oxide (rust) was produced over the 2-day period. What mass of iron in the nail reacted with the water? Assume the nail is pure ironarrow_forward5. Density is an important property of the matter, answer the following: (b) Select (1) or (2) to complete the following statement: Density is a property of matter.

- (a) Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas becauseit binds very strongly to the oxygen carrier hemoglobinin blood. A concentration of 8.00 Ă— 102 ppm by volumeof carbon monoxide is considered lethal to humans.Calculate the volume in liters occupied by carbonmonoxide in a room that measures 17.6 m long,8.80 m wide, and 2.64 m high at this concentration.arrow_forwardFor each of the following cases, state whether the density of the object increases, decreases, or remains the same:(a) A sample of chlorine gas is compressed.(b) A lead weight is carried up a high mountain.(c) A sample of water is frozen.(d) An iron bar is cooled.(e) A diamond is submerged in water.arrow_forwardAn empty vial weighs 55.32 g. (a) If the vial weighs 185.56 gwhen filled with liquid mercury (d=13.53 g/cmÂł), what is itsvolume? (b) How much would the vial weigh if it were filledwith water (d=0.997 g/cmÂł at 25C)?arrow_forward
- Methanol (CH3OH) is a liquid at room temperature with a density of 7.91 x102 kg/m³. In a certain experiment, from the reaction of 2.91 mL of methanol with 2.88 g of oxygen, 2.27 g of carbon dioxide was obtained.
