- Gold leaf, which is used for many decorative purposes, is made by hammering pure gold into very thin sheets. Assuming that a sheet of gold leaf is 1.27 105 cm thick, how many square feet of gold leaf could be obtained from 28.35 g gold? The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference in surface area between two circles, one of radius 7.98 cm, the other of radius 8.50 cm? The surface area of a circle of radius r is r2. Obtain the result to the correct number of significant figures.arrow_forwardWhen a mixture of aluminum powder and iron(III) oxide is ignited, it produces molten iron and aluminum oxide. In an experiment, 5.40 g of aluminum was mixed with 18.50 g of iron(III) oxide. At the end of the reaction, the mixture contained 11.17 g of iron, 10.20 g of aluminum oxide, and an undetermined amount of unreacted iron(III) oxide. No aluminum was left. What is the mass of the iron(III) oxide?arrow_forward
- Convert the following Celsius temperatures to Kelvin and to Fahrenheit degrees. a. the temperature of someone with a fever, 39.2C b. a cold wintery day, 25C c. the lowest possible temperature, 273C d. the melting-point temperature of sodium chloride, 801Carrow_forwardThe volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)Bh where B is the area of the square base and h is the height. One student's measurements of a pyramid are B=1.33m2 h=2.79 m. Another student's measurements of the same pyramid are B=1.31m2, h=2.81 m. What is the difference in the volumes of the pyramid calculated by the two students?arrow_forwardAlthough the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?arrow_forward
- The active ingredient of aspirin tablets is acetylsalicylic acid, which, has a density of 1.4 g/cm3. In a lab class, a student used paper chromatography to isolate another common ingredient of headache remedies. The isolated sample had a mass of 0.384 g and a volume of 0.32 cm3. Given the data in the following table, what was the other ingredient in the headache remedy?

Calculate the difference in temperature, in C. between these two planets. 6. For a material to float on the surface of the water, the material must have a density less than that of water (1.0 g/mL) and must not react with the water or dissolve in it. A spherical ball has a radius of 0.50 cm and weighs 2.0 g. Will this ball float or sink when placed in water? (Note: Volume of a sphere r .) 7. a)Using examples, explain the difference between a physical property and a chemical property. b) Do the following statements describe chemical or physical properties?

What is the volume occupied by 1.20 x10^3 g of lithium?arrow_forwardBud N. Chemist must determine the density of a mineral sample. His five trials yield densities of 5.15 g/cm3, 4.83 g/cm3, 5.08 g/cm3, 4.97 g/cm3, 5.12 g/cm3. Independent studies found the correct density to be 5.06 g/cm3. Which of the following is incorrect? a. The mean of his analysis is 5.03 g/cm3 indicating an error of 0.03 g/cm3 from the correct density B.His data has a standard deviation of 0.017 g/cm3 C.His data has a relative standard deviation of 2.60% D. He can report his analyzed density as 5.0±0.2 g/cm3 at a 95% confidence level E. The true value (population mean) is found within the confidence interval of Bud’s workarrow_forward
