Chapter 1, Problem 78QAP
A student determines the density of a metal by taking two cylinders of equal mass and volume. Cylinder A is filled with mercury and the metal. The mercury and metal together have a mass of 92.60 g. Cylinder B is filled only with mercury. The mass of the mercury in cylinder B is 52.6 g more than the mass of mercury and metal in cylinder A. What is the density of the metal? The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3.

- At 25 C the density of water is 0.997 g/mL, whereas the density of ice at 10 C is 0.917 g/mL. (a) If a plastic soft-drink bottle (volume = 250 mL) is completely filled with pure water, capped, and then frozen at 10 C, what volume will the solid occupy? (b) What will the bottle look like when you take it out of the freezer?arrow_forwardAn experimenter places a piece of a solid metal weighing 255 g into a graduated cylinder, which she then fills with liquid mercury. After weighing the cylinder and its contents, she removes the solid metal and fills the cylinder with mercury. She now finds that the cylinder and its contents weigh 101 g less than before. The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3. What is the density of the solid metal?arrow_forwardThe total length of all the DNA molecules contained in a human body is 1 1010 miles.

What is this depth in meters? Note that 1 fathom = 6ft, 1 ft = 12 in., and 1 in. = 2.54 102 m. (These relations are exact.)arrow_forward1.88 Legend has it that Archimedes, a famous scientist of Ancient Greece, was once commanded by the king to determine if a crown he received was pure gold or a gold—silver alloy. He was not allowed, however, to damage the crown (by slicing off a piece, for example). If you were assigned this same task, what would you need to know about both gold and silver, and how would you make a measurement that would tell you if the crown was pure gold?arrow_forward
