Textbook Question
Chapter E, Problem 109E
For each box, examine the blocks attached to the balances. Based on their positions and sizes, determine which block is more dense (the dark block or the lighter-colored block), or if the relative densities cannot be determined. (Think carefully about the information being shown.)

Which statement about a volumetric flask is correct?
Each volumetric flask has several calibration marks (on the neck of the flask), so measuring of several volumes is possible.
A volumetric flask is used when a graduated cylinder is not available.
Each flask only measures one particular volume.
A graduated cylinder measures volume more precisely and accurately than a volumetric flask.
5. Given your experience in mass determinations and with volumetric glassware, which factor used
- mass or volume - is likely to be measurable with greater precision?
in calculating the density
Explain.

If a sample of gold alloy has a mass of 87.7 g and is 78.3% gold by mass, what percentage of the alloy is made up of other metals? Write your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
(I had to alter the wording of this question since it wasn't calculating significant figures properly, so if you got it wrong because of significant figures you can assume you probably actually got it correct.)

- Which of the following represent physical properties or changes, and which represent chemical properties or changes? You curl your hair with a curling iron. You curl your hair by getting a “permanent wave” at the hair salon. Ice on your sidewalk melts when you put salt on it. A glass of water evaporates overnight when it is left on the bedside table. Your steak chars if the skillet is too hot. Alcohol feels cool when it is spilled on the skin. Alcohol ignites when a flame is brought near it. Baking powder causes biscuits to rise.arrow_forwardUnfermented 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?arrow_forwardCalculating the density of a rectangular wooden block (fig 3).

A Roosevelt Type dime (1946 to 1964), designed by John R Sinnockis, is composed of 90.0% silver and 10.0% copper. The composition changed when the dime cost more in silver than it was worth. A 1963 dime is weighed on ten different balances, and the mass is recorded.
