AI Thread Summary
An unknown liquid with a mass of 26.366g and a volume of 25.24 mL is being analyzed to identify its substance among trichlorobenzene, acetone, and chloride based on density. Calculating the density yields a result that suggests the liquid is likely acetone. For the second part of the question, if the substance were water with a density of 0.9982 g/mL, the new volume needs to be determined using the formula V = m/d. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly applying the density formula and clarifying units. Ultimately, the participants seek confirmation on their calculations and understanding of density.

HELP! 1 Density-volume question!??URGENT!

Homework Statement


1.An unknown liquid has a mass of 26.366g and volume of 25.24 x10^-3 liters at 25'C.
Identify the likely substance from the following information.

Substance tricholorobenzene (density:1.454g/mL)
acetone (density: 1.049g/mL)
chloride( denisty: .8862g/mL)

2. If the substance had been water with a density of .9982g/mL at 25'C, what would be its new volume?

Homework Equations



g/mL

The Attempt at a Solution


1.26.366g/(25.24ml) => acetone
2. i have no idea...g/mL density .9982g/mL

Please HELP!
 
Physics news on Phys.org


What is density definition?
 


g/mL =density =mass/volume? intensive physical property!
please help!
 


Right.

d = \frac m V

You are given mass, you are given density - solve for V.

is the answer for 1 acetone?
is the answer for 2 25.19ml?

I know the formula already;;;;g/ML

1 - yes, 2 - no.

I know the formula already;;;;g/ML

That's not the formula. That's - at best - density unit.

Slow down. Solve for V. Write it using symbols that I have used earlier.

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
