This is not really "earth science", but I need help and I didn't see my correct subject.
Type your question. Welcome to OpenStudy!
Hello and thank you. I have this study guide to do and for some reason I do not understand any of it. can you help walk me through it or something?
I don't want the answers I just wanna know what to do. . .Thank you for any help. . .
Do you have a specific question about it?
Not really. I don't understand any of it, but I knw you probably won't go over all of it so can you go over question 1 in part a, b and c?
Calculate density when given a means to determine a substance’s mass and volume.
Density=Mass/Volume
A student determines that a piece of an unknown material has a mass of 5.854 g and a volume of 7.57 cm3. What is the density of the material?
Since you already have the mass and volume you are solving for the density.
d=m/v d=5.854g/7.57cm3
so the answer to that is 0.7733 to the 3rd power?
The answer is 0.7733 g/cm3
This is not to the third power. cm3 is a unit meaning centimetres cubed
Do you understand?
ah ok. I was wondering what to do with grams and cenimeters.
So you understand now.
yes
In science lab you are given a rectangular shaped solid made from some synthetic (manmade) substance. Its dimensions are 3.5 cm by 2.4 cm by 14.6 cm. If this substance masses 20 g, what is its density in g/cm3? (DA)
Tell me what you get for this one.
d=m/v
Are you stuck?
I'm kinda slow when it comes to math. I'm not stuck yet just working slow. . . -_-
k :-)
3.5 x 2.4 x 14.6 = 122.64 This is your volume. The mass is listed as 20g.
ok answer is 6.132 g/cm3
From there divide 122.64 by 20. The answer should be: 6.132g/cm^3
That's right! Are you ready to move on?
yes!
b. Predict formulas for stable binary ionic compounds based on balance of charges.
1. Find the charge for each element based on what group it is in. (Group 1= +1 charge)
Do you know what elements this question is talking about?
It starts with an H if I remember but I don't remember if it was helium or somthing elese...-_-
it wasn't helium I don;t think. I will look it up
H is Hydrogen.
For this question you will need the Periodic Table.
ah ok I knew it wasn't helium
ok I have one pulled up
Does the Hydrogen have a + or - sign next to it.
neither I am looking at several different periodic tables and none of them have either. where on the table is it suppose to be at ?
ah wait ok. The question says (1= +1) so Hydrogen must be + since there is only a 1 beside it, but with that being said, why is there no negetives on the periodic table if possitives exist???
