Chapter 1: Problem 14

You have a \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) sample of lead and a \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) sample of glass. You drop each in separate beakers of water. How do the volumes of water displaced by each sample compare? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Both the \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) sample of lead and the \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) sample of glass displace the same volume of water (\(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\)) when submerged, according to Archimedes' principle. This is because the volume of water displaced is only dependent on the volume of the object and not on the object's material.

Step by step solution

01

Recall Archimedes' principle

Archimedes' principle states that the volume of fluid displaced by an object submerged in the fluid is equal to the volume of the object. This means if we submerge a \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) object in water, it will displace exactly \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) of water.
02

Calculate the volume of water displaced by the lead sample

Since the volume of the lead sample is \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\), according to Archimedes' principle, it will displace exactly \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) of water.
03

Calculate the volume of water displaced by the glass sample

Similarly, since the volume of the glass sample is also \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\), according to Archimedes' principle, it will displace exactly \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) of water.
04

Compare the volumes of water displaced

Now that we know the lead and the glass samples each displace \(1.0-\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) of water, we can conclude that the volumes of water displaced by each sample are equal. Since the volume displaced is only dependent on the volume of the object and not on the object's material, it doesn't matter that the objects are made of different materials.

A \(25.00-\mathrm{g}\) sample of a solid is placed in a graduated cylinder and then the cylinder is filled to the \(50.0-\mathrm{mL}\) mark with benzene. The mass of benzene and solid together is \(58.80 \mathrm{~g}\). Assuming that the solid is insoluble in benzene and that the density of benzene is \(0.880 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\), calculate the density of the solid.

You go to a convenience store to buy candy and find the owner to be rather odd. He allows you to buy pieces in multiples of four, and to buy four, you need \(\$ 0.23 .\) He only allows you to do this by using 3 pennies and 2 dimes. You have a bunch of pennies and dimes, and instead of counting them, you decide to weigh them. You have \(636.3 \mathrm{~g}\) of pennies, and each penny weighs \(3.03 \mathrm{~g}\). Each dime weighs \(2.29 \mathrm{~g}\). Each piece of candy weighs \(10.23 \mathrm{~g}\). a. How many pennies do you have? b. How many dimes do you need to buy as much candy as possible? c. How much should all these dimes weigh? d. How many pieces of candy could you buy? (number of dimes from part b) e. How much would this candy weigh? f. How many pieces of candy could you buy with twice as many dimes?
