Show work plzzz Unknown Metal Bar #8
Mass of Unknown Metal bar 11.3g
Length of bar 13.90cm
Width of bar 2.9cm
Thickness of bar 0.081cm

1. Calculate the volume of the bar:

2. Calculate the (experimental) density of the bar:

3. Based on the provided list of (true) densities, what is the possible identity of the Unknown metal?

4. What is the percent difference between the true density of your metal and the calculated density?
= | − | ∗ 100%

1. 3.3 cm³; 2. 3.5 g/cm³; 3. barium; 4. 4%

Explanation:

Experimental data:

Mass          = 11.3    g

Length      = 13.90 cm

Width        =  2.9    cm

Thickness = 0.081 cm

Calculations:

1. Volume of bar

V = lwh = 13.90 cm × 2.9 cm × 0.081 cm = 3.3 cm³

2. Experimental density

3. Identity of metal

The three most likely metals are scandium (3.00 g/cm³), barium (3.59 g/cm³), and yttrium (4.47 g/cm³)

The metal is probably barium.

4. Percent difference

distance, luminosity, brightness, radius, chemical composition, and temperature

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
