When a liquid or a gas occupies a volume, it may be assumed to fill the volume completely. On the other hand, when solid particles occupy a volume, there are always spaces (voids) among the particles. The porosity or void fraction of a bed of particles is the ratio (void volume)/(total bed volume). The bulk density of the solids is the ratio (mass of solids)/(total bed volume), and the absolute density of the solids has the usual definition (mass of solids)/(volume of solids). Suppose 600.0 g of a crushed ore is placed in a graduated cylinder, filling it to the 184 cm3 level. One hundred cm3 of water is then added to the cylinder, whereupon the water level is observed to be at the 233:5 cm3 mark. Calculate the porosity of the dry particle bed, the bulk density of the ore in this bed, and the absolute density of the ore

An engineering team designs a new rocket that is faster and lighter than any other model being produced. however, the materials end up being so expensive that no company can afford to buy them. which step of the engineering process should have addressed this problem? a. know the background. b. evaluate the results. c. identify a need. d. do the work.

When the following equation is balanced using the smallest possible integers, what is the coefficent of oxygen gas? c7h16o(g) + o2(g) → co2(g) + h2o(g) -1 -5 -8 -16 -21

Consider three unlabeled bottles, each contain small pieces of one of the following metals. - magnesium - sodium - silver the following reagents are used for identifying the metals. - pure water - a solution of 1.0 molar hcl - a solution of concentrated hno3 (a) which metal can be easily identified because it is much softer than the other two? describe a chemical test that distinguishes this metal from the other two, using only one of the reagents above. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) one of the other two metals reacts readily with the hcl solution. identify the metal and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when this metal is added to the hcl solution. use the table of standard reduction potentials (attached) to account for the fact that this metal reacts with hcl while the other does not. (c) the one remaining metal reacts with the concentrated hno3 solution. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (d) the solution obtained in (c) is diluted and a few drops of 1 m hcl is added. describe what would be observed. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs.
