Answer:
1.67g/cm3
Explanation:
The formula for density is 
. The m variable stands for mass and the v variable stands for volume.
The mass of the brown sugar is 10.0g and the volume is 6.0cm3, so we can plug those values into the equation.
Rounded to 3 significant figures, the density of the block of brown sugar is 1.67 g/cm3. If the mass is in grams and the volume is in cm3, the unit for the final answer is (grams per centimetres cubed).
Answer:
Wide melting point range - impure sample with multiple compounds
Experimental melting point is close to literature value - pure sample of a single compound
Experimental melting point is below literature value - impure sample with multiple compounds
Narrow melting point range - pure sample of a single compound
Explanation:
The melting point of substances are easily obtainable from literature such as the CRC Handbook of Physics and Chemistry.
A single pure substance is always observed to melt within a narrow temperature range. This melting temperature is always very close to the melting point recorded in literature for the pure compound.
However, an impure sample with multiple compounds will melt over a wide temperature range. We also have to recall that impurities lower the melting point of a pure substance. Hence, the experimental melting point of an impure sample with multiple compounds is always below the literature value.
Answer:
Na₂₆F₁₁
Explanation:
We find the moles of the substance assuming 100 g of the substance is present. Why do we take 100 g? Because then the percent of sodium/fluorine, would be the g of sodium/fluorine respectively:
74.186 g Sodium | 1 mol Sodium/23 g => 3.2255 mol Na
25.814 g Fluorine | 1 mol Fluorine/19 g => 1.3586 mol F
Divide each by smallest number of moles:
3.2255/1.3586 = 2.37
1.3586/1.3586 = 1
Multiply by common number to get a smallest whole number:
2.37*11 = 26,
1*11 = 11
The empirical formula is Na₂₆F₁₁
