In an experiment, students were given an unknown mineral. The unknown mineral was placed in 150 ml of water. Once in the water, the volume went up to 165 ml. Then when the same object was dried, then massed on a balance. It had a mass of 225 grams. What is the density of the unknown mineral? Note: You only have to fill in the numerical answer.

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

But from the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 165 - 150 = 15 mL

We have

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
