11.

What is the density of an object that has a mass of 13.5 g and a volume of 7.2 mL? Use the formula: D=M/V

a)

55 g/mL

b)

3.9 g/mL

c)

1.9 g/mL

12.

A sample of an ideal gas has a volume of 14.2 L at a pressure of 1.2 atm. If the gas pressure is increased to 1.8 atm, what is the new volume? This problem uses Boyle's law:

P1V1= P2V2 pressure 1 X volume 1 = pressure 2 X volume 2

All the variables are known except for V2, so the equation needs to be rearranged to solve for the one unknown. We can do this by dividing both sides by P2

a)

V2= 9.5L

b)

V2= 13.7L

c)

V2= 29.2L

d)

V2= 2.1L

13.

c)

466 x 105

d)

4.66 x 107
