Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by calculating the volume of the metal block. The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:

V = w \times l \times h

, where

w

is the width,

l

is the length, and

h

is the height.

Step 2: Substitute the given dimensions into the volume formula:

V = 3.2 \times 17.1 \times 4.3

cm³.

Step 3: Calculate the mass of the metal block in grams. Since the mass is given in kilograms, convert it to grams by multiplying by 1000:

m = 1.1 \times 1000

Step 4: Use the formula for density, which is

D = \frac{m}{V}

, where

m

is the mass and

V

is the volume.

Step 5: Substitute the values for mass and volume into the density formula:

D = \frac{1100}{3.2 \times 17.1 \times 4.3}

Open Question

Liquid nitrogen has a density of 0.808 g/mL and boils at 77 K. Researchers often purchase liquid nitrogen in insulated 175 L tanks. The liquid vaporizes quickly to gaseous nitrogen (which has a density of 1.15 g/L at room temperature and atmospheric pressure) when the liquid is removed from the tank. Suppose that all 175 L of liquid nitrogen in a tank accidentally vaporized in a lab that measured 10.00 m * 10.00 m * 2.50 m. What maximum fraction of the air in the room could be displaced by the gaseous nitrogen?

(b) Because atoms are spherical, they cannot occupy all of the space of the cube. The silver atoms pack in the solid in such a way that 74% of the volume of the solid is actually filled with the silver atoms. Calculate the volume of a single silver atom.
