Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the graph the value of m and b in the equation y = mx + b is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The scope of the measurement depends upon the context and event. Measurement is commonly used as an international system of unit as a comparison framework. Two variables such as mass (m) and volume (V) can be described as directly proportional one on other by the expression m α V. Besides, the term density is given by the mass of the given substance per unit volume. Moreover, slope is the ratio of the change in the value of ‘y’ with respect to change in the value of ‘x’.
(b)
Interpretation:
The proportional relationship between x and y is to be stated.

- After sitting on a shelf for a while, a can of soda at a room temperature (69°F) is placed inside a refrigerator and slowly cools. The temperature of the refrigerator is 37°F. Newton's Law of Cooling explains that the temperature of the can of soda will decrease proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the can of soda and the temperature of the refrigerator, as given by the formula below: T = Ta + (To – Ta)e¬kt the temperature surrounding the object To = the initial temperature of the object t = the time in minutes the temperature of the object after t minutes k = decay constant T The can of soda reaches the temperature of 54°F after 40 minutes. Using this information, find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the can of soda, to the nearest degree, after 95 minutes. Enter only the final temperature into the input box.arrow_forwardThe thermostat shows that the room temperature is 21.7°C. Convert 21.7°C to Kelvin and Fahrenheit units. Be sure to answer all parts.

If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 ×10–22 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how manyatoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Orconversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there “empty” space in thelattice?(b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper.Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unitarrow_forward
