A glass cylinder contains four liquid layers: mercury (d = 13.6 g/mL), chloroform (d = 1.49 g/mL), water (d = 1.00 g/mL), and ether (d = 0.708 g/mL). If a marble (d=2.7 g/mL) is dropped into the cylinder, where does it come to rest? A) on top of the ether layer B) on top of the water layer C) on top of the chloroform layer D) on top of the mercury layer E) on the bottom of the cylinder

-1 A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 9.0 g·L The geochemist also measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes, and finds an average concentration of 5.3 g·L *. Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. x10

A sunscreen preparation contains 2.50% by mass benzyl salicylate (2.50g benzyl salicylate/100g sunscreen). If a tube contains 4.00 ounces of sunscreen, how many kilograms of benzyl salicylate are needed to manufacture 325 tubes of sunscreen? (16 oz = 1 lb; 454g = 1 lb).
The concentration of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) in the blood is sometimes used as a screening test for possible prostate cancer in men. The value is normally reported as the number of nanograms of PSA per milliliter of blood. A PSA concentration of 1.7 ng/mL1.7 ng/mL is considered low. Express that value in terms of the units shown. PSA= g/L PSA= kg/m3 PSA= mg/L

Caffeine occurs naturally in tea leaves and coffee beans. Pure caffeine (mp 236°C) is a white crystalline solid material at room temperature. It is classified as an alkaloid - a nitrogen-containing basic compound that is obtained from plants and has physiological effects in the body. A student pulverizes 8.78 grams (g) of coffee beans into a finely ground powder by using a mortar and pestle. The caffeine is then extracted into 300 mL of boiling dichloromethane (CH2CI2) by the same solid- liquid extraction technique used in Unit 1. After 30 minutes, the solution is filtered hot to remove a large amount of brown insoluble material. Dichloromethane is removed from the filtrate via rotary evaporation, leaving 916.3 milligrams (mg) of caffeine behind, as a white solid. What is the percentage of isolated caffeine with respect to the starting amount of crude coffee beans? caffeine

To measure the blood Ca2+ concentration of a patient’s sample, 5.00 mL of blood was diluted to a total volume of 250.00 mL. A 10.00 mL portion of the diluted blood was further mixed with 40.00 mL of calcium dye solution and the final concentration of Ca2+ was determined to be 4.52 μM in the final solution. What’s the blood Ca2+ concentration for this patient? (Assume that volumes are additive)
