If you put an object that weighs 8 grams on one side of a balance scale, you would have to put about 20 paper clips on the other side to balance the weight. How many paper clips would balance the weight of a 10-gram object?

You're basically saying that 8 grams is equivalent to 20 paper clips.

Therefore 10 grams would be equivalent to (10/8) x 20 = 25 paper clips.

Or alternatively you could say 20 paper clips weigh 8 grams, so each paper clip weighs (8/20) = 0.4 grams. Therefore if you increase the weight of the object from 8 gram to 10 gram, thats an increase of 2 grams which means adding (2/0.4) = 5 more clips.

If one gram of water has a volume of one milliliter, what would the mass of one liter of water be in kilograms?

$1$ $"millilitre"$ of water has a mass of $1*g$. And $1*cancelLxx10^3*cancel(mL)*cancel(L^-1)xx1*g*cancel(mL^-1)$ $=$ $1000*g$ $=$ $1*kg$.

Amaterial weighs 8 grams and takes up 2 cubic centimeters of space. What is the material's density in grams per cubic centimeter ($g/(cm^3)$)?

$"Density"$ $=$ $"mass"/"volume"$ $=$ $(8*g)/(2*cm^3)$ $=$ $4*g*cm^-3$ When we put the units into these sorts of calculations, it is an extra check on our accuracy. We try to calculate a...

Potassium is a very flammable metal if it comes in to contact with water. As it burns with the water it creates potassium hydroxide ($KOH$) If you separate the potassium out from 50 grams of $KOH$, how many grams of potassium would you have?

$"Moles of potassium hydroxide"$ $=$ $(50*g)/(56.11*g*mol^-1)$ $"Mass of potassium metal"$ $=$ $(50*g)/(56.11*g*mol^-1)xx39.10*g*mol^-1$ $~=$ $??g$

In the reaction: $A + B -> C$, if 4.2 grams of A react to make 6.8 grams of C, then how many grams of B were reacted?

We can use the Law of Conservation of Mass to solve the problem. $underbrace("A")_color(red)("4.2 g") + underbrace("B")_color(red)(x) → underbrace("C")_color(red)("6.8 g")$ $"4.2 g"color(white)(l) + x = "6.8 g"$ $x = "6.8...

A sample of dolomitic limestone containing only $CaCO_3$ and $MgCO_3$ was analyzed. When a 0.2800 gram sample of this limestone was decomposed by heating, 75.0 mL of $CO_2$ at 750 mmHG and 20°C were evolved. How many grams of $CO_2$ were produced?

We use the Ideal Gas equation to access the moles of carbon dioxide evolved: $n=(PV)/(RT)$ $=$ $((750*mm*Hg)/(760*mm*Hg*atm^-1)xx75.0xx10^-3*L)/(0.0821*L*atm*K^-1*mol^-1xx293*K)$ $=3.1xx10^-3mol$. $"Mass of carbon dioxide produced"=3.1xx10^-3molxx44.0*g*mol^-1=??g$ The key to doing this problem was...
