A laboratory utilizes a mixture of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the freezing and long-term storage of embryonic stem cells. If DMSO has a specific gravity of 1.1004, calculate the specific gravity, to four decimal places, of the mixture (assume water to be the 90% portion).

The correct answer is "1.0100".

Explanation:

Let the volume of mixture be 100 ml.

then,

The volume of DMSO will be 10 mL as well as that of water will be 90 mL.

DMSO will be:

=

=

The total mass of mixture will be:

=

=

Density of mixture will be:

=

=

=

hence,

Specific gravity of mixture will be:

=

=

=

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
