A scientist had a mixture of water and a liquid called benzene. The mixture had a weight of 5.5 ounces. The scientist used a special process called distillation to separate the water and the benzene into two separate containers. The weight of the water alone was 4.3 ounces. This data is summarized in the table below.Weight MeasurementsBefore Separation After SeparationWeight of Water and Benzene Weight of Water Weight of Benzene5.5 ounces 4.3 ounces not measuredWhat should the scientist expect the weight of the benzene alone to be?

Solution

The weight of the benzene alone can be calculated by subtracting the weight of the water from the total weight of the mixture.

So, the calculation would be:

5.5 ounces (total weight of mixture) - 4.3 ounces (weight of water) = 1.2 ounces

Therefore, the scientist should expect the weight of the benzene alone to be 1.2 ounces. So, the correct answer is C. 1.2 ounces.

Two students separated a mixture of oil and water by carefully pouring the oil off the top of the mixture into another container. They used a balance to measure the weight of the mixture before it was separated. After the students had separated the mixture, they measured the weights of the water and the oil by themselves. Their data is shown in the table below.Weight MeasurementsBefore Separation After SeparationWeight of Oil and Water(ounces) Weight of Oil(ounces) Weight of Water(ounces)16.8 7.6 9.2What conclusion best fits the data? A. The weight of the mixture is less than the combined weights of the oil and water. B. The weight of the mixture is not related to the separate weights of the oil and water. C. The weight of the mixture is equal to the combined weights of the oil and water. D. The weight of the mixture is greater than the combined weights of the oil and water.
