Astudent has two substances at a lab table. one substance is iron pyrite (fool's gold) and the other is real gold. after placing a 20.0-gram sample of iron pyrite into 40.0 ml of water in a graduated cylinder, it displaces 4.0 ml of water. the density of real gold is almost 4 times larger than iron pyrite. if a 20.0-gram sample of real gold is placed into the same amount of water, approximately how much water will be displaced? a) 1 ml b) 4 ml c) 16 ml d) 20 ml

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

the formula mass of a molecule or a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula

(that's what i know about formula mass)
