PRINT NAME________________________________ CASE STUDY 3 This is the worksheet that you must submit as a group. The group leader should submit the document for the group. If they are unable to, they must find someone in the group to do that instead. Please remember to keep a log of meeting times with your group and submit this as one document in one of these file formats doc, docx, PDF. Meeting Log Meeting Date Duration Platform used WebEx/Zoom Members Present (Please print last and first name) Case Study 3: A Curious Mission: An Analysis of Martian Molecules Due Friday February 11, 2022, by 1:00 p.m. on Canvas site 1. (3) Refer to the background reading you have been given about the conditions of Mars. Use that information to identify the atoms or molecules that correspond to the seven peaks identified in Figure 1. List each of the atoms or molecules in increasing order of weight and give their chemical formula and molecular weight as shown in Fig 1. Atom/Molecule Chemical Formula Atomic/Molecular Mass Da Water H2O 18.01528 g/mol Carbon Monoxide CO 28.0101 g/mol Nitrogen N2 28 or 14.0067 g/mol Nitric Oxide NO 30
PRINT NAME________________________________ CASE STUDY 3 Oxygen O 32 or 15.9994 g/mol Argon Ar 40 or 39.948 g/mol Carbon Dioxide CO2 44.0095 g/mol 2. (3) Draw the Lewis structure of each of the molecules only you identified in the sample of Martian atmosphere. Use your knowledge of electronegativity to determine whether the bonds that will be formed between the atoms of each molecule are polar or nonpolar and identify the polarity of each molecule. Molecular Formula Lewis Structure Polarity H2O Polar CO Polar N2 Nonpolar NO Polar O Nonpolar
PRINT NAME________________________________ CASE STUDY 3 CO2 Nonpolar 3. (2) Based on the atomic content of the molecules you identified in the Mars atmospheric sample, predict whether the following amino acids that exist on Earth could be produced. Use your textbook or outside resources to identify the elements present in each of the molecules listed below . List the molecules in the Martian atmosphere that contain the necessary atoms to build them, or if you predict that they could not be constructed, list the atoms that are missing from what you found in the atmospheric molecules. Molecules on Earth Elements needed to build these molecules Ability to be produced on Mars (Yes/No) If Yes, molecules present on Mars that contain the atoms needed If No, elements missing on Mars to produce the molecules Cysteine Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur No Sulfur Glycine Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen Yes Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
