What is this value in meters and in centimeters? m cm (b) The mass of a single nickel atom is 9.75×1023 g. Suppose enough Ni atoms were lined up like beads on a string to span a distance of 31.3 cm (12 inches). How many atoms would be required? atoms What mass in grams of Ni would be used? Could you weigh out this amount of nickel using a typical laboratory balance? (c) Taking the density of nickel metal to be 8.91 g/cm, calculate the mass of metal needed to form a piece of Ni wire with the same length as the distance in b, but with a diameter of 1.00 mm. Hint: The volume of a cylinder is n times its radius squared times its height. (V =nr h) How many nickel atoms does this represent? atoms

The compound 2,3−dimercaptopropanol (HSCH2CHSHCH2OH), commonly known as British anti-Lewisite (BAL), was developed during World War I as an antidote to arsenic-containing poison gas. (a) If each BAL molecule binds one arsenic (As) atom, how many As atoms can be removed by 3.6 g of BAL? Enter your answer in scientific notation. (b) BAL can also be used to remove poisonous heavy metals like mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb). If each BAL binds one Hg atom, calculate the mass percent of Hg in a BAL-Hg complex. (An H atom is removed when a BAL molecule binds an Hg atom.)mass %
