The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.
Which of these statements are qualitative? Which are quantitative? Explain your choice in each case. (a) Sodium is a silvery-white metal. (b) Aluminum melts at 660 C. (c) Carbon makes up about 23% of the human body by mass. (d) Pure carbon occurs in different forms: graphite, diamond, and fullerenes.
One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq) 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO3),(a9) The chemist adds 56.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 2.8 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample.

The sulfide ore of zinc (ZnS) is reduced to elemental zinc by “roasting” it (heating it in air) to give ZnO, and then heating the ZnO with carbon monoxide. The two reactions can be written as ZnS +3/2 O2 → ZnO + SO2 ZnO + CO → Zn + CO2Suppose 5.32 kg ZnS is treated in this way and 3.30 kg pure Zn is obtained. Calculate the theoretical yield of zinc and its actual percentage yield.

Imagine that you are the CEO of a mining company. Your employees were able to excavate 2 ores, labelled A and B, respectively, with both weighing 25 kg each. Analysis of 1.500 g of ore A yielded 0.500 g of iron metal, while the analysis of 1.200 g of ore B yielded 0.400 g of iron metal. Which between the two ores do you think should be sold at a higher price, and why? A A, because it yielded more grams of iron metal B) B, because it contains less grams of iron metal A and B, because they contain the same amount of iron Not enough information given
