States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

You can identify a metal by carefully determining its density. A 55.5 g piece of an unknown metal is 2.79 cm long, 2.41 cm wide, and 1.05 cm thick. What is the identity of the element? Zirconium, 6.51 g/cm3 Palladium, 12.0 g/cm3 Iron, 7.87 g/cm3 Lead, 11.3 g/cm3 Iridium, 22.4 g/cm3
1. In the olden days, US minted pennies were pure copper, but copper got so expensive that a pure copper penny was worth more than I cent. Modern pennies are composed of zinc and coated with copper. A student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g. After making several scratches in a penny, the student puts the penny into hydrochloric acid, where the zinc (but not the copper) reacts with hydrochloric acid via a single replacement reaction. The hydrogen is collected at 25°C over water. The collected gas occupies 0.899 L at a total pressure of 791 mm Hg. A. Calculate the moles of hydrogen produced in the reaction. (Hint: Use the Table 1. to determine the vapor pressure of water and assume that all of the zinc in the penny dissolves.) B. Write a balanced chemical reaction for zinc and hydrochloric acid. C. Use stoichiometry to calculate the mass of zinc in the penny. D. Determine the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny.
