Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.

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.
