The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in part by doing a famous experiment in 1775. In experiment Lavoisier found that mercury(II) oxide, when heated, decomposed into liquid mercury and an invisible and previously unknown substance: oxygen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid mercury(II) oxide (HgO) into liquid mercury and gaseous dioxygen. Ox10 ? 2. Suppose 75.0 mL of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 80.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of mercury(II) oxide that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane (C5H₁2) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. 2. Suppose 0.440 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 18.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. ローロ X 00 0°

Soda ash (sodium carbonate) is widely used in the manufacture of glass. Prior to the environmental movement much of it was produced by the following reaction. CaCO3 + 2 NaCl → Na2CO3 + CaCl2 Unfortunately, the byproduct calcium chloride is of little use and was dumped into rivers, creating a pollution problem. As a result of the environmental movement, all of these plants closed. Assume that 125g of calcium carbonate (100.09 g/mol) and 125 g of sodium chloride (58.44 g/mol) are allowed to react. Determine how many grams of useful sodium carbonate (105.99 g/mol) will be produced. How many grams of useless calcium chloride (110.98 g/mol) will be produced? You should also determine how many grams of excess reactants are left (indicate which one is the limiting reactant)
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 250.mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3 (aq) + 3AgNO3 (aq) → 3AgCl (s) + FeNO33 (aq)The chemist adds 86.0m M silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 7.5mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

10 Ethylene (CH,CH,) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 × 10º kg of polyethylene are made from ethylene each year, for use in everything from household plumbing to artificial joints. Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH,CH,) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas. Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 60.0 L reaction tank with 22.0 atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 500. °C. She believes K =0.050 at this temperature. Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of K , and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what she actually observes. %
