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.
Classify each of the following properties of the metal magnesium as a physical property or a chemical property. a. Silvery-white in color b. Does not react with cold water c. Melts at 651C d. Finely divided form burns in oxygen with a dazzling white flame
Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Thus, the mass of the products of a chemical reaction must be equal to the mass of the starting materials. Formally, this concept is called the law of conservation of mass. When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 16.8 g g of carbon were burned in the presence of 59.1 g of oxygen, 14.3 g of oxygen remained unreacted. What mass of carbon dioxide was produced?
Mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. The substances are formed together but no new substance is formed. A mixture can be of any form. It may be solid, liquid or in gaseous form. Mixtures can be classified according to their appearance. Uniform mixtures or Homogenous Mixtures have substances that cannot be recognized because solutes completely dissolve in the solvent while Nonuniform or heterogeneous mixtures have components which can be identified easily. EXPERIMENT: Forming Mixtures A. Materials: Three glasses, water, teaspoon, flour, food color/soy sauce, cooking oil, pebbles/small stones B. Procedure: 1. Half-fill the four glasses with water. 2. Put the food color/soy sauce in one glass. Stir. Label it as "Set A. 3. Put a teaspoon of flour in the second glass. Stir. Label it as "Set B". 4. Put a teaspoon of cooking oil in the third glass. Stir. Label it as "Set C". 5. Put the pebbles/small stones and the flour in a plate or petri dish…
During a filtration or distillation experiment, we separate a mixture into its individual components. Do the chemical identities of the components of the mixture change during such a process? Explain.
Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Thus, the mass of the products of a chemical reaction must be equal to the mass of the starting materials. Formally, this concept is called the law of conservation of mass. A sample of sodium reacts completely with 0.426 kg k g of chlorine, forming 702 g g of sodium chloride. What mass of sodium reacted?
There are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample. You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change. Each sketch is drawn as if the sample were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Also, you should assume that you can see the entire sample, and that the sample is in a sealed box, so that no matter can enter or leave. Sample of Substance X Change 1 Change 1 is O impossible O O a chemical change a physical change Change 2 Change 2 is: impossible O a physical change O a chemical change Change 3 000 000 Change 3 is: O impossible O a physical change O a chemical change X
In heavy water, each of the hydrogen atoms is replaced by a deuterium atom. If the density of ordinary water at a given temperature is 1.000 g/cm3, what is the density of heavy water? Assume that the average distance between the molecules is the same in both cases.
For each of the changes, decide whether two or more elements formed a compound or If a compound decomposed (to elements or other compounds). Explain your reasoning in each case. a) upon heating, a blue powder turned white and lost mass b) A white soil forms three different gasses when heated. The total mass of the gases is the same as that the solid.
Write the balanced chemical equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when an aqueous solution of hydrobromic acid (HBr) is mixed with an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide (LIOH). Indicate the physical states of the reactants and products using the abbreviations (s), (1), (g), or (aq) for solids, liquids, gases, or aqueous solutions, respectively.
