- be sure your answer is correct and have the correct number of significant digitsarrow_forwardg and a penny has a mass of 2.5 g. A copper atom has a mass of 1.06 x 10 Use this information to answer the questions below. Be sure your answers have the correct number of significant digits. What is the mass of 1 mole of copper atoms? X ? How many moles of copper atoms have a mass equal to the mass of a penny? 0arrow_forwardDefine the terms matter and mass. What is the difference between mass and weight?arrow_forward
- Classify the following mixtures asheterogeneousorhomogeneous. soil mayonnaise Italian salad dressing the wood from which the desk you are studying on is made sand at the beacharrow_forward2.71 Use the web to determine the amount of low-density polyethylene and high-density polyethylene produced annually in the United States. Which uses predominate in the applications of these two materials?arrow_forwardGive an example of each of the following: a heterogeneous mixture a homogeneous mixture an element a compound a physical property or change a chemical property or change a solutionarrow_forward
- A chemist combines 22 grams of sodium with 28 grams of chlorine. A spectacular reaction occurs and produces sodium chloride. After the reaction, the chemist finds that all the chlorine was used up by the reaction, but 4 grams of sodium remained. How many grams of sodium chloride were formed?arrow_forwardThe burning of gasoline in automobile engines is a chemical reaction. In light of the law of conservation of mass, explain what happens to the gasoline in your cars tank as you drive.arrow_forwardCalculate the number of atoms in the universe. The following steps will guide you through this calculation: a. Planets constitute less than 1% of the total mass of the universe and can, therefore, be neglected. Stars make up most of the visible mass of the universe, so we need to determine how many atoms are in a star. Stars are primarily composed of hydrogen atoms and our Sun is an average-sized star. Calculate the number of hydrogen atoms in our Sun given that the radius of the Sun is 7108 m and its density is 1.4g/cm3. The volume of a sphere is given by V=(43)r3 (Hint: Use the volume and the density to get the mass of the Sun.) b. The average galaxy (like our own Milky Way galaxy) contains 11011 stars, and the universe contains 1109 galaxies. Calculate the number of atoms in an average galaxy and finally the number of atoms in the entire universe. c. You can hold 11023 atoms in your hand (five copper pennies constitute 1.41023 copper atoms.) How does this number compare with the number of atoms in the universe?arrow_forward
- This year, like many past years, you begin to feel very sleepy alter eating a large helping of Thanksgiving turkey. Some people attribute this sleepiness to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in turkey. Tryptophan can be used by the body to produce serotonin, which can calm the brains activity and help to bring on sleep. a. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in a 0.25-lb serving of turkey? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 1.0% of the turkey mass.) b. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in 0.25 quart of milk? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 2.0% of milk by mass and that the density of milk is 1.04 kg/L.)arrow_forwardConsider two boxes with the following contents: the first box contains 10 blue paper clips and 10 red paper clips; the second contains the same number of each color of paper clip with the difference that each blue paper clip is interlocked with a red paper clip. Which box has contents that would be an analogy for a mixture, and which box has contents that would be an analogy for a compound?arrow_forwardA red-orange solid contains only mercury and oxygen. Analyses of three different samples gave the following results. Are the data consistent with the hypothesis that the material is a compound?arrow_forward
