Chapter 1, Problem 66CP
Reaction of 2.0 L of hydrogen gas with 1.0 L of oxygen gas yields 2.0 L of water vapor. All gases are at the same temperature and pressure. Show how these data support the idea that oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule. Must we consider hydrogen to be a diatomic molecule to explain these results?

- Copper: (a) Suppose you have a cube of copper metal that is 0.236 cm on a side with a mass of 0.1206 g. If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 1022 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how many atoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Or conversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there empty space in the lattice? (b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper. Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960 g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unit.arrow_forwardHelium is an inert gas, meaning that it doesn't readily combine with other elements.

Marie Curie was a Polish scientist that specialized in chemistry and physics. She wanted to understand how X-rays worked and noticed in her studies that the element, Uranium, gave off rays that could be measured but did not know what the rays were. She assumed that the rays came from the uranium itself instead of through different molecules interacting with each other. To study the rays, she used an instrument, called an electrometer, that studied the electricity that the rays passed through the air. Through this she was able to discover that the more uranium atoms there were in a compound, the stronger the rays that came off of it. She used this discovery to test other minerals that emitted more rays than Uranium, and discovered the elements Thorium, Polonium and Radium. Through her discoveries of these elements, scientists were able to find the structure of the atom and even how the rays can be used to fight cancer. What was Marie Curie’s observation? 2.

Because atoms are neutral, the existence of a negatively charged particle implied there must be a positively charged component of an atom. Thomson proposed that electrons were small particles held within a positively charged sphere. The negatively charged electron is located outside the nucleus. Rutherford proved the plum-pudding model correct. All of the above statements are true.arrow_forwardLiquid A has 10 grams of element X per liter.

Which one of the following statements is correct? Both balloons have the same volume. Both balloons have the same mass of gas. Both balloons will fall to the ground if released. Both balloons have the same density of gas. Helium balloon will float in air if released, but the neon Neon balloon will fall to the ground.arrow_forwardRecognizing the intersection of scientific properties and ideas with the world around you is a key component of this course. By choosing a specific element to discuss, you will begin to understand how all substances are composed of elements that work together to form the world around us. Using the periodic table in Chapter 8 of your textbook, pick your favorite element. Describe this element's properties (i.e. atomic weight, atomic number, metal/non-metal, etc.). In addition to using your textbook, use reliable internet sources to research an interesting fact about this element. Use all of this information to explain why this is your favorite element. Cite your source(s) in APA format.arrow_forwardHydrogen and Oxygen can form water (H2O). Both elements can form one compound. Beside water, both elements can form Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2).
