Interpretation: The elements which are most abundant by mass in the earth’s crust oceans and atmosphere needs to be determined. Also, the four most abundant elements by mass in the human body needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In the Long form of periodic table, the non-metals are mainly placed at the right side of the periodic table that is called as p-block elements.
Metals make the 75 % part of the periodic table. Metals are electropositive elements and mainly form ionic compound whereas non-metals are electronegative elements and can form either covalent or ionic compounds.
The vertical columns of the periodic table are called as groups and the horizontal rows are called as periods. The complete table contains 18 groups and 7 period.

- To obtain pure lead, lead (II) sulfide is burned in an atmosphere of pure oxygen. The products of thereaction are lead and sulfur trioxide (SO3). Write a balanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forwardWrite the following equations for Al2(SO4)3(aq) and Pb(NO3)2(aq). Include the states of matter in the reactions.arrow_forward5.) Which of the following statements CORRECTLY describes why oxygen is more abundant on earth's crust than nitrogen? XOY. Both of these substances are gases, which were held loosely by the weak gravity of earth during its early formation. XLY. Oxygen is a reactive gas that formed gaseous oxides of nitrogen, carbon, sulfur. XKY. Nitrogen gas is not formed during the big bang nucleosynthesis. XNY. High melting metal oxides were formed when oxygen reacts with the metal, then present on earth.arrow_forward

Include phase symbols.arrow_forwardWhat mass of ilmenite (in grams) is required if you wish to obtain 650 g of titanium?arrow_forwardIn 1774, C. Scheele obtained a gas by reacting pyrolusite (MnO2) with sulfuric acid. The gas, which had been obtained that same year by Joseph Priestley by a different method, was an element, A. (a) What is the element isolated by Scheele and Priestley? (b) Element A combines with almost all other elements. For example, with cesium it gives a compound in which the mass percent of A is 19.39%. The element combines with hydrogen to give a compound with a mass percent of element A of 94.12%. Determine the formulas of the cesium and hydrogen compounds. (c) The compounds of cesium and hydrogen with element A react with one another. Write a balanced equation for the reaction.arrow_forward
