OWLV2 FOR MOORE/STANITSKI'S CHEMISTRY:
- The element bromine is Br2, so the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the mass of its two atoms. Bromine has two isotopes. The mass spectrum of Br2 produces three peaks with relative masses of 157.836, 159.834, and 161.832, and relative heights of 6.337, 12.499. and 6.164, respectively. (a) What isotopes of bromine are present in each of the three peaks? (b) What is the mass of each bromine isotope? (c) What is the average atomic mass of bromine? (d) What is the abundance of each of the two bromine isotopes?arrow_forwardThe density of gold, Au, is 19.32 g/cm3. What is the volume (in cubic centimeters) of a piece of gold that contains 2.6 × 1024 atoms?arrow_forwardThe mass spectrum of phosphoryl chloride. POF3, is illustrated here. (a) Identify the cation fragment at a m/Z ratio of 85. (b) Identify the cation fragment at a m/Z ratio of 69. (c) Which two peaks in the mass spectrum provide evidence that the oxygen atom is connected to the phosphorus atom and is not connected to any of the three fluorine atoms?arrow_forward
- Which postulate of Dalton’s theory is consistent with the following observation concerning the weights of reactants and products? When loo grams of solid calcium carbonate is heated, 44 grams of carbon dioxide and 56 grams of calcium oxide are produced.arrow_forwardThe atomic mass of boron (B) is given in the periodic table as 10.81, yet no single atom of boron has a mass of 10.81 u. Explain.arrow_forwardWhat are the live most abundant elements (by mass) in the earth’s crust, oceans, and atmosphere?arrow_forward
- There are 2.619 1022 atoms in 1.000 g of sodium. Assume that sodium atoms are spheres of radius 1.86 and that they are lined up side by side. How many miles in length is the line of sodium atoms?arrow_forwardA sample of metallic element X, weighing 3.177 g, combines with 0.6015 L of O2 gas (at normal pressure and 20.0C) to form the metal oxide with the formula XO. If the density of O2 gas under these conditions is 1.330 g/L, what is the mass of this oxygen? The atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999 amu. What is the atomic weight of X? What is the identity of X?arrow_forwardElemental sulfur (1.256 g) is combined with fluorine, to give a compound with the formula SFx, a very stable, colorless gas. If you have isolated 5.722 g of SFx, what is the value of x?arrow_forward
- 3.80 Which one of the following metal samples cannot possibly exist? not? (a) a piece of gold foil 10-6 m thick (b) 5 mg of platinum (c) 10-24 mol of aluminum (d) a copper wire 0.1 mm in diameterarrow_forwardThe mass spectrum of CH3Cl is illustrated here. You know that carbon has two stable isotopes, and 13C with relative abundances of 98.9% and 1.1%, respectively, and chlorine has two isotopes, 35a and 37CI with abundances of 75.77% and 24.23%, respectively. (a) What molecular species gives rise to the lines at m/Z of 50 and 52? Why is the line at 52 about 1/3 the height of the line at 50? (b) What species might be responsible for the line at m/Z = 51?arrow_forwardA cube of sodium has length 1.25 in. How many atoms are in that cube? (Note: dNa=0.968 g/cm3.)arrow_forward
