Interpretation:
The amount of lead (in kg) that is emitted from a car travels 10000 miles in a year. The average speed of car is 25 miles/ gallon and 1 gallon contains 2.0 g of lead.
Concept Introduction:
Conversion factors are the fractions which show the conversion of one unit to another. Dimension analysis method is used with conversion factors to change the units of given values. Different units' systems like metric and U.S systems are used to represents different units of measure values and also can convert into each other with the help of dimension analysis. The equality indicates the direct relation between two units whereas conversion factors is always written as fraction in which one unit will come as numerator and other as denominator.

- Calculate the mass of hydrogen in 1.00 kg of ammonia borane. The density of ammonia borane is 0.780 g/cm3.arrow_forward5 g of anhydrous strontium nitrate is added to a beaker and exposed to the air. After several hours the beaker and the contents are weighed. It was found that the mass increased by 1.70 g. Assume that the increase in mass is totally due to the absorption of water by the anhydrous compound. What is the percentage of water in the hydrated sample?arrow_forwardHydrazine, N2H4, can be used as fuel to orient and maneuver spacecraft. The energy used to do so is obtained by reacting the hydrazine with dinitrogen tetroxide to form nitrogen gas and water vapor. Write and balance the chemical equation for this reaction.The spy satellite US-193 had 453 kg of hydrazine on board when it was destroyed. What mass of dinitrogen tetroxide would have had to be on board in order to completely react with the hydrazine? This reaction is a redox reaction. Assign oxidation states to each atom in the reaction,identify what is oxidized, what is reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. Answer in full please.arrow_forward
- A sample of a gaseous binary compound of boron and chlorine weighing 2.842 g occupies 0.153 L. This sample is decomposed to give 0.664 g solid boron and enough gaseous chlorine (Cl2) to occupy 0.688 L at the same temperature and pressure. Determine the number of atoms of boron and the number of atoms of chlorine in a molecule of this compound.arrow_forwardWhen 5.00 g of sulfur is combined with 5.00 g of oxygen, 10.00 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is formed. What mass of oxygen would be required to convert 3.00 g of sulfur into sulfur trioxide (SO3)?arrow_forwardHydrogen fluoride is used in the manufacture of Freons (which destroy ozone in the stratosphere) and in the production of aluminum metal. It is prepared by the reaction: __CaF2 + __ H2SO4 → __CaSO4 + __ HF. In one batch, 500 g of CaF2 was made to react with 250 g of H2SO4 . Atomic weights: Ca=40, F=19, H=1, S=32, O=16 How many grams of CaF2 can be produced from 250 g of H2SO4 (final answers should be in 3 significant figures)?arrow_forward
- Ammonium perchlorate (NH4CIO4) is the solid rocket fuel that was used by the U.S. Space Shuttle and is used in the Space Launch System (SLS) of the Artemis rocket. It reacts with itself to produce nitrogen gas (N₂), chlorine gas (C1₂), oxygen gas (0₂), water (H₂O), and a great deal of energy. What mass of oxygen gas is produced by the reaction of 6.3 g of ammonium perchlorate? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.arrow_forwardAmmonium perchlorate (NH4C104) is the solid rocket fuel that was used by the U.S. Space Shuttle and is used in the Space Launch System (SLS) of the Artemis rocket. It reacts with itself to produce nitrogen gas (N₂), chlorine gas (C1₂), oxygen gas (0₂), water (H₂O), and a great deal of energy. What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 7.3 g of ammonium perchlorate? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. x10 Xarrow_forwardthe number of copper atoms in a 3.0g lump of copper is 2.8x1022 .how many electrons present in the sample ? and how do they contribute to its mass?arrow_forward
- Write the following equations for Al2(SO4)3(aq) and Pb(NO3)2(aq). Include the states of matter in the reactions.arrow_forwardIf you eat metallic sodium or inhale a large dose of chlorine gas, you stand a strong chance of dying. Let these two elements react with each other, however, and you can safely sprinkle the compound on your popcorn for better taste.
