Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- Which compound of calcium is used for swimming pool water and sewage treatment? (A) Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (B) Calcium hypochlorite, Ca(OCl)2 (C) Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (D) Calcium oxide, CaOarrow_forwardGive the chemical formula for (a) chlorite ion, (b) chlorideion, (c) chlorate ion, (d) perchlorate ion, (e) hypochlorite ion.arrow_forwardA gaseous binary compound has a vapor density that is 1.94 times that of oxygen at the same temperature and pressure. When 1.39 g of the gas is burned in an excess of oxygen, 1.21 g water is formed, removing all the hydrogen originally present.(a) Estimate the molecular mass of the gaseous compound.(b) How many hydrogen atoms are there in a molecule ofthe compound?(c) What is the maximum possible value of the atomicmass of the second element in the compound?(d) Are other values possible for the atomic mass of thesecond element? Use a table of atomic masses to identify the element that best fits the data.(e) What is the molecular formula of the compound?arrow_forward
- The following diagram represents a chemical reaction in which the red spheres are oxygen atoms and the blue spheres are nitrogen atoms. (a) Write the chemical formulas for the reactants and products. (b) Write a balanced equation for the reaction. (c) Is the diagram consistent with the law of conservation of mass?arrow_forwardWhich of the following generally occurs in nature as an atomic element and not a molecular element? (a)Iodine (b) Hydrogen (c) Argon (d)Fluorine (e) Nitrogenarrow_forwardWrite a chemical formula for a compound that containstwo chlorine atoms to every one oxygen atom. (a) Cl2O(b) ClO2(c) 2ClO(d) Cl(O2)2arrow_forward
- Which of the following chemical formulas are NOT written correctly? (a) F3P (b)NH4+ (c) Fe(NO3)2 (d) H2S (e) All of these are written correctlyarrow_forward(a) Atoms are very small compared to objects on the macroscopic scale. The radius of a nickel atom is 125 pm. What is this value in meters and in centimeters? cm -23 (b) The mass of a single nickel atom is 9.75×10 g. Suppose enough Ni atoms were lined up like beads on a string to span a distance of 31.3 cm (12 inches). How many atoms would be required? atoms What mass in grams of Ni would be used? Could you weigh out this amount of nickel using a typical laboratory balance? (c) Taking the density of nickel metal to be 8.91 g/cm, calculate the mass of metal needed to form a piece of Ni wire with the same length as the distance in b, but with a diameter of 1.00 mm. Hint: The volume of a cylinder is n times its radius squared times its height. (V = nr h) How many nickel atoms does this represent? atomsarrow_forwardMany important fertilizers are ionic compounds thatcontain the elements nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium because these are frequently the limiting plantgrowth nutrients in soil.(a) Write the chemical formulas for the following chemical fertilizers: ammonium phosphate, potassiumnitrate, ammonium sulfate.(b) Calculate the mass percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for each of the compounds inpart (a).arrow_forward
- v. Answer true or false. (a) Mendeleev discovered that, when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weight, certain sets of properties recur periodically. (b) Main-group elements are those in the columns 3A to 8A of the Periodic Table. (e) Nonmetals are found at the top of the Periodic Table, metalloids in the middle, and metals at the bottom. (d) Among the 116 known elements, there are approximately equal numbers of metals and nonmetals. (e) A horizontal row in the Periodic Table is called a group. () The Group 1A elements are called the "alkali metals." (g) The alkali metals react with water to give hydrogen gas and a metal hydroxide, MOH, where “M" is the metal. (h) The halogens are Group 7A elements. (1) The boiling points of noble gases (Group 8A elements) increase in going from top to bottom of the column.arrow_forwardIn 1961, scientists agreed that the atomic mass unit (amu)would be defined as the mass of an atom of 12C. Before then,it was defined as the average mass of an atom of naturally occurring oxygen (a mixture of 16O, 17O, and 18O). The current atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 amu. (a) Did Avogadro’snumber change after the definition of an amu changed and, if so,in what direction? (b) Did the definition of the mole change?(c) Did the mass of a mole of a substance change? (d) Before1961, was Avogadro’s number 6.021023(when considered tothree significant figures), as it is today?arrow_forwardObtain an estimate for the number of atoms in the universe. Make the following assumptions: (a) All of the atoms in the universe are hydrogen atoms in stars. (This is not a ridiculous assumption because over threefourths of the atoms in the universe are in fact hydrogen. Gas and dust between the stars represent only about 15% of the visible matter of our galaxy, and planets compose a far smaller fraction.) (b) The sun is a typical star composed of pure hydrogen with a density of 1.4 g/cm^3 and a radius of 7x10^8 m. (c) Each of the roughly 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy contains the same number of atoms as our sun. (d) Each of the 10 billion galaxies in the visible universe contains the same number of atoms as our Milky Way galaxy.arrow_forward
