- 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_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
- In a hypothetical universe, an oil-drop experiment gave the following measurements of charges on oil drops: 5.55 1019 C, 9.25 1019 C, 1.11 1018 C, and 1.48 1018 C. Assume that the smallest difference in charge equals the unit of negative charge in this universe. What is the value of this unit of charge? How many units of excess negative charge are there on each oil drop?arrow_forwardAn element (A) has 5 isotopes. The masses (and abundances) of the isotopes 46A, 47A, 48A, 50A are 4595263 u (7.25 %), 46.9518 u (6.44 %), 47.9479 u (63.72 %), and 49.9448 u (5.18 %) respectively. If the element Ahas an atomic mass of 47.87 u, and the last isotope 49A has a percent abundance in the ratio of 3.361 that of SA, what is the mass of 49A?arrow_forwardAntimony has many uses, including infrared devices and as part of an alloy in lead storage batteries. The element has two naturally occurring isotopes, one with mass 120.904 amu, the other with mass 122.904 amu.(a) Enter the notation for each isotope. antimony−121 antimony−123 (b) The atomic mass of antimony is 121.8 amu. Use this value to calculate the percent abundance of each isotope. % antimony−121 % antimony−123arrow_forward
- Hydrogen sulfide is composed of two elements: hydrogen and sulfur. In an experiment, 6.500 g of hydrogen sulfide is fully decomposed into its elements. (a) If 0.384 g of hydrogen is obtained in this experiment, how many grams of sulfur must be obtained? (b) What fundamental law does this experiment demonstrate?arrow_forwardWrite the symbol for each of the following ions. (Enter your answer in the form A X q± Z .) (a) the ion with a 3+ charge, 28 electrons, and a mass number of 69 (b) the ion with 36 electrons, 35 protons, and 44 neutrons (c) the ion with 91 electrons, 148 neutrons, and a 4+ charge (d) the ion with a 2+ charge, atomic number 40, and mass number 90arrow_forwardGive the chemical symbol, including superscript indicating mass number, for (a) the ion with 22 protons, 26 neutrons,and 19 electrons; and (b) the ion of sulfur that has 16 neutrons and 18 electrons.arrow_forward
