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_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_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?

The X—X distance in the elemental form of X is 204 pm, and the Y—Y distance in elemental Y is 168 pm. What would you predict for the X—Y distance in the XY2 molecule? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardIf 2 moles of water decomposes, the products that will form are 2 moles of hydrogen gas and one mole of oxygen gas. If a reaction is conducted that consumes 20.0 mL of water, what volume of oxygen gas will be produced (in L)? The density of water is 0.998 g/mL. Assume that 1 mole of oxygen gas has a volume of 22.414 L. Use these atomic masses: H = 1.008 amu; O = 15.999 amu Not these answers: 12.32 12.417 18.015 0.55arrow_forward

Explain how you were able to determine that.arrow_forwardThe fluoride rinse in dental offices usually contains sodium fluoride. Sodium fluoride can be prepared from the reaction between sodium metal and fluorine gas. Which properly represents the balanced chemical equation for this reaction? Na(s) + F2(g) → NaF2(s) Na(s) + F(g) → NaF(s) 7Na(s) + F(g) → Na7F(s) 2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2Na2F(s) 2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2NaF(s) Why is it important to understand this equation? What do you think could happen if this is incorrect? ***************************************************************************** Need help with this portion For balancing equations my approach is trial by error. We want to sum up the atoms on each side and change the coefficients (number in front of each chemical species) until they are equal. I find the easiest way is to play with the numbers until they add up, and with practice you will see some patterns emerge. There is also this method below recommend by the book.
