- 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_forwardThe photo here depicts what happens when a coil of magnesium ribbon and a few calcium chips are placed in water. (a) Based on these observations, what might you expect to see when barium, another Croup 2A element, is placed in water? (b) Give the period in which each element (Mg. Ca, and Ba) is found. What correlation do you think you might find between the reactivity of these elements and their positions in the periodic table?arrow_forward2.92 A candy manufacturer makes chocolate-covered cherries. Although all of the products look roughly the same, 3% of them are missing the cherry. The mass of the candy with a cherry is 18.5 g; those missing the cherry weigh only 6.4 g. (a) How would you compute the average mass of a box of 100 of these chocolate covered cherries from this manufacturer? (b) I low is this question analogous to the determination of atomic weights?arrow_forward
- Using the information in Table 2.1, answer the following questions. In an ion with an unknown charge, the total mass of all the electrons was determined to be 2.55 1026 g. while the total mass of its protons was 5.34 1023 g. What is the identity and charge of this ion? What is the symbol and mass number of a neutral atom whose total mass of its electrons is 3.92 1026 g, while its neutrons have a mass of 9.35 1023 g?arrow_forwardThe mass-to-charge ratio for the positive ion F+ is 1.97 107 kg/C. Using the value of 1.602 1019 C for the charge on the ion, calculate the mass of the fluorine atom. (The mass of the electron is negligible compared with that of the ion, so the ion mass is essentially the atomic weight.)arrow_forwardA sample of metallic element X, weighing 4.315 g, combines with 0.4810 L of Cl2 gas (at normal pressure and 20.0C) to form the metal chloride with the formula XCl. If the density of Cl2 gas under these conditions is 2.948 g/L, what is the mass of the chlorine? The atomic weight of chlorine is 35.45 amu. What is the atomic weight of X? What is the identity of X?arrow_forward
- Each of the following statements is true, but Dalton might have had trouble explaining some of them with his atomic theory. Give explanations for the following statements. a. The space-filling models for ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether are shown below. These two compounds have die same composition by mass (52% carbon, 13% hydrogen, and 35% oxygen), yet the two have different melting points, boiling points, and solubilities in water. b. Burning wood leaves an ash that is only a small fraction of the mass of the original wood. c. Atoms can be broken down into smaller particles. d. One sample of lithium hydride is 87.4% lithium by mass, while another sample of lithium hydride Ls 74.9% lithium by mass. However, the two samples have the same chemical properties.arrow_forwardWhen a sample of phosphorus burns in air, the compound P4O10 forms. One experiment showed that 0.744 g of phosphorus formed 1.704 g of P4O10. Use this information to determine the ratio of the atomic weights of phosphorus and oxygen (mass P/mass O). If the atomic weight of oxygen is assumed to be 16.000, calculate the atomic weight of phosphorus.arrow_forwardThe formula of water is If-O. Which of the following is indicated by this formula? Explain your answer. a. The mass of hydrogen is twice that of oxygen in each molecule. b. There are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per water molecule. c. The mass of oxygen is twice that of hydrogen in each molecule. d. There are two oxygen atoms and one hydrogen atom per water molecule.arrow_forward
- Chlorine has two isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl-37. Their abundances are 75.53% and 24.47%, respectively. Assume that the only hydrogen isotope present is H-1. (a) How many different HCI molecules are possible? (b) What is the sum of the mass numbers of the two atoms in each molecule? (c) Sketch the mass spectrum for HCI if all the positive ions are obtained by removing a single electron from an HCI molecule.arrow_forwardThe early alchemists used to do an experiment in which water was boiled for several days in a sealed glass container. Eventually. some solid residue would appear in die bottom of the flask, which was interpreted to mean that some of the water in the flask had been converted into earth. When Lavoisier repeated this experiment, he found that the water weighed the same before and after heating, and the mass of die flask plus the solid residue equaled the original mass of the flask. Were the alchemists correct? Explain what really happened. (This experiment is described in the article by A. F. Scott in Scientific American, January 1984.)arrow_forwardTwo compounds of iron and chlorine, A and B, contain 1.270 g and 1.904 g of chlorine, respectively, for each gram of iron. Show that these amounts are in the ratio 2 : 3. Is this consistent with the law of multiple proportions? Explain.arrow_forward
