Question
Chapter 4, Problem 14QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
English names for two elements whose names start with B, N, P and S should be listed and the symbol for the element should be given.
Concept Introduction:
The names of the chemical elements have come from many sources. Often an element’s name is derived from a Greek, Latin or German word that describes some property of the element. And sometimes, elements are named for the place where it was discovered. Some of heaviest elements are named after famous scientists.

2. Platinum and other group 10 metals often act as solid phase hydrogenation catalysts for
unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene, CH3CHCH2. In order for the reaction to be
catalyzed the propylene molecules must first adsorb onto the surface. In order to completely
cover the surface of a piece of platinum that has an area of 1.50 cm² with propylene, a total
of 3.45 x 10¹7 molecules are needed. Determine the mass of the propylene molecules that
have been absorbed onto the platinum surface.
