Chapter 4, Problem 15ALQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Atomic elements and molecular elements should be defined and discussed.

Concept Introduction:

Elements are chemically the simplest substance and cannot be broken down to simpler substance by chemical reactions. All the atoms of an element are same.

The element X has two naturally occurring isotopes. The masses (amu) and % abundances of the isotopes are given in the table below. The average atomic mass of the element is amu. Isotope | Abundance (%) | Mass (amu) 31x 35.16 31.16 34x 64.84 34.30 O 35.22 O 30.20 O 32.73 O 33.20 О 34.02
Give the chemical name for the ionic element/compound. Your answer will be marked incorrect if you did not spelled the element's name correctly. Mg2+ p3. NO3 Fe2+ HCO3 Ag* Be2+ C2H3O2 or CH3COO
A 9.73 g sample of calcium sulfide was decomposed into its constituent elements, producing 5.41 g of calcium and 4.32 g of sulfur. Which of the statements are consistent with the law of constant composition (definite proportions)? << The mass percentage of calcium plus the mass percentage of sulfur in every sample of calcium sulfide equals 100%. The ratio of calcium to sulfur will vary based on how the sample was prepared. Every sample of calcium sulfide will have 5.41 g of calcium. The mass ratio of Ca to S in every sample of calcium sulfide is 1.25. Every sample of calcium sulfide will have 55.6% mass of calcium.
