Chapter 5, Problem 138AE
One of the chemical controversies of the nineteenth century concerned the element beryllium (Be). Berzelius originally claimed that beryllium was a trivalent element (forming Be3+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This resulted in a calculated

| Volume | 22.6 cm3 | 26.0 cm3 |
| Temperature | 13°C | 17°C |
| Pressure | 765.2 mm Hg | 764.6 mm |
If beryllium is a divalent metal, the molecular formula of the product will be Be(C5H7O2)2; if it is trivalent, the formula will be Be(C5H7O2)3. Show how Combes’s data help to confirm that beryllium is a divalent metal.

Effervescent tablets contain both citric acid (C6H8O7) and sodium bicarbonate
(NaHCO3) and release carbon dioxide gas when dissolved in water as well as
forming trisodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7) and water. A typical effervescent tablet
contains 1.00 g of citric acid and 1.92 g sodium bicarbonate.
(a) Assuming that carbon dioxide acts as an ideal gas, determine the work
done due to the evolution of carbon dioxide by the dissolution of one
effervescent tablet in water at 25.0 °C and atmospheric pressure (1 atm
i.e. 101325 Pa).

- 62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy?

- A 6.53 g sample of mixture of magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate is treated with excess hydrochloric acid.

Five different samples of CaCO3(s) of known mass react with an excess of 2.0M HCl(aq) in identical sealed, rigid reaction vessels. The pressure of the gas produced is measured with a pressure gauge attached to the reaction vessel. Since the reaction is exothermic, the reaction system is cooled to its original temperature before Cooling the HCl(aq) to a lower temperature than it was in the original experiment the pressure is recorded.
