Concept Introduction:
Metals are elements that have characteristic properties of thermal conductivity, luster, electrical conductivity, and malleability. Except mercury, the physical state of all other metals is solids. They have very high melting points and high density.
Nonmetals are elements that are characterized by the absence of properties like thermal conductivity, luster, electrical conductivity, and malleability. Mostly nonmetals are gases. Only bromine is present as liquid in room temperature. The density of nonmetals is low and they have lower melting points than metals.
Metalloids are elements that possess both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Element present in the periodic table are represented by a unique name and a chemical symbol. The

- The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardChlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl.

(b) Calculate how many kilograms of SiO2 are required to produce 3.69 kg of SiC.arrow_forwardOne way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq) 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO3),(a9) The chemist adds 56.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 2.8 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample.
