Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Chemical formula for the given ball-and-stick model has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical formula represents the composition by using the chemical symbols. Subscript that is present after each chemical symbol represent the number of atoms of the element that is present in the compound.
Molecular formula is also a chemical formula that is given to compounds. This gives information about how many different types of atoms of each type of element is present in one molecule of a compound. The chemical symbol of the element is written that is followed by subscript which tells that how many atoms of the element are present in it.
(b)
Interpretation:
Chemical formula for the given ball-and-stick model has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part (a).

- A 2.5624-g sample of a pure solid alkali metal chloride is dissolved in water and treated with excess silver nitrate. The resulting precipitate, filtered and dried, weighs 3.03707 g. What was the percent by mass of chloride ion in the original compound? What is the identity of the salt?arrow_forwardIt is stated in Section 6.3 of the text that to balance equations by inspection you start “with the most complicated molecule.” What does this mean? Why is it best to do this?arrow_forward4.106 An ore sample with a mass of 670 kg contains 27.7% magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. If all of the magnesium carbonate in this ore sample is decomposed to form carbon dioxide, describe how to determine what mass of CO2 is evolved during the process.arrow_forward
- Iron oxide ores, commonly a mixture of FeO and Fe2O3, are given the general formula Fe3O4. They yield elemental iron when heated to a very high temperature with either carbon monoxide or elemental hydrogen. Balance the following equations for these processes: Fe3O4(s)+H2(g)Fe(s)+H2O(g)Fe3O4(s)+CO(g)Fe(s)+CO2(g)arrow_forwardMany cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?arrow_forwardMany over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forward

A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?arrow_forwardBacterial digestion is an economical method of sewage treatment. The reaction is an intermediate step in the conversion of the nitrogen in organic compounds into nitrate ions. What mass of bacterial tissue is produced in a treatment plant for every 1.0 104 kg of wastewater containing 3.0% NH4+ ions by mass? Assume that 95% of the ammonium ions are consumed by the bacteria.arrow_forwardNitric acid is produced commercially by the Ostwald process, represented by the following equations: 4NH3(g)+5O24NO(g)+6H2O(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)2HNO3(aq)+NO(g) What mass of NH3 must be used to produce 1.0 106 kg HNO3 by the Ostwald process? Assume 100% yield in each reaction, and assume that the NO produced in the third step is not recycled.arrow_forward
- 3.14 A number of compounds are used in cement, and reactions among them occur when water is added. In one, CaO reacts with Al2O3 and water to form Ca3Al2(OH)12. Write a bal- anced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forward(a) Butane gas, C4H10, can burn completely in air [use O2(g) as the other reactant] to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this combustion reaction. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are CO2(g), H2O(g), and B2O3(s).arrow_forwardThe balanced equation for the reduction of iron ore to the metal using CO is Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) (a) What is the maximum mass of iron, in grams, that can be obtained from 454 g (1.00 lb) of iron(III) oxide? (b) What mass of CO is required to react with 454 g cot Fe2O3?arrow_forward
