Consider the equation \(2 A+B \longrightarrow A_{2} B\). If you mix 1.0 mole of \(A\) with 1.0 mole of \(B\), what amount (moles) of \(A_{2} B\) can be produced?
There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. Heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with oxygen gas escaping into the atmosphere while leaving a residue of pure mercury. Heating 0.6498 g of one of the compounds leaves a residue of 0.6018 g. Heating 0.4172 g of the other compound results in a mass loss of 0.016 g. Determine the empirical formula of each compound.
An element "X" has five major isotopes, which are listed below along with their abundances. What is the element? $$\begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{|ccc|}\hline \text { Isotope } & \text { Percent Natural Abundance } & \text { Mass (u) } \\\\\hline 46 \mathrm{X} & 8.00 \% & 45.95232 \\\^{47} \mathrm{X} & 7.30 \% & 46.951764 \\\^{48} \mathrm{X} & 73.80 \% & 47.947947 \\\^{49} \mathrm{X} & 5.50 \% & 48.947841 \\\^{50} \mathrm{X} & 5.40 \% & 49.944792 \\\\\hline\end{array}\\\&\end{aligned}$$
Zinc and magnesium metal each reacts with hydrochloric acid to make chloride salts of the respective metals, and hydrogen gas. A 10.00-g mixture of zinc and magnesium produces \(0.5171 \mathrm{g}\) of hydrogen gas upon being mixed with an excess of hydrochloric acid. Determine the percent magnesium by mass in the original mixture.
Consider the following reaction: $$4 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)+5 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{NO}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)$$ If a container were to have 10 molecules of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) and 10 molecules of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) initially, how many total molecules (reactants plus products) would be present in the container after this reaction goes to completion?
