Chapter 3: Problem 31

What is the mass, in kilograms, of an Avogadro's number of people, if the average mass of a person is \(160 \mathrm{lb}\) ? How does this compare with the mass of Earth, \(5.98 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{~kg}\) ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass of an Avogadro's number of people, with an average mass of 160 lb converted to \(72.574378\ \mathrm{kg}\), is approximately \(4.367 \times 10^{25}\ \mathrm{kg}\). This is about 7.3 times the mass of Earth, which is \(5.98 \times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}\).

Step by step solution

01

Convert 160 lb to kg

To convert pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg), we need to know that 1 lb is equal to approximately 0.453592 kg. Therefore, we can calculate the mass of a person in kilograms by multiplying: \(160\ \mathrm{lb} * 0.453592\ \mathrm{kg/lb} \approx 72.574378\ \mathrm{kg}\)
02

Find the mass of Avogadro's number of people in kg

Now that we have the average mass of a person in kilograms, we can multiply this by Avogadro's number (6.022 脳 10虏鲁) to find the total mass: \(72.574378\ \mathrm{kg} * (6.022 \times 10^{23}) = 4.367 \times 10^{25}\ \mathrm{kg}\)
03

Compare the mass with the mass of Earth

Now we need to compare this mass with the mass of Earth (5.98 脳 10虏鈦� kg). To do this, we can divide the mass of Avogadro's number of people by the mass of Earth to see how many times heavier it is: \(\frac{4.367 \times 10^{25}\ \mathrm{kg}}{5.98 \times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}} \approx 7.30\) The mass of an Avogadro's number of people (using the average mass of 160 lb) is approximately 7.3 times the mass of Earth.

Copper is an excellent electrical conductor widely used in making electric circuits. In producing a printed circuit board for the electronics industry, a layer of copper is laminated on a plastic board. A circuit pattern is then printed on the board using a chemically resistant polymer. The board is then exposed to a chemical bath that reacts with the exposed copper, leaving the desired copper circuit, which has been protected by the overlaying polymer. Finally, a solvent removes the polymer. One reaction used to remove the exposed copper from the circuit board is \(\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(a q)+4 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(a q) \longrightarrow\) \(2 \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}(a q)\) A plant needs to produce 5000 circuit boards, each with a surface area measuring \(2.0\) in. \(\times 3.0\) in. The boards are covered with a \(0.65-\mathrm{mm}\) layer of copper. In subsequent processing, \(85 \%\) of the copper is removed. Copper has a density of \(8.96 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\). Calculate the masses of \(\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}\) \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) needed to produce the circuit boards, assuming that the reaction used gives a \(97 \%\) yield.

Aluminum hydroxide reacts with sulfuric acid as follows: \(2 \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}(s)+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q)\) \(\mathrm{Al}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}(a q)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) Which reagent is the limiting reactant when \(0.500 \mathrm{~mol}\) \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}\) and \(0.500 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) are allowed to react? How many moles of \(\mathrm{Al}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\) can form under these conditions? How many moles of the excess reactant remain after the completion of the reaction?

When hydrocarbons are burned in a limited amount of air, both \(\mathrm{CO}\) and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) form. When \(0.450 \mathrm{~g}\) of a particular hydrocarbon was burned in air, \(0.467 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}, 0.733 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\), and \(0.450 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) were formed. (a) What is the empirical formula of the compound? (b) How many grams of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) were used in the reaction? (c) How many grams would have been required for complete combustion?

A manufacturer of bicycles has 4815 wheels, 2305 frames, and 2255 handlebars. (a) How many bicycles can be manufactured using these parts? (b) How many parts of each kind are left over? (c) Which part limits the production of bicycles?

An organic compound was found to contain only \(\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{H}\), and Cl. When a \(1.50-g\) sample of the compound was completely combusted in air, \(3.52 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) was formed. In a separate experiment the chlorine in a \(1.00-\mathrm{g}\) sample of the compound was converted to \(1.27 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{AgCl}\). Determine the empirical formula of the compound.
