In 1961, scientists agreed that the atomic mass unit (amu) would be defined as 1/12 the mass of an atom of 12C. Before then, it was defined as 1/16 the average mass of an atom of naturally occurring oxygen (a mixture of 16O, 17O, and 18O). The current atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 amu. (a) Did Avogadro’s number change after the definition of an amu changed and, if so, in what direction? (b) Did the definition of the mole change? (c) Did the mass of a mole of a substance change? (d) Before 1961, was Avogadro’s number 6.02×1023 (when considered to three significant figures), as it is today?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Avogadro’s number will become smaller.
  2. Yes, it changed.
  3. Yes, it changed.

No, it is different

Step by step solution

01

Checking the change of Avogadro’s number

The mass in old scale would be,

mold(C12)=16amu.12 amu15.9994 amumold(C12)=12.00045 amu

In old system,

12.00045 g.6.0221409.1023entities12 g=6.0223668.1023entities6.0223668.1023entities6.0221409.1023entities.100%=100.0037512%

02

Definition of mole change

There is a change in Avogrado’s number, the mole also changed. Yes, it is changed

03

Change in mass of mole of substance

Yes, it is changed due to the mole number.

04

Old Avogrado’s number

The old Avogadro’s number was 3×10-4 bigger.

Lead(II) chromate (PbCrO4) is used as the yellow pigment in traffic lanes, but is banned from house paint because of the risk of lead poisoning. It is produced from chromite (FeCr2O4), an ore of chromium:

4FeCr2O4(S)+8K2CO3(aq)+7O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s)+8K2CrO4(aq)+8CO2(g)

Lead(II) ion then replaces the K+ ion. If a yellow paint is 0.511% PbCrO4 by mass, how many grams of chromite are needed per kilogram of paint?

Cortisol (m = 362.47 g/mol), one of the major steroid hormones, is a key factor in the synthesis of protein. Its profound effect on the reduction of inflammation explains its use in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Cortisol is 69.6% C, 8.34% H, and 22.1% O by mass. What is its molecular formula?

Muriatic acid, an industrial grade of concentrated HCl, is used to clean masonry and cement. Its concentration is 11.7 M. (a) Write instructions for diluting the concentrated acid to make 3.0 gallons of 3.5 M acid for routine use (1 gal = 4 qt; 1 qt = 0.946 L). (b) How many milliliters of the muriatic acid solution contain 9.66 g of HCl?

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) is made by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride [(CH3CO)2O]:

C7H6O3(S)+(CH3CO)2O(I)→C9H8O4(S)+CH3COOH(I)

In one reaction, 3.077 g of salicylic acid and 5.50 mL of acetic anhydride react to form 3.281 g of aspirin. (a) Which is the limiting reactant (d of acetic anhydride = 1.080 g/mL)? (b) What is the percent yield of this reaction? (c) What is the percent atom economy of this reaction?

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuric acid, ethanol forms diethyl ether and water:

2CH3CH2OH(I)→CH3CH2OCH3CH2(I)+H2O(g)

In a side reaction, some ethanol forms ethylene and water:

CH3CH2OH(I)→CH2=CH2(g)+H2O(g)

(a) If 50.0 g of ethanol yields 35.9 g of diethyl ether, what is the percent yield of diethyl ether? (b) During the process, 45.0% of the ethanol that did not produce diethyl ether reacts by the side reaction. What mass of ethylene is produced?
