A student weighs a sample of carbon on a balance that is accurate to ±0.001 g. (a) How many atoms are in 0.001 g of C? (b) The carbon is used in the following reaction:
Pb3O4s+Cs→3PbOs+COg

What mass difference in the lead(II) oxide would be caused by an error in the carbon mass of 0.001 g?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

  1. The number of C atoms in 0.001 g of C is 5×1019Catoms

  2. The mass difference of PbO is 0.06 g PbO.

Step by step solution

01

Calculating the number of C atoms

On multiplying the given mass of C to the molar mass reciprocal and Avogadro’s number.

No.ofCatoms=0.001gC×1molC12.01gC×6.022×1023Catoms1molCNo.ofCatoms=5×1019Catoms

02

Calculating the mass difference of PbO

The mass difference can be found using,

MassdifferenceofPbO=0.001gC×1molC12.01gC×3molPbO1molC×223.2gPbO1molPbOMassdifferenceofPbO=0.06gPbO

Solar winds composed of free protons, electrons, andparticles bombard Earth constantly, knocking gas molecules outof the atmosphere. In this way, Earth loses about 3.0 kg of matterper second. It is estimated that the atmosphere will be gone inabout 50 billion years. Use this estimate to calculatethe amount (mol) of nitrogen,which makes up 75.5 mass % of the atmosphere.

Box A represents one unit volume of solution A. Which box – B, C or D represents one unit volume after adding enough solvent to solution A to (a) triple its volume; (b) double its volume; (c)quadruple its volume?

The rocket fuel hydrazine (N2H4) is made by the three-step Raschig process, which has the following overall equation:

NaOCI(aq)+2NH3(aq)→N2H4(aq)+NaCI(aq)+H2O(I)

What is the percent atom economy of this process?

High-temperature superconducting oxides hold great promise in the utility, transportation, and computer industries. (a) One superconductor is La2-xSrxCuO4. Calculate the molar masses of this oxide when x = 0, x = 1, and x = 0.163. (b) Another common superconducting oxide is made by heating a mixture of barium carbonate, copper(II) oxide, and yttrium(III) oxide, followed by further heating in O2:

4BaCO3(s)+6CuO(s)+Y2O3(s)→2YBa2Cu3O6.5(s)+4CO2(g)2Ba2Cu3O6.5(s)+12O2(g)→2YBa2Cu3O7(s)

When equal masses of the three reactants are heated, which reactant is limiting? (c) After the product in part (b) is removed, what is the mass percent of each reactant in the remaining solid mixture?

When powdered zinc is heated with sulfur, a violent reaction occurs, and zinc sulfide forms:

Zn(s)+S8(s)→ZnS(s)[unbalanced]

Some of the reactants also combine with oxygen in air to form zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide. When 83.2 g of Zn reacts with 52.4 g of S8, 104.4 g of ZnS forms. What is the percent yield of ZnS? (b) If all the remaining reactants combine with oxygen, how many grams of each of the two oxides form?
