Chapter 2: Problem 52

How many hydrogen atoms are in each of the following: (a) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\), (b) \(\mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{COO}\right)_{2}\), (c) \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}\) ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
In conclusion, the number of hydrogen atoms in each formula is: (a) \(C_2H_5OH\): 6 hydrogen atoms, (b) \(Ca(C_2H_5COO)_2\): 12 hydrogen atoms, (c) \((NH_4)_3PO_4\): 12 hydrogen atoms.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the chemical formulas

In a chemical formula, each element is represented by its symbol and a number subscript. If no number is present (just the symbol), it means there is only one atom of that element in the molecule. For example, in the formula C2H5OH, there are 2 Carbon atoms, 5 Hydrogen atoms, and 1 Oxygen atom followed by 1 Hydrogen atom.
02

Calculate the hydrogen atoms for each formula

(a) \(C_2H_5OH\) In this formula, there are 5 Hydrogen atoms in the C2H5 group and 1 Hydrogen atom in the OH group. Total hydrogen atoms = 5 + 1 = 6 (b) \(Ca(C_2H_5COO)_2\) In this formula, the term within the parentheses is repeated 2 times due to the subscript '2'. So, let's calculate the hydrogen atoms in one (C2H5COO) group first: There are 5 Hydrogen atoms in the C2H5 group and 1 Hydrogen atom in the COO group. Total hydrogen atoms in one group = 5 + 1 = 6 Since there are 2 such groups: Total hydrogen atoms in the whole formula = 6 * 2 = 12 (c) \((NH_4)_3PO_4\) In this formula, the term within the parentheses is repeated 3 times due to the subscript '3'. The NH4 group contains 4 Hydrogen atoms. Since there are 3 such groups: Total hydrogen atoms in the whole formula = 4 * 3 = 12
03

Present the final answer

In conclusion, we have the following number of hydrogen atoms in each formula: (a) C2H5OH: 6 hydrogen atoms, (b) Ca(C2H5COO)2: 12 hydrogen atoms, (c) (NH4)3PO4: 12 hydrogen atoms.

Millikan determined the charge on the electron by studying the static charges on oil drops falling in an electric field (Figure 2.5). A student carried out this experiment using several oil drops for her measurements and calculated the charges on the drops. She obtained the following data: (a) What is the significance of the fact that the droplets carried different charges? (b) What conclusion can the student draw from these data regarding the charge of the electron? (c) What value (and to how many significant figures) should she report for the electronic charge?

The radius of an atom of gold \((\mathrm{Au})\) is about \(1.35 \AA\). (a) Express this distance in nanometers \((\mathrm{nm})\) and in picometers \((\mathrm{pm})\). (b) How many gold atoms would have to be lined up to span \(1.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) ? (c) If the atom is assumed to be a sphere, what is the volume in \(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) of a single \(\mathrm{Au}\) atom?

The diameter of a rubidium atom is \(4.95 \AA\). We will consider two different ways of placing the atoms on a surface. In arrangement A, all the atoms are lined up with one another to form a square grid. Arrangement B is called a close-packed arrangement because the atoms sit in the "depressions" formed by the previous row of atoms: (a) Using arrangement \(A\), how many Rb atoms could be placed on a square surface that is \(1.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) on a side? (b) How many Rb atoms could be placed on a square surface that is \(1.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) on a side, using arrangement B? (c) By what factor has the number of atoms on the surface increased in going to arrangement \(B\) from arrangement A? If extended to three dimensions, which arrangement would lead to a greater density for Rb metal?

How did Rutherford interpret the following observations made during his \(\alpha\)-particle scattering experiments? (a) Most \(\alpha\) particles were not appreciably deflected as they passed through the gold foil. (b) A few \(\alpha\) particles were deflected at very large angles. (c) What differences would you expect if beryllium foil were used instead of gold foil in the \(\alpha\)-particle scattering experiment?

Which of the following pairs of atoms are isotopes of one another? \((\) a \(){ }^{11} \mathrm{~B},{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}\); (b) \({ }^{55} \mathrm{Mn},{ }^{54} \mathrm{Mn} ;(\mathbf{c}){ }_{50}^{118} \mathrm{Sn},{ }_{50}^{120} \mathrm{Sn}\)
