Problem 6

Predict whether each substance listed will conduct electricity, dissolve in water, and/ or conduct electricity once it has dissolved. Explain your thinking in each case. \(\begin{array}{ll}{\text { a. } \mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}(l)} & {\text { acetone }} \\ {\text { b. } \operatorname{Ti}(s)} & {\text { titanium }} \\ {\text { c. } \operatorname{liNO}_{3}(s)} & {\text { lithium nitrate }} \\ {\text { d. } \operatorname{Cu} Z n(s)} & {\text { bronze }}\end{array}\)

Problem 6

If you measure the mass of the nickel strip before and at er plating copper, do you expect the mass to change? Explain your thinking.

Problem 7

Suppose you have a mixture of sodium chloride, \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) , and carbon, C. Explain how you can use water to separate the two substances.

Problem 7

Suppose that a classmate claimed that the nickel in the electroplating lab changed into copper. Provide an argument to prove that this is not true.

Problem 7

Explain why substances do not simply crumble into piles of atoms.

Problem 8

Explain why copper is used as wire, but copper chloride is not.

Problem 9

Determine the type of bonding in each substance. a. \(\operatorname{zin} c, Z n(s)\) b. propane, \(C_{3} H_{8}(l)\) c. calcium carbonate, \(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(s)\)

Problem 10

Will each of these substances dissolve in water? Explain your thinking. a. Ca \(\quad\) b. \(\operatorname{NaNO}_{3} \quad\) c. Si \(\quad\) d. \(\mathrm{CH}_{4} \quad\) e. CuSO \(_{4}\)

Problem 10

Based on physical properties, which of these substances is an ionic compound? Explain your reasoning. \(\begin{array}{llll}{\text { A. hair gel }} & {\text { B. silver bracelet }} & {\mathrm{C} \text { . motor oil }} & {\text { D. baking soda }}\end{array}\)

Problem 11

In the copper cycle from Lesson \(7,\) you saw that nitrogen dioxide, \(\mathrm{NO}_{2}(g),\) formed when copper, \(\mathrm{Cu}(s),\) was dissolved in nitric acid. How would you classify the bonding in \(\mathrm{NO}_{2}(g) ?\) Explain.
