Lead is more often found in nature as its sulfide than its oxide. Provide a brief rationale for this fact.
World production of chromite (FeCr₂O₄), the main ore ofchromium, was 1.5107metric tons in 2003. To isolate chro-mium, a mixture of chromite and sodium carbonate is heated inair to form sodium chromate, iron(III) oxide, and carbon diox-ide. The sodium chromate is dissolved in water, and this solutionis acidified with sulfuric acid to produce the less soluble sodiumdichromate. The sodium dichromate is filtered out and reduced with carbon to produce chromium(III) oxide, sodium carbonate,and carbon monoxide. The chromium(III) oxide is then reduced to chromium with aluminum metal. (a) Write balanced equations for each step. (b) What mass of chromium (in kg) could be pre-pared from the 2003 world production of chromite?
The prefix eka- comes from the Sanskrit word for “one.”Mendeleev used this prefix to indicate that the unknownelement was one place away from the known element thatfollowed the prefix. For example, eka-silicon, which we nowcall germanium, is one element below silicon. Mendeleevalso predicted the existence of eka-manganese, which was notexperimentally confirmed until 1937 because this element isradioactive and does not occur in nature. Based on the periodictable shown in Figure 7.1, what do we now call the elementMendeleev called eka-manganese?
Nickel and copper ores are generally sulfides, whereasaluminum ore is an oxide. Explain this observation on thebasis of the hard/soft acid/base concept.
When aluminum replaces up to half of the silicon atomsin SiO2, a mineral class called feldspars result. The feldspars are the most abundant rock-forming minerals, comprisingabout 50% of the minerals in Earth’s crust. Orthoclase is afeldspar in which Al replaces one-fourth of the Si atoms ofSiO2, and charge balance is completed by K+ ions. Determinethe chemical formula for orthoclase.

The lead(IV) oxide used in car batteries is prepared by coat-ing the electrode plate with PbO and then oxidizing it to leaddioxide (PbO₂). Despite its name, PbO₂ has a nonstoichiometricratio of lead to oxygen of about 1/1.98. In fact, the holes in the PbO₂ crystal structure due to missing O atoms are responsiblefor the oxide’s conductivity. (a) What is the mole % of O miss-ing from the PbO₂ structure? (b) What is the molar mass of the nonstoichiometric compound?
