Assume that the radius of Earth is 6400 km, the crust is 50. km thick, the density of the crust is 3.5 g/cm3, and 25.7% of the crust is silicon by mass. Calculate the total mass of silicon in the crust of Earth.
Cloth can be waterproofed by coating it with a silicone layer. This is done by exposing the cloth to (CH3)2SiCl2 vapor. The silicon compound reacts with OH groups on the doth to form a waterproofing film (density = 1.0 g/cm3) of [(CH3)2SiO]n, where n is a large integer number. n (CH3)2SiCl2 + 2n OH 2n Cl + n H2O + [(CH3)2SiO]n The coating is added layer by layer, with each layer of [(CH3)2SiO]n being 0.60 nm thick. Suppose you want to waterproof a piece of doth that is 3.00 square meters, and you want 250 layers of waterproofing compound on the cloth. What mass of (CH3)2SiCl2 do you need?

As part of the aspirin synthesis lab the orgo students also had to perform the following calculation to demonstrate their knowledge. Are you able to help them work this out? Saponification is a process in which soap is produced from the chemical reaction between animal fat (triglycerides) and a strong base such as KOH. An example of such balanced chemical reaction is shown here: C51H98O6 + 3KOH → C3H5(OH)3 + 3C16H31O2K (Triglyceride) (Soap) if during the saponification reaction 231.5 g of C51H98O6 is mixed with 231.5 g of KOH and 160 g of soap is produced. Calculate the theoretical yield of soap C16H31O2K and indicate who is the limiting reactant.

Many dry compounds are found in hydrated What does this mean? The compound has water molecules attached to it, even when it is a dry substance. For example, copper sulfate forms a complex with five water molecules. The symbol is CuSO4×5H2O and is named copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. Another hydrated compound containing Sodium, Boron and Oxygen was investigated. 250.00 g of the compound was heated in order to dehydrate it. The remaining material was then decomposed, producing 30.14 g of Na, 28.34 g of B and 73.40 g of O. A mass spectrum revealed that the molecular mass of the compound is 381.42 g/mol. From this information, determine the values of w, x, y and z . NawBxOy×Z H2O
In biological systems, enzymes are used to accelerate the rates of certain biological reactions. Glucoamylase is an enzyme that aids in the conversion of starch to glucose (a sugar that cells use for energy). Experiments show that 1 μg mol of glucoamylase in a 4% starch solution results in a production rate of glucose of 0.6 μg mol/(mL)(min). Determine the production rate of glucose for this system in units of lb mol/(ft3)(day). A. 0.0015 lb mol/(ft3)(day) B. 0.0315 lb mol/(ft3)(day) C. 0.0539 lb mol/(ft3)(day) D. 0.3569 lb mol/(ft3)(day)
Swimming pool water is often made safe for swimming by treating with chlorine in the form of sodium hypocholrite (NaOCI) solution.
