4. Fluorine is the most abundant nonmetal in the universe. 5. Iodine can be easily obtained from seawater. 6. Nonmetals are very many but extremely very important. 7. Oxygen is needed for respiration to occur in cells. 8. Xenon easily passed the liquid state from solid to gas in the process of sublimation. 9. The nonmetals hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen make up almost 96% of the mass of our human bodies. 10. Nonmetals are usually solids, ductile, and malleable by nature.

Is there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and a sample of water vapor? Explain.
Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.
A sample of matter that is “rigid” has (stronger/weaker) forces among the particles in the sample than does a sample that is not rigid.

Although we tend to make less use of mercury these days because of the environmental problems created by its improper disposal, mercury is still an important metal because of its unusual property of existing as a liquid at room temperature. One process by which mercury is produced industrially is through the heating of its common ore cinnabar (mercuric sulfide, HgS) with lime (calcium oxide, CaO). 4 HgS(s) + 4 CaO(s) → 4 Hg(l) + 3 CaS(s) + CaSO4(s) What mass of mercury would be produced by complete reaction of 10.7 kg of HgS? kg

Temperature has to do with the motion of atoms. In general, the greater the motion of the atoms in a given sample of matter, the greater is its temperature. Based on this, describe what is happening at the atomic level to explain the temperature decrease of the hot water, and the temperature increase of the RT water when they are mixed. Why does the more massive RT body undergo the smaller temperature change?
