2.95 Engineers who design bicycle frames are familiar with the densities of aluminium (2.699 g/cm3), steel (7.87 g/cm3), and titanium (4.507 g/cm3). How does this information compare with Figure 2.12, and what would it suggest for changes in this figure if more shades were used for the density colour-coding? (Iron is the principal component of steel)
Calculate the average density of a single Al-27 atom by assuming that it is a sphere with a radius of 0.143 nm. The masses of a proton, electron, and neutron are 1.67261024g,9.10941028g, and 1.67491024g, respectively. The volume of a sphere is 4r3/3, where r is its radius. Express the answer in grams per cubic centimeter. The density of aluminum is found experimentally to be 2.70 g/cm3. What does that suggest about the packing of aluminum atoms in the metal?
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?
Why is the ability to solve problems important in the study of chemistry? Why is it that the method used to attack a problem is as important as the answer Lo the problem itself?
Paracelsus, a sixteenth-century alchemist and healer, adopted as his slogan: The patients are your textbook, the sickbed is your study. Is this view consistent with using the scientific method?
The mineral fluorite contains the elements calcium and fluorine and can have various colors, including blue, violet, green, and yellow. (a) What are the symbols of these elements? (b) How would you describe the shape of the fluorite crystals in the photo? What can this tell us about the arrangement of the particles (ions) inside the crystal?
The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3; that of silicon is 2.3 g/cm3. Explain why Si has the lower density even though it has heavier atoms.
Define and e xplain the differences between the following terms. a. law and theory b. theory and experiment c. qualitative and quantitative d. hypothesis and theory
A materials engineer has filed for a patent for a new alloy to be used in golf club heads. The composition by mass ranges from 25 to 31% manganese, 6.3 to 7.8% aluminum, 0.65 to 0.85% carbon, and 5.5 to 9.0% chromium, with the remainder being iron. What are the maximum and minimum percentages of iron possible in this alloy? Use Figure 2.12 to snake a prediction about how the density of this alloy would compare with that of iron; justify your prediction.
In 2009, a team from Northwestern University and WesternWashington University reported the preparation of a new“spongy” material composed of nickel, molybdenum, andsulfur that excels at removing mercury from water. The densityof this new material is 0.20 g/cm3, and its surface area is1242 m2 per gram of material. (a) Calculate the volume of a10.0-mg sample of this material. (b) Calculate the surface area fora 10.0-mg sample of this material. (c) A 10.0-mL sample of contaminatedwater had 7.748 mg of mercury in it. After treatmentwith 10.0 mg of the new spongy material, 0.001 mg of mercuryremained in the contaminated water. What percentage of themercury was removed from the water? (d) What is the final massof the spongy material after the exposure to mercury?
