A group of minerals containing either sulfide or disulfide is collectively known as sulfide minerals. An example is realgar (AS4S4), known as "ruby sulfur," characterized by its bright orange-red color. Another closely related sulfide mineral is orpiment (As2S3), which has a deep-yellow color. Which of the following laws of matter best describes the statements on sulfide minerals? Select one: O a. Law of conservation of matter O b. Law of definite proportions O c. Law of multiple proportions O d. Cannot be determined 37

General Zod has sold Lex Luthor what Zod claims to be a new copper-colored form of kryptonite, the only substance that can harm Superman. Lex, not believing in honor among thieves, decided to carry out some tests on the supposed kryptonite. From previous tests, Lex knew that kryptonite is a metal having a specific heat capacity of 0.082 J/gC and a density of 9.2 g/cm3. Lex Luthers first experiment was an attempt to find the specific heat capacity of kryptonite. He dropped a 10 g 3 g sample of the metal into a boiling water bath at a temperature of 100.0C 0.2C. He waited until the metal had reached the bath temperature and then quickly transferred it to I 00 g 3 g of water that was contained in a calorimeter at an initial temperature of 25.0C 0.2C. The final temperature of the metal and water was 25.2C. Based on these results, is it possible to distinguish between copper and kryptonite? Explain. When Lex found that his results from the first experiment were inconclusive, he decided to determine the density of the sample. He managed to steal a better balance and determined the mass of another portion of the purported kryptonite to be 4 g 1 g. He dropped this sample into water contained in a 25-mL graduated cylinder and found that it displaced a volume of 0.42 mL 0.02 mL. Is the metal copper or kryptonite? Explain. Lex was finally forced to determine the crystal structure of the metal General Zod had given him. He found that the cubic unit cell contained four atoms and had an edge length of 600. pm. Explain how this information enabled Lex to identify the metal as copper or kryptonite. Will Lex be going after Superman with the kryptonite or seeking revenge on General Zod? What improvements could he have made in his experimental techniques to avoid performing the crystal structure determination?

A diamond is said to last forever. Many believe this eternal existence is related to its hardness and crystalline structure. But, in actuality, it is related to the chemical process and associated energy changes that keep a diamond in its endless form. Based upon a law of thermodynamics, the conversion of a crystalline carbon (e.g., a diamond) to an amorphous carbon (e.g., graphite) is exergonic under normal atmospheric conditions and should spontaneously happen when diamonds are moved from underground to the surface at sea level. In theory, diamonds should only exist under high pressure (> 1 atm) between rocks and never above ground, out in the open atmosphere (~1 atm pressure). But, in reality, when we wear diamond jewelry, we never see a diamond disintegrate. A. There is a reason to explain why this spontaneous reaction (diamond ---> graphite + energy) never occurs. And this reason is related to the activation energy requirement needed for this reaction to move forward. Can…
