Aluminum nitrate forms a white crystalline hydrate with the formula Al(NO) .nH₂O(s). If this hydrate is heated to a high enough temperature, H₂O(g) can be driven off, leaving the anhydrous salt AI(NO) (s). A 15.152 gram sample of the hydrate was heated to drive off the water, leaving Al(NO₂),(s) with a mass of 8.603 grams. Calculate the value of n in Al(NO) ·nH₂O(s).

Nanotechnology, or technology utilizing 1100 nm sized particles, has rapidly expanded in the past few decades, with potential applications ranging across far-reaching fields such as electronics, medicine, biomaterials, and consumer products, to name a few. One of the primary advantages of nanoparticles is the presence of large surface/mass ratios, resulting in enhanced surface activities compared to bulk materials. a Use the density of silver (10.49 g/cm3) to determine the number of Ag atoms in a spherical 20.-nm silver particle. b In the crystalline metallic environment, the measured radii of silver atoms has been measured to be 144 pm. Use this to calculate the atomic packing fraction of a 20.-nm silver particle. In other words, calculate the ratio of the volume taken up by Ag atoms to the volume of the entire nanoparticle. c Based on the result of part (b), silver conforms to which type of cubic crystal lattice? A simple cubic B body-centered cubic C face-centered cubic d A cubic Ag ingot having a mass of 5.0-g is processed to form a batch of 20.-nm Ag nanoparticles. Calculate the ratio of the surface area provided by the batch of nanoparticles to the surface area of the initial cube of Ag.
The normal boiling point of SO2 is 263.1 K and that of NH3 is 239.7 K. At −40 °C, would you predict that ammonia has a vapor pressure greater than, less than, or equal to that of sulfur dioxide? Explain.
The vapor pressure of I2(s) at 30C is 0.466 mm Hg. (a) How many milligrams of iodine will sublime into an evacuated 750.0-mL flask? (b) If 3.00 mg of I2 are used, what will the final pressure in the flask be? (c) If 7.85 mg of I2 are used, what will the final pressure in the flask be?
Classify each substance in the table as either a metallic, ionic, molecular, or covalent network solid: Substance Appearance Melting Point Electrical Conductivity Solubility in Water X lustrous, malleable 1500 C high insoluble Y Soft, yellow 113 C None Insoluble Z Hard, white 800 C Only if melted/dissolved soluble
As minerals were formed from the molten magma, different ions occupied the same cites in the crystals. Lithium often occurs along with magnesium in minerals despite the difference in the charge on their ions. Suggest an explanation.
When I mole of benzene is vaporized at a constant pressure of 1.00 atm and at its boiling point of 353.0 K, 30.79 kJ of energy (heat) is absorbed and the volume change is +28.90 L. What are E and H for this process?
Explain why the molar enthalpies of vaporization of the following substances increase in the order CH4C2H6C3H8, even though the type of IMF (dispersion) is the same.
Which of the following do you expect to be molecular solids? a silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4 b lithium bromide, LiBr c sodium fluoride, NaF d bromine chloride, BrCl
Describe, in general, the structures of ionic solids. Compare and contrast the structure of sodium chloride and zinc sulfide. How many tetrahedral holes and octahedral holes are there per closest packed anion? In zinc sulfide, why are only one-half of the tetrahedral holes filled with cations?
A common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables, which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties, since one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?
Consider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.
