The density of gaseous helium at 25 C and normal atmospheric pressure is 1.64 104 g/mL. At the same temperature and pressure the density of argon gas is 1.63 103 g/mL. The mass of an atom of argon is almost exactly ten times the mass of an atom of helium. Provide a nanoscale explanation of why the densities differ as they do.

Which represents nanoscale particles in a sample of liquid? Which represents nanoscale particles in a sample of gas? Which represents nanoscale particles in a sample of an element? Which represents nanoscale particles in a sample of a compound? Which represents nanoscale particles in a sample of a pure substance? Which represents nanoscale particles in a sample of a mixture?
In the opening scenes of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones tries to remove a gold idol from a booby-trapped pedestal. He replaces the idol with a bag of sand of approximately equal volume. (Density of gold = 19.32 g/cm3; density of sand 2 g/cm3.) a. Did he have a reasonable chance of not activating the mass-sensitive booby trap? b. In a later scene, he and an unscrupulous guide play catch with the idol. Assume that the volume of the idol is about 1.0 L. If it were solid gold, what mass would the idol have? Is playing catch with it plausible?
Copper: (a) Suppose you have a cube of copper metal that is 0.236 cm on a side with a mass of 0.1206 g. If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 1022 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how many atoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Or conversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there empty space in the lattice? (b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper. Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960 g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unit.
Which of the these statements are qualitative? Which are quantitative? Explain your choice in each case. (a) The atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 (12.011 atomic mass units). (b) Pure aluminum is a silvery-white metal that is nonmagnetic, has a low density, and does not produce sparks when struck. (c) Sodium has a density of 0.968 g/mL. (d) In animals the sodium cation, Na+, is the main extracellular cation and is important for nerve function.
The chemist in Example 1.14 did some further experiments. She found that the pipet used to measure the volume of the liquid is accurate to 0.03 cm3. The mass measurement is accurate to 0.002 g. Are these measurements sufficiently precise for the chemist to distinguish between isopropyl alcohol and ethanol?
Make molecular-level (microscopic) drawings for each of the following. a. Show the differences between a gaseous mixture that is a homogeneous mixture of two different compounds, and a gaseous mixture that is a homogeneous mixture of a compound and an element. b. Show the differences among a gaseous element, a liquid element, and a solid element.
This is the chemical formula for acetic acid (the chemical that gives the sharp taste to vinegar): CH3CO2H An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 38. moles of oxygen in a sample of acetic acid. How many moles of hydrogen are in the sample? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
The density of gold metal is 19.3 g/cm3, while that for silver is 10.5 g/cm3. Suppose you had the same size bar of each metal, with the dimensions 2.00 in x 10.0 cm x 760 mm. Volume of a cube is height x length x width. Which bar would have the greatest mass? Which bar contains the greater number of atoms? If the two bars were melted and mixed together to form an alloy (or mixture) what would be the total mass?
