By x-ray diffraction it is possible to determine the geometric pattern in which atoms are arranged in a crystal and the distances between atoms. In a crystal of silver, four atoms effectively occupy the volume of a cube 0.409 nm on an edge. Taking the density of silver to be 10.5 g/cm3, calculate the number of atoms in one mole of silver.
The mass spectrum of bromine (Br2) consists of three peaks with the following characteristics: Mass (u) Relative Size 157.84 0.2534 159.84 0.5000 161.84 0.2466 How do you interpret these data?
A sample of cocaine, C17H21O4N, is diluted with sugar, C12H22O11. When a 1.00-mg sample of this mixture is burned, 1.00 mL of carbon dioxide (d=1.80g/L) is formed. What is the percentage of cocaine in this mixture?
Boron consists of two isotopes, 10B and 11B. Chlorine also has two isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl. Consider the mass spectrum of BC13. How many peaks would be present, and what approximate mass would each peak correspond to in the BCl3 mass spectrum?
Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying molecule of red blood cells, consisting of a protein and a nonprotein substance. The nonprotein substance is called heme. A sample of heme weighing 35.2 mg contains 3.19 mg of iron. If a heme molecule contains one atom of iron, what is the molecular weight of heme?
The mass spectrum of CH3Cl is illustrated here. You know that carbon has two stable isotopes, and 13C with relative abundances of 98.9% and 1.1%, respectively, and chlorine has two isotopes, 35a and 37CI with abundances of 75.77% and 24.23%, respectively. (a) What molecular species gives rise to the lines at m/Z of 50 and 52? Why is the line at 52 about 1/3 the height of the line at 50? (b) What species might be responsible for the line at m/Z = 51?
Disilane, Si2Hx, contains 90.28% silicon by mass. Calculate the value of x in this compound.
Fulgurites are the products of the melting that occurs when lightning strikes the earth. Microscopic examination of a sand fulgurite shows that it is a globule with variable composition that contains some grains of the definite chemical composition Fe 46.01%, Si 53.99%. Determine the empirical formula of these grains.
Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?
The age of the universe is unknown, but some conclude from measuring Hubbles constant that the age is about 18 billion years old, which is about four times the age of Earth. If so, calculate the age of the universe in seconds. If you had a sample of carbon with the same number of carbon atoms as there have been seconds since the universe began, determine whether you could measure this sample on a laboratory balance that can detect masses as small as 0.1 mg.
A certain metal, M, forms two oxides, M2O and MO. If the percent by mass of M in M2O is 73.4%, calculate the percent by mass in MO.
Reference Section 5-2 to find the atomic masses of 12C and 13C, the relative abundance of 12C and 13C in natural carbon, and the average mass (in u) of a carbon atom. If you had a sample of natural carbon containing exactly 10,000 atoms, determine the number of 12C and 13C atoms present. What would be the average mass (in u) and the total mass (in u) of the carbon atoms in this 10,000-atom sample? If you had a sample of natural carbon containing 6.0221 1023 atoms, determine the number of 12C and 13C atoms present What would be the average mass (in u) and the total mass (in u) of this 6.0221 1023 atom sample? Given that 1 g = 6.0221 1023 u, what is the total mass of I mole of natural carbon in units of grams?
