During the grade 10 camping trip. You have 10kg of wood to burn at the campfire and at the end of the night you only have 5g of ash. a) What type of reaction is this describing? b) What gases are produced? c) The ashes weight much less than the logs. Does this reaction follow the Law of Consevation of mass?

Two basic laws of chemistry are the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. Which of these laws (if any) do the following statements illustrate? (a) Lavoisier found that when mercury(ll) oxide, HgO, decomposes, the total mass of mercury (Hg) and oxygen formed equals the mass of mercury(ll) oxide decomposed. (b) Analysis of the calcium carbonate found in the marble mined in Carrara, Italy, and in the stalactites of the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico gives the same value for the percentage of calcium in calcium carbonate. (c) Hydrogen occurs as a mixture of two isotopes, one of which is twice as heavy as the other.
A jar contains some number of jelly beans. To find out precisely how many are in the jar, you could dump them out and count them. How could you estimate their number without counting each one? (Chemists need to do just this kind of bean counting when they work with atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules are too small to count one by one, so chemists have worked out other methods to determine the number of atoms in a sample.)
3.107 As computer processor speeds increase, it is necessary for engineers to increase the number of circuit elements packed into a given area. Individual circuit elements are often connected using very small copper “wires” deposited directly onto the surface of the chip. In some processors, these copper interconnects are about 22 nm wide. How many copper atoms would be in a 1-mm length of such an interconnect, assuming a square cross section? (The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm3.)
Elemental phosphorus bums in oxygen with an intensely hot flame, producing a brilliant light and clouds of the oxide product. These properties of the combustion of phosphorus have led to its being used in bombs and incendiary devices for warfare. :math>P4(s)+5O2(g)2P2O5(s) 4.95 g of phosphorus is burned, what mass of oxygen does it combine with?
Is there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 mole ratio and a sample of water vapor? Explain.
The burning of gasoline in automobile engines is a chemical reaction. In light of the law of conservation of mass, explain what happens to the gasoline in your cars tank as you drive.
If one can find the ratio of the number of moles of the elements in a compound to one another, one can find the formula of the compound. In a certain compound of copper and oxygen, CuxOy, we find that a sample weighing 0.9573g contains 0.7649gCu. a. How many moles of Cu are there in the sample? (MolesofCu=massofCumolarmassofCu) _moles b. How many gram of O are there in the sample? The mass of the sample equals the mass of the Cu plus the mass of O. _g c. How many moles of O are there in the sample. _moles d. What is the mole ratio (molesofCu/molesofO) in the sample? _:1 e. What is the formula of the oxide? The atom ratio equals the mole ratio and is expressed using the smallest integers possible. _ f. What is the molar mass of the copper oxide? _g/mol
A student places a sample of a pure metal in a crucible and heats it strongly in air. Data from the experiment are given in the table above. The final mass was determined after the sample was cooled to room temperature. Which of the following statements related to the experiment is correct? (See attached table) a.) The mass of the sample decreased, so physical changes occurred as the metal first melted and then boiled out of the crucible. b.) The mass of the sample increased, so a chemical change occurred when bonds formed between the metal and another substance. c.) There was nothing for the metal to react with, so only a physical change could have occurred. d.) The sample was only heated, so neither a physical nor a chemical change occurred.
2. 1.562g sample of the alcohol CH3CHOHCH2CH3 is burned in an excess of oxygen, thus forming carbon dioxide and water. What mass of H2O should be obtained?
Boron has two naturally occurring isotopes, ¹⁰B (19.9%)and ¹¹B (80.1%). Although the B₂ molecule does not existnaturally on Earth, it has been produced in the laboratory andbeen observed in stars. (a) How many different B₂ moleculesare possible? (b) What are the masses and percent abundancesof each?
Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Thus, the mass of the products of a chemical reaction must be equal to the mass of the starting materials. Formally, this concept is called the law of conservation of mass. A sample of sodium reacts completely with 0.426 kg k g of chlorine, forming 702 g g of sodium chloride. What mass of sodium reacted?
