3.68 Magnesium is lighter than other structural metals, so it is increasingly important in the design of more efficient vehicles. Mg2+ ions are present in seawater, and the metal is often prepared by "harvesting" these ions and converting them to Mg metal. The average magnesium content of the oceans is about 1270 g Mg2+ per ton of seawater, and the density of seawater is about 1.03 g/mL. What is the molarity of Mg2+ ions in seawater? The design for a concept car calls for 103 kg of magnesium per vehicle. How many gallons of seawater would be required to supply enough magnesium to build one of these ears?
A sample of an oxide of vanadium weighing 4.589 g was heated with hydrogen gas to form water and another oxide of vanadium weighing 3.782 g. The second oxide was treated further with hydrogen until only 2.573 g of vanadium metal remained. (a) What are the simplest formulas of the two oxides? (b) What is the total mass of water formed in the successive reactions?
The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.
Two general chemistry students working together in the lab weigh out 0.832 g of CaCl2 2 H2O into a crucible. After heating the sample for a short time and allowing the crucible to cool, the students determine that the sample has a mass of 0.739 g. They then do a quick calculation. On the basis of this calculation, what should they do next? (a) Congratulate themselves on a job well done. (b) Assume the bottle of CaCl2 2 H2O was mislabeled; it actually contained something different. (c) Heat the crucible again, and then reweigh it.
Over the years, the thermite reaction has been used for welding railroad rails, in incendiary bombs, and to ignite solid fuel rocket motors. The reaction is :math>Fe2O3(s)+2Al(s)2Fe(l)+Al2O3(s) l type='a'> What mass of iron(III) oxide must be used to produce 25.69 g of iron? What mass of aluminum must be used to produce 25.69 g of iron? What is the maximum mass of aluminum oxide that could be produced along with 25.69 g of iron?
A 0.755-g sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate CuSo4xH2O was heated carefully until it had changed completely to anhydrous copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4 ) with a mass of 0.4183 g. Determine the value of x. [This number is called the number of waters of hydration of copper(II) sulfate. It specifies the number of water molecules per formula unit ofCuSO4 in the hydrated crystal.]
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass cannot be gained or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Why can't you simply add the masses of two reactants to determine the total mass of product? Choose the best answer and explain. One of the reactants could be present in excess, and not all of it will be used to make the product(s). The masses of the reactants must be converted to moles first and then added. Not all chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass, especially ones with mixed physical states present. The masses of the two reactants cannot be added until they are each multiplied by their coefficient in the balanced equation. It is only the molar masses that are conserved in chemical reactions, not the actual mass amounts given in the laboratory.

With the advent of techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy, it is now possible to write with individual atoms by manipulating and arranging atoms on an atomic surface. a. If an image is prepared by manipulating iron atoms and their total mass is 1.05 1020 g, what number of iron atoms were used? b. If the image is prepared on a platinum surface that is exactly 20 platinum atoms high and 14 platinum atoms wide, what is the mass (grams) of the atomic surface? c. If the atomic surface were changed to ruthenium atoms and the same surface mass as determined in part b is used, what number of ruthenium atoms is needed to construct the surface?

One method for determining the purity of a sample of titanium(IV) oxide, TiO2, an important industrial chemical, is to react the sample with bromine trifluoride. 3 TiO2(s) + 4 BrF3() 3 TiF4(s) + 2 Br2() + 3 O2 (g) This reaction is known to occur completely and quantitatively. That is. all of the oxygen in TiO2, is evolved as O2 Suppose 2.367 g of a TiO2-containng sample evolves 0.143 g O2. What is the mass percent of TiO2 in the 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.)
