Matter is made up atoms, but in a real chemistry lab, we measure substances in grams. Therefore you need to be able to convert from grams to numbers of atoms, and vice versa. Quartz, which contains one silicon atom and two oxygen atoms per formula unit, is the second-most-common mineral on Earth after feldspar. It is used as a gemstone, as well as in pressure gauges, oscillators, resonators, wave stabilizers, heat- ray lamps, and prismastic lenses, and in the manufacture of glass, paints, abrasives, and precision instruments such as watches. Part A What is the chemical formula for quartz? Express your answer as a chemical formula. • View Available Hint(s) formula for quartz = OA chemical reaction does not occur for this question.

Calculate the average density of a single Al-27 atom by assuming that it is a sphere with a radius of 0.143 nm. The masses of a proton, electron, and neutron are 1.67261024g,9.10941028g, and 1.67491024g, respectively. The volume of a sphere is 4r3/3, where r is its radius. Express the answer in grams per cubic centimeter. The density of aluminum is found experimentally to be 2.70 g/cm3. What does that suggest about the packing of aluminum atoms in the metal?
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?
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.
You have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y. The mass percents are as follows: Compound I: 30.43% X, 69.57% Y Compound II: 63.64% X, 36.36% Y In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you react gas X with gas Y to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature): 1 volume gas X + 2 volumes gas Y 2 volumes compound I 2 volumes gas X + 1 volume gas Y 2 volumes compound II Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in the chemical equations above. Then, determine the relative atomic masses of element X and element Y.
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.
