The average atomic masses of some elements may vary, depending upon the sources of their ores. Naturally occurring boron consists of two isotopes with accurately known masses ( 10B, 10.0129 amu and 11B, 11.0931 amu). The actual atomic mass of boron can vary from 10.807 to 10.8 19, depending on whether the mineral source is from Turkey or the United States. Calculate the percent abundances leading to the two values of the average atomic masses of boron from these two countries.
There are 1.699 1022 atoms in 1.000 g of chlorine. Assume that chlorine atoms are spheres of radius 0.99 and that they are lined up side by side in a 0.5-g sample. How many miles in length is the line of chlorine atoms in the sample?
A gaseous binary compound has a vapor density that is 1.94 times that of oxygen at the same temperature and pressure. When 1.39 g of the gas is burned in an excess of oxygen, 1.21 g water is formed, removing all the hydrogen originally present. (a) Estimate the molecular mass of the gaseous compound. (b) How many hydrogen atoms are there in a molecule of the compound? (c) What is the maximum possible value of the atomic mass of the second element in the compound? (d) Are other values possible for the atomic mass of the second element? Use a table of atomic masses to identify the element that best fits the data. (e) What is the molecular formula of the compound?
A mass spectrometer determines isotopic masses to eight or nine significant digits. What limits the atomic mass of carbon to only five significant digits?
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?
These questions concern the work of J. J. Thomson. a. From Thomsons work, which particles do you think he would feel are most important for the formation of compounds (chemical changes), and why? b. Of the remaining two subatomic particles, which do you place second in importance for forming compounds, and why? c. Propose three models that explain Thomson's findings and evaluate them. To be complete you should include Thomsons findings
Indium oxide contains 4.784 g of indium for every 1.000 g of oxygen. In 1869, when Mendeleev first presented his version of the periodic table, he proposed the formula In2O3 for indium oxide. Before that time it was thought that the formula was InO. What values for the atomic mass of indium are obtained using these two formulas? Assume that oxygen has an atomic mass of 16.00.
What evidence led to the conclusion that cathode rays had a negative charge?
The following chart shows a general decline in abundance with increasing mass among the first 30 elements. The decline continues beyond zinc. Notice that the scale on the vertical axis is logarithmic, that is, it progresses in powers of 10. The abundance of nitrogen, for example, is 1/10,000 (1/104) of the abundance of hydrogen. All abundances are plotted as the number of atoms per 102 atoms of H. (The fact that the abundances of Li, Be, and B, as well as those of the elements near Fe, do not follow the general decline is a consequence of the way that elements are synthesized in stars.) (a) What is the most abundant main group metal? (b) What is the most abundant nonmetal? (c) What is the most abundant metalloid? (d) Which of the transition elements is most abundant? (e) Which halogens are included on this plot, and which is the most abundant?
The atomic masses in die periodic table are relative masses and average masses. Explain.
What are the live most abundant elements (by mass) in the earth’s crust, oceans, and atmosphere?
Early tables of atomic weights (masses) were generated by measuring the mass of a substance that reacts with 1.00 g of oxygen. Given the following data and taking the atomic mass of hydrogen as 1.00, generate a table of relative atomic masses for oxygen, sodium, and magnesium. Element Mass That Combines with 1.00g Oxygen Assumed Formula Hydrogen 0.126 g HO Sodium 2.875 g NaO Magnesium 1.500 g MgO How do your values compare with those in the periodic table? How do you account for any differences?
