Concept explainers

Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.

An antacid tablet weighing 0.853 g contained calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, in addition to an inert binder. When an acid solution weighing 56.519 g was added to the tablet, carbon dioxide gas was released, producing a fizz. The resulting solution weighed 57.152 g. How many grams of carbon dioxide were produced?
erchants usually sell small nuts, washers, and bolts by weight (like jelly beans!) rather than by individually counting the items. Suppose a particular type of washer weighs 0.110 g on the average. What would 100 such washers weigh? How many washers would there be in 100. g of washers?
A 124-g sample of a pure liquid, liquid A, with a density of 3.00 g/mL is mixed with a 40.8-mL sample of a pure liquid, liquid B, with a density of 2.00 g/mL. What is the total volume of the mixture? (Assume there is no reaction upon the mixing of A and B, and volumes are additive.)
This year, like many past years, you begin to feel very sleepy alter eating a large helping of Thanksgiving turkey. Some people attribute this sleepiness to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in turkey. Tryptophan can be used by the body to produce serotonin, which can calm the brains activity and help to bring on sleep. a. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in a 0.25-lb serving of turkey? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 1.0% of the turkey mass.) b. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in 0.25 quart of milk? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 2.0% of milk by mass and that the density of milk is 1.04 kg/L.)
You can analyze for a copper compound in water using an instrument called a spectrophotometer. [A spectrophotometer is a scientific instrument that measures the amount of light (of a given wavelength) that is absorbed by the solution] The amount of light absorbed at a given wavelength of light (A) depends directly on the mass of compound per liter of solution. To calibrate the spectrophotometer, you collect the following data: Plot the absorbance (A) against the mass of copper compound per liter (g/L), and find the slope (m) and intercept (b) (assuming that A is y and the amount in solution is x in the equation for a straight line, y = mx + b). What is the mass of copper compound in the solution in g/L and mg/mL when the absorbance is 0.635?
When 12.6 g calcium carbonate (the principal component of chalk) is treated with 63.0 mL hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid sold in hardware stores; density = 1.096 g/mL), the calcium carbonate reacts with the acid, goes into solution, and carbon dioxide gas bubbles out of the solution. After all of the carbon dioxide has escaped, the solution weighs 76.1 g. Calculate the volume (in liters) of carbon dioxide gas that was produced. (The density of the carbon dioxide gas is 1.798 g/L.)
On October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).
A person weighed 15 pennies on a balance and recorded the following masses: 3.112 g 3.109 g 3.059 g 2.467 g 3.079 g 2.518 g 3.129 g 2.545 g 3.050 g 3.053 g 3.054 g 3.072 g 3.081 g 3.131 g 3.064 g Curious about the results, he looked at the dates on each penny. Two of the light pennies were minted in 1983 and one in 1982. The dates on the 12 heavier pennies ranged from 1970 to 1982. Two of the 12 heavier pennies were minted in 1982. a. Do you think the Bureau of the Mint changed the way it made pennies? Explain. b. The person calculated the average mass of the 12 heavy pennies. He expressed this average as 3.0828 g 0.0482 g. What is wrong with the numbers in this result, and how should the value be expressed?
The mole is the SI unit for the amount of a substance. The mass of one mole of pure table sugar is 342.3 grams. How many grams of sugar are in exactly 1/2 mole? What is the mass of 0.764 mole?
