Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.25P
Platinum is an expensive and rare metal used incatalytic converters. Much research has been devoted to maximizing reactive properties of other less expensive metals by reducing their size to the nanoscale. Smaller particles are more reactive because they have a larger surface area to volume ratio. Whichtype of an atom in a nanoparticle is more reactive?
(a) An atom on the surface of a particle
(b) An atom in the interior of a particle
(c) The location of an atom in the nanoparticle does not influence its reactivity.

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 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? Show all work. [2](B) 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? Show all work. [2]
5 g of anhydrous strontium nitrate is added to a beaker and exposed to the air. After several hours the beaker and the contents are weighed. It was found that the mass increased by 1.70 g. Assume that the increase in mass is totally due to the absorption of water by the anhydrous compound.
What is the percentage of water in the hydrated sample?
does hydrogen exist as an atomic element in the air?
