Chapter 1, Problem 5P

(a) By using the data in appendix 5, account for the isotopic distribution shown in Fig 1.1b. (b) The mass spectrum of S 8 shows other peaks at lower values of m/z. By considering the structure of S 8 shown in fig. 1.1c, suggest the origin of these lower mass peaks.

The sum of IE1through IE₄ for Group 4A(14) elements shows a decrease from C to Si, a slight increase from Si to Ge, adecrease from Ge to Sn, and an increase from Sn to Pb. (a) What is the expected trend for IEs down a group? (b) Suggest a reason for the deviations in Group 4A(14).(c) Which group might show even greater deviations?
A sample of soda-lime glass for tableware is analyzed and found to contain the following percentages by mass of oxides: SiO2, 72.4%; Na2O, 18.1%; CaO, 8.1%; Al2O3, 1.0%; MgO, 0.2%; BaO, 0.2%. (The elements are not actually present as binary oxides, but this is the way compositions are usually given.) Calculate the chemical amounts of Si, Na, Ca, Al, Mg, and Ba atoms per mole of O atoms in this sample.
