Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation
- One method of analyzing amino acids is the van Slyke method. The characteristic amino groups (NH2) in protein material are allowed to react with nitrous acid. HNO2, to form N2 gas. From the volume of the gas, the amount of amino acid can be determined. A 0.0604-g sample of a biological sample containing glycine, CH2(NH2)COOH, was analyzed by the van Slyke method and yielded 3.70 mL of N2 collected over water at a pressure of 735 torr and 29 C. What was the percentage of glycine in the sample? CH2(NH2)CO2H+HNO2CH2(OH)CO2H+H2O+N2arrow_forwardStarting with the definition of rate of effusion and Graham’s finding relating rate and molar mass, show how to derive the Graham’s law equation, relating the relative rates of effusion for two gases to their molecular masses.arrow_forwardMetallic molybdenum can be produced from the mineral molybdenite, MoS2. The mineral is first oxidized in air to molybdenum trioxide and sulfur dioxide. Molybdenum trioxide is then reduced to metallic molybdenum using hydrogen gas. The balanced equations are MoS2(s)+72O2(g)MoO3(s)+2SO2(g)MoO3(s)+3H2(g)Mo(s)+3H2O(l) Calculate the volumes of air and hydrogen gas at 17C and 1.00 atm that are necessary to produce 1.00 103 kg pure molybdenum from MoS2. Assume air contains 21% oxygen by volume, and assume 100% yield for each reaction.arrow_forward
- The compression ratio in an automobile engine is the ratio of the gas pressure at the end of the compression stroke to the pressure in the beginning. Assume that compression occurs at constant temperature. The total volume of the cylinder in an automobile is 350 cm3, and the displacement the reduction in volume during the compression stroke is 309 cm3. What is the compression ratio in that engine?arrow_forwardIf 1.62 m3 of air at 120C and 738 torr is compressed into a 0.140 m3 tank, and the temperature is raised to 280C.arrow_forwardIf 1 cubic foot-28.3 L-of air at common room conditions of 230C and 0.985 bar is adjusted to STP, what does the volume become?arrow_forward
- Put the following in order of increasing pressure: 363 mm Hg, 363 kPa, 0.256 atm, and 0.523 bar.arrow_forwardThe density of liquid oxygen is about 1.4 g/cm3. Vaporized at 00C and 760 torr, this same 1.4 g occupies 980 cm3, an expansion of 700 times the liquids volume.arrow_forwardAcetaldehyde is a common liquid compound that vaporizes readily. Determine the molar mass of acetaldehyde from the following data: Sample mass = 0.107 g Volume of gas = 125 mL Temperature = 0.0 C Pressure = 331 mm Hgarrow_forward
- A mixture of chromium and zinc weighing 0.362 g was reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. After all the metals in the mixture reacted, 225 mL dry of hydrogen gas was collected at 27C and 750. torr. Determine the mass percent of Zn in the metal sample. [Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas; chromium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce chromium(III) chloride and hydrogen gas.]arrow_forward5-115 Ammonium nitrite decomposes upon heating to form nitrogen gas and water vapor according to the following unbalanced chemical reaction: When a sample is decomposed in a test tube, 511 mL Of wet N2(g) is collected over water at 26°C and 745 torr total pressure. How many grams of dry NH4NO2(s) were initially decomposed? The vapor pressure of water at 26°C is 25.2 torr.arrow_forward
