- Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forward3.95 Cumene is a hydrocarbon, meaning that it contains only carbon and hydrogen. If this compound is 89.94% C by mass and its molar mass is 120.2 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?arrow_forwardThe mass of 2.50 mol of a compound with the formula ECl4, in which E is a nonmetallic element, is 385 g. What is the molar mass of ECl4? What is the identity of E?arrow_forward
- Chlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?arrow_forwardCalculate the mass percent of titanium in the mineral ilmenite, FeTiO3. What mass of ilmenite (in grams) is required if you wish to obtain 750 g of titanium?arrow_forwardThe atomic mass of boron (B) is given in the periodic table as 10.81, yet no single atom of boron has a mass of 10.81 u. Explain.arrow_forward
- he vigorous reaction between aluminum and iodine gives the balanced equation: :math>2Al(s)+3I2(s)2AlI2(s). mg src=Images/HTML_99425-9-2QAP_image001.jpg alt="" align="top"/> at do the coefficients in this balanced chemical equation tell us about the proportions in which these substances react on a macroscopic (mole) basis?arrow_forwardThe element bromine is Br2, so the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the mass of its two atoms. Bromine has two isotopes. The mass spectrum of Br2 produces three peaks with relative masses of 157.836, 159.834, and 161.832, and relative heights of 6.337, 12.499. and 6.164, respectively. (a) What isotopes of bromine are present in each of the three peaks? (b) What is the mass of each bromine isotope? (c) What is the average atomic mass of bromine? (d) What is the abundance of each of the two bromine isotopes?arrow_forward2.75 Chlorine has only two isotopes, one with mass 35 and the other with mass 37. One is present at roughly 75% abundance, and the atomic weight of chlorine on a periodic table is 35.45. Which must be the correct mass spectrum for chlorine?arrow_forward
- The structure of one of the bases in DNA, adenine, is shown here. Which represents the greater mass: 40.0 g of adenine or 3.0 1023 molecules of the compound?arrow_forwardA sample of an alloy of aluminum contains 0.0898 mol Al and 0.0381 mol Mg. What are the mass percentages of Al and Mg in the alloy?arrow_forwardPotassium superoxide, KO2, is employed in a self-contained breathing apparatus used by emergency personnel as a source of oxygen. The reaction is 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) If a self-contained breathing apparatus is charged with 750 g KO2 and then is used to produce 188 g of oxygen, was all of the KO2 consumed in this reaction? If the KO2 wasnt all consumed, how much is left over and what mass of additional O2 could be produced?arrow_forward
