- There are 2.619 1022 atoms in 1.000 g of sodium. Assume that sodium atoms are spheres of radius 1.86 and that they are lined up side by side. How many miles in length is the line of sodium atoms?arrow_forwardThe early alchemists used to do an experiment in which water was boiled for several days in a sealed glass container. Eventually, some solid residue would appear in the bottom of the flask, which was interpreted to mean that some of the water in the flask had been converted into earth. When Lavoisier repeated this experiment, he found that the water weighed the same before and after heating and the mass of the flask plus the solid residue equaled the original mass of the flask. Were the alchemists correct? Explain what happened. (This experiment is described in the article by A. F. Scott in Scientific American, January 1984.)arrow_forwardThe early alchemists used to do an experiment in which water was boiled for several days in a sealed glass container.

- Define mass number. What is the difference between mass number and atomic mass?arrow_forwardAn atom has a very small nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud. Figure 2.1 represents the nucleus with a diameter of about 2 mm and describes the electron cloud as extending over 200 m. If the diameter of an atom is 1 10-8 cm, what is the approximate diameter of its nucleus?arrow_forwardA sample of metallic element X, weighing 4.315 g, combines with 0.4810 L of Cl2 gas (at normal pressure and 20.0C) to form the metal chloride with the formula XCl. If the density of Cl2 gas under these conditions is 2.948 g/L, what is the mass of the chlorine? The atomic weight of chlorine is 35.45 amu. What is the atomic weight of X?

- Each of the following statements is true, but Dalton might have had trouble explaining some of them with his atomic theory. Give explanations for the following statements. a. The space-filling models for ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether are shown below. These two compounds have die same composition by mass (52% carbon, 13% hydrogen, and 35% oxygen), yet the two have different melting points, boiling points, and solubilities in water. b. Burning wood leaves an ash that is only a small fraction of the mass of the original wood. c. Atoms can be broken down into smaller particles. d. One sample of lithium hydride is 87.4% lithium by mass, while another sample of lithium hydride Ls 74.9% lithium by mass. However, the two samples have the same chemical properties.arrow_forwardDuring nuclear decay a 238U atom can break apart into a helium-4 atom and one other atom. Assuming that no subatomic particles are destroyed during this decay process, what is the other element produced?arrow_forwardThe elements A and Z combine to produce two different compounds: A2Z3 and AZ2. If 0.15 mol of A2Z3 has a mass of 15.9 g and 0.15 mol of AZ2 has a mass of 9.3 g, what are the atomic weights of A and Z?arrow_forward

Estimate the average atomic mass of argon. If the masses of the isotopes are 35.968 u, 37.963 u, and 39.962 u, respectively, calculate the average atomic mass of natural argon.arrow_forward
