- Chalky, white crystals in mineral collections are often labeled borax, which has the molecular formula Na2B4O7 10H2O, when actually they are partially dehydrated samples with the molecular formula Na2B4O7 5H2O, which is more stable under the storage conditions. Real crystals of borax are colorless and transparent. (a) Calculate the percent mass that the mineral has lost when it partially dehydrates. (b) Is the percent boron by mass the same in both compounds?arrow_forward4.104 When 2.750 g of the oxide Pb3O4 is heated to a high temperature, it decomposes to produce 0.0640 g of oxygen gas and 2.686 g of some new lead oxide compound. How can you use these data to determine the formula of the new compound?arrow_forwardopical hydrocortisone is often used to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as insect bites, eczema, and rashes. Each molecule of hydrocortisone contains 21 atoms of carbon (plus other atoms). The mass percentage of carbon in hydrocortisone is 69.5 8%. What is the molar mass of hydrocortisone?arrow_forward
- Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forward3.123 Most periodic tables provide molar masses with four or five significant figures for the elements. How accurately would you have to measure the mass of a sample of roughly 100 g to make a calculation of the number of moles of the chemical to have its significant figures limited by the molar mass calculation rather than the mass measurement?arrow_forwardA sample of sandstone consists of silica, SiO2, and calcite, CaCO3. When the sandstone is heated, calcium carbonate, CaCO3, decomposes into calcium oxide, CaO, and carbon dioxide CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) What is the percentage of silica in the sandstone if 18.7 mg of the rock yields 3.95 mg of carbon dioxide?arrow_forward
- You take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forward1.92gM^ 2+ ion reacts with 0.158 mol to produce a compound, MX 2 , which is 86.8 % X by mass.

- Chemical analyses conducted by the first Mars Rover robotic vehicle in its 1997 mission collected magnesium isotope data. To produce this data, the Mars Rover collected a rock sample and used it for a variety of chemical tests.
