Chapter 3, Problem 92QAP
A sample of an oxide of vanadium weighing 4.589 g was heated with hydrogen gas to form water and another oxide of vanadium weighing 3.782 g. The second oxide was treated further with hydrogen until only 2.573 g of vanadium metal remained.
(a) What are the simplest formulas of the two oxides?
(b) What is the total mass of water formed in the successive reactions?

With the advent of techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy, it is now possible to “write” with individual atoms by manipulating and arranging atoms on an atomic surface.(A) If the image is prepared on a platinum surface that is exactly 20 platinum atoms high and 14 platinum atoms wide, what is the mass (grams) of the atomic surface? Show all work. [2](B) If the atomic surface were changed to ruthenium atoms and the same surface mass as determined in part (B) is used, what number of ruthenium atoms is needed to construct the surface? Show all work. [2]

- A mass spectrometer is an instrument that allows scientists to determinethe presence of elements in a given sample. As an environmental scientist, youhave analyzed some samples in a mass spectrometer and have found the presenceof elements. Now, you must organize and label some of the elements that youdiscovered in the samples. They are C, Po, Cr, Mg, and B. 2.In the table below, classifyeach element by the group (metal, nonmetal, or metalloid) it belongs to. Element Group C nonmetal Po metal Cr Mg B 3.A material chemist is tasked with coming up with a new material thatwill have specific, desired properties. A compound that she is working oncontains magnesium. A common approach to create a compound with enhanced,desired properties is to change one element in the material at a time.
