- Iron forms a sulfide with the approximate formula Fe7S8. Assume that the oxidation state of sulfur is 2 and that iron atoms exist in both +2 and +3 oxidation states. What is the ratio of Fe(II) atoms to Fe(III) atoms in this compound?arrow_forwardMagnesium metal (a component of alloys used in aircraft and a reducing agent used in the production of uranium, titanium, and other active metals) is isolated from sea water by the following sequence of reactions: Mg2+(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+Ca2+(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+2HCl(aq)MgCl2(s)+2H2O(l)MgCl2(l)electrolysisMg(s)+Cl2+Cl2(g) Sea water has a density of 1.026 g/cm3 and contains 1272 parts per million of magnesium a5 Mg2+(aq) by mass. What mass, in kilograms, of Ca(OH)2; is required to precipitate 99.9% of the magnesium in 1.00103 L of sea water?arrow_forward3.25 The following compounds are water-soluble. What ions are produced by each compound in aqueous solution? (a) KOH, (b) K2SO4, (c) LiNO3, (d) (NH4)2SO4.arrow_forward
- Write balanced chemical equations for the following reactions: (a) zinc metal heated in a stream of oxygen gas (b) zinc carbonate heated until loss of mass stops (c) zinc carbonate added to a solution 0f acetic acid, CH3CO2H (d) zinc added to a solution of hydro-bromic acidarrow_forwardVitamin C is ascorbic acid, HC6H7O6, which can be titrated with a strong base. HC6H7O6(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaC6H7O6(aq) + H2O() A student dissolved a 500.0-mg vitamin C tablet in 200.0 mL water and then titrated it with 0.1250-M NaOH. It required 21.30 mL of the base to reach the equivalence point. Calculate the mass percentage of the tablet that is impurity.arrow_forwardColorful fireworks often involve the decomposition of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate and the reaction of the metals magnesium, aluminum, and iron with oxygen. (a) Write the formulas of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate. (b) The decomposition of solid potassium chlorate leads to the formation of solid potassium chloride and diatomic oxygen gas. Write an equation for the reaction. (c) The decomposition of solid barium nitrate leads to the formation of solid barium oxide, diatomic nitrogen gas, and diatomic oxygen gas. Write an equation for the reaction. (d) Write separate equations for the reactions of the solid metals magnesium, aluminum, and iron with diatomic oxygen gas to yield the corresponding metal oxides. (Assume the iron oxide contains Fe3+ ions.)arrow_forward
- 4.22 Generally, an excess of O2 is needed for the reaction Sn+O2SnO2 . What is the minimum number of moles of oxygen required to oxidize 7.3 moles of tin?arrow_forwardOne of the ways to remove nitrogen monoxide gas, a serious source of air pollution, from smokestack emissions is by reaction with ammonia gas, NH3. The products of the reaction, N2 and H2O, are not toxic. Write the balanced equation for this reaction. Assign an oxidation number to each element in the reactants and products, and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced.arrow_forwardow do chemists know that the ions behave independently of one another when an ionic solid is dissolved in water?arrow_forward
- Describe some physical and chemical properties of acids and bases. What is meant by a strong acid or base? Are strong acids and bases also strong electrolytes? Give several examples of strong acids and strong bases.arrow_forwardAn antacid tablet has calcium carbonate as the active ingredient; other ingredients include a starch binder. You dissolve the tablet in hydrochloric acid and filter off insoluble material. You add potassium oxalate to the filtrate (containing calcium ion) to precipitate calcium oxalate. If a tablet weighing 0.750 g gave 0.629 g of calcium oxalate, what is the mass percentage of active ingredient in the tablet?arrow_forwardChlorisondamine chloride (C14H20Cl6N2) is a drug used in the treatment of hypertension. A 1.28-g sample of a medication containing the drug was treated to destroy the organic material and to release all the chlorine as chloride ion. When the filtered solution containing chloride ion was treated with an excess of silver nitrate, 0.104 g silver chloride was recovered. Calculate the mass percent of chlorisondamine chloride in the medication, assuming the drug is the only source of chloride.arrow_forward
