An alloy contains 10.8 % titanium by mass and has a density of 13.98 g/cm3. Titanium-49 has an isotopic abundance 6.82 %. Calculate the volume (cm3) of alloy required that contains 8,926,980,280,926,177,000,000 atoms of titanium-49. Submit your answer with no units and to two decimal places.
The elements of group 4A show an interesting change in properties moving down the group. Give the name and chemical symbol of each element in the group and label it as a nonmetal, metalloid, or metal.
A new compound has the empirical formula GaCl2. Thissurprises some chemists who, based on the position of gallium in the periodic table, expect a chloride of gallium to have the formula GaCl3 or possibly GaCl. They suggest that the “GaCl2” is really Ga[GaCl4], in which the bracketed group behaves as a unit with a -1 charge. Suggest experiments to test this hypothesis

- 2.95 Engineers who design bicycle frames are familiar with the densities of aluminium (2.699 g/cm3), steel (7.87 g/cm3), and titanium (4.507 g/cm3). How does this information compare with Figure 2.12, and what would it suggest for changes in this figure if more shades were used for the density colour-coding?

Also list the uses of each element.arrow_forwardA materials engineer has filed for a patent for a new alloy to be used in golf club heads. The composition by mass ranges from 25 to 31% manganese, 6.3 to 7.8% aluminum, 0.65 to 0.85% carbon, and 5.5 to 9.0% chromium, with the remainder being iron. What are the maximum and minimum percentages of iron possible in this alloy?

- The elements of Group 1-B (Cu, Ag, and Au) are sometimes referred to as the “coinage metals.” Why? What properties do they have that make them particularly useful for this purpose?arrow_forwardCopper: (a) Suppose you have a cube of copper metal that is 0.236 cm on a side with a mass of 0.1206 g. If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 1022 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how many atoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Or conversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there empty space in the lattice? (b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper. Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960 g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unit.arrow_forwardIn Groups 4A-6A, there are several elements whose symbols begin with S.
