EBK INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY
- Magnesium oxide is used in making bricks to line very high temperature furnaces. If a brick contains 1.82kg of the oxide, what is the mass of magnesium in the brick?arrow_forwardAluminum oxide (Al2O3) occurs in nature as a mineral called corundum, which is noted for its hardness and resistance to attack by acids. Its density is 3.97gcm3 . Calculate the number of atoms of aluminum in 15.0cm3 corundum.arrow_forwardLithium fluoride is used as a flux when welding or soldering aluminum. How many grams of lithium are in 1.00lb(454g) of lithium fluoride?arrow_forward
- What is the formula for massarrow_forwardAmmonium bromide is a raw material in the manufacture of photographic film. What mass of bromine is found in 7.50g of the compound?arrow_forwardHow many grams of the insecticide calcium chlorate must be measured if a sample is to contain 4.17g chlorine?arrow_forward
- Glycine, an amino acid found in proteins, has a molecular weight of 75.07u and is represented by the formula C2HxNO2. What number does x stand for in the formula?arrow_forwardSerine, an amino acid found in proteins, has a molecular weight of 105.10u and is represented by the formula CyH7NO3. What number does y stand for in the formula?arrow_forwardCoaSbOcXH2O is the general formula of a certain hydrate. When 43.0g of the compound is heated to drive off the water, 26.1g of anhydrous compound is left. Further analysis shows that the percentage composition by mass of the anhydrate is 42.4Co, 23.0S, and 34.6O. Find the empirical formula of a the anhydrous compound and b the hydrate. Hint: treat the anhydrous compound and water just as you treated elements in calculating X in the formula of the hydrate.arrow_forward
