Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Ion that is likely to be formed from potassium has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Atoms of the element are neutral. They tend to lose or gain electrons in order to attain the stable octet configuration of the noble gas. Generally metals loses electrons and nonmetals gains electrons. Elements that are present in Group 1 to Group 13 tend to lose electrons until the noble-gas configuration of the noble gas present in previous period is attained. Elements that is present in Group 14 to Group 17 gain electron till the valence shell has the noble-gas electronic configuration. Metallic elements form cations while nonmetallic elements form anions.
Charge of the anion formed from main group element can be calculated by finding
(b)
Interpretation:
Ion that is likely to be formed from sulfur has to be given.

- 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_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of fish, in kilograms, that one would have to consume to obtain a fatal dose of mercury, if the fish contains 30 parts per million of mercury by weight? (Assume that all the mercury from the fish ends up as mercury (II) chloride in the body and that a fatal dose is 0.20 g of HgCl2.) How many pounds of fish is this?arrow_forward
- When calcium carbonate is heated strongly, it evolves carbon dioxide gas. CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) 25 g of CaCO3 is heated, what mass of CO2would be produced? What volume would this quantity of CO2 (CU at STP?arrow_forward4.19 How many metric tons of carbon are required to react with 7.83 metric tons of Fe2O3 according to the following reaction? 2Fe2O3+3C3CO2+4Fe How many metric tons of iron are produced?arrow_forwardNitric acid is produced commercially by the Ostwald process, represented by the following equations: 4NH3(g)+5O24NO(g)+6H2O(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)2HNO3(aq)+NO(g) What mass of NH3 must be used to produce 1.0 106 kg HNO3 by the Ostwald process? Assume 100% yield in each reaction, and assume that the NO produced in the third step is not recycled.arrow_forward
- Many cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?arrow_forwardComplete and balance the equations of the following reactions, each of which could be used to remove hydrogen sulfide from natural gas: (a) Ca(OH)2(s)+H2S(g) (b) Na2CO3(aq)+H2S(g)arrow_forwardEthanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.arrow_forward
