Chapter L, Problem 58GQ
There are five hydrocarbon compounds (compounds of C and II) that have the formula C6H14. (These are isomers; they differ in the way that C and H atoms are attached. Chapter 23) All are liquids at room temperature but have slightly different densities.
(a) You have a pure sample of one of these hydrocarbons, and to identify it you decide to measure its density. You determine that a 5.0-mL sample (measured in a graduated cylinder) has a mass of 3.2745 g (measured on an analytical balance). Assume that the accuracy of the values for mass and volume is plus or minus one (± 1) in the last significant figure. What is the density of the liquid?
(b) Can you identify the unknown hydrocarbon based on your experiment?
(c) Can you eliminate any of the five possibilities based on the data? If so, which one(s)?
(d) You need a more accurate volume measurement to solve this problem, and you redetermine the volume to be 4.93 mL Based on this new informationwhat is the unknown compound?

- 62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forwardRefrigerators are usually kept at about 5ﾟC, when Room temperature is about 20ﾟC.

- The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in part by doing a famous experiment in 1775. In this experiment Lavoisier found that mercury(II) oxide, when heated, decomposed into liquid mercury and an invisible and previously unknown substance: oxygen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid mercury(II) oxide (HgO) into liquid mercury and gaseous dioxygen. 2. Suppose 53.0mL of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 50.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of mercury(II) oxide that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardWhile in Europe, if you drive 101 km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per liter and your car's gas mileage is 25.0 mi/gal ?

Imagine a column passing up through the atmosphere. The total amount of O3 in the column divided by its cross-sectional area is reported in Dobson units with 1 Du =0.4462 mmol m−2. What amount of O3 (in moles) is found in a column of atmosphere with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 dm2 if the abundance is 250 Dobson units (a typical midlatitude value)? In the seasonal Antarctic ozone hole, the column abundance drops below 100 Dobson units; how many moles of O3 are found in such a column of air above a 1.00 dm2 area? Most atmospheric ozone is found between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the Earth. If that ozone is spread uniformly through this portion of the atmosphere, what is the average molar concentration corresponding to (a) 250 Dobson units, (b) 100 Dobson units?arrow_forward
