Copper:
(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 × 10–22 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.

- On October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forward3.37 If atypical grain of sand occupies a volume of 1.3 × 10-4 cm3, what is the volume (in cm3) of 1 mole of sand (ignoring the space between grains)?

- The use of freons is being phased out because of the damage these compounds do to the stratospheric ozone layer. One of the freons, CCl2F2, is manufactured from carbon tetrachloride and hydrogen fluoride. a. If a manufacturer wishes to convert 179 kg of carbon tetrachloride into CCl2F2, what is the minimum mass (in kg) of hydrogen fluoride required? b. What is the mass of CCl2F2 will be obtained if this reaction is 100 % efficient? c.
