(a)
Interpretation:
The number of square meters in 1 kilometer needs to be deduced.
Concept introduction:
A ‘unit of measurement’ is a standard that is used to express the quantity being measured. For example: The SI unit for measuring distance or length is meters (m).
Mass is measured in terms of kilograms (kg).
Conversion factors are numbers that convert one unit of measurement to the other without changing the actual value.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of cubic centimeters in 1 cubic meter needs to be deduced.

- What mass of HCl is contained in 45.0 mL of an aqueous HCl solution that has a density of 1.19 g cm-3 and contains 37.21% HCl by mass?arrow_forwardLead poisoning has been a hazard for centuries. Some scholars believe that the decline of the Roman Empire can be traced, in part, to high levels of lead in water from containers and pipes, and from wine that was stored in leadglazed containers. If we presume that the typical Roman water supply was saturated with lead carbonate, PbCO3 (Ksp = 7.4 1014), how much lead will a Roman ingest in a year if he or she drinks 1 L/day from the container?arrow_forwardSilver ions can be found in some of the city water piped into homes. The average concentration of silver ions in city water is 0.028 ppm. (a) How many milligrams of silver ions would you ingest daily if you drank eight glasses (eight oz/glass) of city water daily? (b) How many liters of city water are required to recover 1.00 g of silver chemically?arrow_forward
- The equation for a reaction by which a solution of sodium carbonate may be standardized is 2HC7H5O2+Na2CO32NaC7H5O2+H2O+CO2. A student determines that 5.038g of HC7H5O2 uses 51.89mL of sodium carbonate solution in the titration. Find the molarity of the sodium carbonate.arrow_forwardCalcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?arrow_forwardYou wish to prepare 1 L of a 0.02-M potassium iodate solution. You require that the final concentration be within 1% of 0.02 M and that the concentration must be known accurately to the fourth decimal place. How would you prepare this solution? Specify the glassware you would use, the accuracy needed for the balance, and the ranges of acceptable masses of KIO3 that can be used.arrow_forward
- On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?arrow_forwardssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.arrow_forwardA student tries to determine experimentally the molar mass of aspirin (HAsp). She takes 1.00 g of aspirin, dissolves it in water, and neutralizes it with 17.6 mL of 0.315 M KOH. The equation for the reaction is HAsp(aq)+OH(aq)Asp(aq)+H2OWhat is the molar mass of aspirin?arrow_forward
