The molar mass of hemoglobin is approximately 64,500 g/mol and there is 4 mol iron per 1 mol hemoglobin. A news item claims that there is sufficient iron in the hemoglobin of the body that this iron, if it were in the form of metallic iron, could make a 3-in. iron nail that weighs approximately 3.7 g.

- 3.83 For the reaction of nitrogen, N2, and hydrogen, H2, to form ammonia, NH3, a student is attempting to draw a particulate diagram, as shown below. Did the student draw a correct representation of the reaction? If not, what was the error the student made?arrow_forward3.68 Magnesium is lighter than other structural metals, so it is increasingly important in the design of more efficient vehicles. Mg2+ ions are present in seawater, and the metal is often prepared by "harvesting" these ions and converting them to Mg metal. The average magnesium content of the oceans is about 1270 g Mg2+ per ton of seawater, and the density of seawater is about 1.03 g/mL. What is the molarity of Mg2+ ions in seawater? The design for a concept car calls for 103 kg of magnesium per vehicle. How many gallons of seawater would be required to supply enough magnesium to build one of these ears?arrow_forwardThere 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?arrow_forward

How many molecules of aspartame are present in this volume? (c) How many hydrogen atoms are present in 1.00 mg of aspartame? (d) Complete the skeletal structure of aspartame, where all the bonded atoms are shown but double bonds, triple bonds, and/or lone pairs are missing. (e) Identify the various types of geometries present in each central atom of aspartame using VSEPR theory. (f) Determine the various relative bond angles associated with each central atom of aspartame using VSEPR theory. (g) What is the most polar bond in aspartame? (h) Would you predict aspartame to be polar or nonpolar? (i) Is aspartame expected to possess resonance? Explain why or why not. (j) Consider the combustion of aspartame, which results in formation of NO2(g) as well as other expected products. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (k) Calculate the weight of C02(g) that can be prepared from 1.62 g of aspartame mixed with 2.11 g of oxygen gas.arrow_forwardName and give symbols for three transition metals in the fourth period.

Also list the uses of each element.arrow_forwardThe present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forward
- 3.107 As computer processor speeds increase, it is necessary for engineers to increase the number of circuit elements packed into a given area. Individual circuit elements are often connected using very small copper “wires” deposited directly onto the surface of the chip. In some processors, these copper interconnects are about 22 nm wide. How many copper atoms would be in a 1-mm length of such an interconnect, assuming a square cross section?
