1f a piece of hard, white blackboard chalk is heated strongly in a flame, the mass of the piece of chalk will decrease, and eventually the chalk will crumble into a white dust. Does this change suggest that the chalk is composed of an element or a compound?
Calculate the average density of a single Al-27 atom by assuming that it is a sphere with a radius of 0.143 nm. The masses of a proton, electron, and neutron are 1.67261024g,9.10941028g, and 1.67491024g, respectively. The volume of a sphere is 4r3/3, where r is its radius. Express the answer in grams per cubic centimeter. The density of aluminum is found experimentally to be 2.70 g/cm3. What does that suggest about the packing of aluminum atoms in the metal?

2.95 Engineers who design bicycle frames are familiar with the densities of aluminium (2.699 g/cm3), steel (7.87 g/cm3), and titanium (4.507 g/cm3). How does this information compare with Figure 2.12, and what would it suggest for changes in this figure if more shades were used for the density colour-coding? (Iron is the principal component of steel)
An atom of krypton has a radius Kr 88. pm and an average speed in the gas phase at 25°C of 172.m/s. Suppose the speed of a krypton atom at 25°C has been measured to within 1.0%. Calculate the smallest possible length of box inside of which the atom could be known to be located with certainty. Ikr Kr Write your answer as a multiple of and round it to 2 significant figures. For example, if the smallest box the atom could be in turns out to be 42.0 times the radius of an atom of krypton, you would enter "42.1k" as your answer. Kr x10 × Ś
