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?
3.68 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?
hat do the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation tell us about the proportions in which atoms and molecules react on an individual (microscopic) basis?
The element magnesium reacts with the element oxygen to form a white solid compound, magnesium oxide. When a sample of magnesium that weighs 24.30 g reacts with oxygen, it is found that the magnesium oxide produced weighs exactly 40.30 g. (a) Calculate the mass of oxygen in the magnesium oxide. (b) Calculate the mass of magnesium oxide that could be produced from 40.0 g magnesium.
When corn is allowed to ferment, the fructose in the corn is converted to ethyl alcohol according to the following reaction C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(l)+2CO2(g)(a) What volume of ethyl alcohol (d=0.789g/mL) is produced from one pound of fructose? (b) Gasohol can be a mixture of 10 mL ethyl alcohol and 90 mL of gasoline. How many grams of fructose are required to produce the ethyl alcohol in one gallon of gasohol?
Two general chemistry students working together in the lab weigh out 0.832 g of CaCl2 2 H2O into a crucible. After heating the sample for a short time and allowing the crucible to cool, the students determine that the sample has a mass of 0.739 g. They then do a quick calculation. On the basis of this calculation, what should they do next? (a) Congratulate themselves on a job well done. (b) Assume the bottle of CaCl2 2 H2O was mislabeled; it actually contained something different. (c) Heat the crucible again, and then reweigh it.
Magnesium ribbon reacts with acid to produce hydro- gen gas and magnesium ions. Different masses of magnesium ribbon are added to 10 mL of the acid. The volume of the hydrogen gas obtained is a measure of the number of moles of hydrogen produced by the reaction. Various measurements are given in the table below. (a) Draw a graph of the results by plotting the mass of Mg versus the volume of the hydrogen gas. (b) What is the limiting reactant in experiment 1? (c) What is the limiting reactant in experiment 3? (d) What is the limiting reactant in experiment 6? (e) Which experiment uses stoichiometric amounts of each reactant? (f) What volume of gas would be obtained if 0.300 g of Mg ribbon were used? If 0.010 g were used?
