Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
Consider the accompanying diagram. Ball A is allowed to fall and strike ball B. Assume that all of ball As energy is transferred to ball B at point I, and that there is no loss of energy to other sources. What is the kinetic energy and the potential energy of ball B at point II? The potential energy is given by PE = mgz, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s2), and z is the distance in meters.

For the reaction of the ammonium ion with nitrous acid, the net reaction is NH4*(aq) + HNO2(aq) → N2(g) + 2H2O() + H*(aq) If the initial concentration of nitrous acid is 1.00 M and, after 28.8 s has elapsed, the concentration of nitrous acid has fallen to 0.82 M, what is the average rate of the reaction over this time interval? 0.0063 M/s 0.028 M/s -0.0063 M/s -0.028 M/s O 0.063 M/s
The iodine "clock reaction" involves the following sequence of reactions occurring in a reaction mixture in a single beaker. IO3(aq) + 5I–(aq) + 6H+(aq) → 3I2(aq) + 3H2O(l) I2(aq) + 2S2O32–(aq) → 2I–(aq) + S4O62–(aq) The molecular iodine (I2) formed in reaction 1 is immediately used up in reaction 2, so that no iodine accumulates. In one experiment, a student made up a reaction mixture which initially contained 0.0020 mol of iodate ions (IO3−). If the iodate ions reacted completely, how many moles of thiosulfate ions (S2O32−) were needed in reaction 2, in order to react completely with the iodine (I2) produced in reaction 1?

Scientists can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbondating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts bitrogen toa radioactive isotope of carbon, C-14, with a half-life of about 5730 years. Vegetationabsorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere and animal life assimilates C-14 throughfood chains. When a plant or animal dies it stops replacing its carbon and the amount ofC-14 begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore, the level of radioactivitymust also exponentially decay. A parchment fragment was discovered that had about74% as much C-14 radioactivity as does plant material on the earth today. Estimate theage of the parchment.
