- On October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forwardHow do you distinguish (a) chemical properties from physical properties? (b) distillation from filtration? (c) a solute from a solution?arrow_forwardThe mole is the SI unit for the amount of a substance. The mass of one mole of pure table sugar is 342.3 grams. How many grams of sugar are in exactly 1/2 mole? What is the mass of 0.764 mole?arrow_forward
- The mass of an iron nail is measured before and after being placed in a beaker of water for 2 days. It is found that 0.059 g of iron (3) oxide (rust) was produced over the 2-day period. What mass of iron in the nail reacted with the water? Assume the nail is pure ironarrow_forwardIn your chemistry classes, you have probably learned that, in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products is equal to the mass of the reactants. That is, the mass of the substances produced in a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the substances consumed in the reaction. Is this absolutely true, or is there actually a small difference? Explain.arrow_forwardIn the SI system of units, the mole is one of seven base units. It is frequently used in chemical calculations. However, a mole of something is just a particular quantity of it. It is not a unit of measure in the way that meters, seconds, and kilograms are. Calculations performed with the number of moles of a substance could also be performed with the number of particles of a substance. Based on this information, do you think that the mole should be considered a base unit in the SI system? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward
- The use of freons is being phased out because of the damage these compounds do to the stratospheric ozone layer. One of the freons, CCl2F2, is manufactured from carbon tetrachloride and hydrogen fluoride. a. If a manufacturer wishes to convert 179 kg of carbon tetrachloride into CCl2F2, what is the minimum mass (in kg) of hydrogen fluoride required? b. What is the mass of CCl2F2 will be obtained if this reaction is 100 % efficient? c. What is the mass of HCl will be obtained if this reaction is 100 % efficient?arrow_forwardA student determined that his/her sample was 45.25% Cl-. If his/her original unknown sample weighed 0.5995 grams, what was the mass in grams of chloride in the unknown?arrow_forwardFranklin was performing an experiment by combining hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. He measured the mass of his reactant materials to be 35g. The reaction resulted in the production of salt and water. He reported that his products weighed 32g. Which best describes the results of Franklin’s experiment? No error occurred, some of the products are always lost as heat. An error occurred, the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products. An error occurred, the products should weigh more than the reactants. No error occurred, water is not weighed when determining the weight of the products.arrow_forward
- An engineer is working with archaeologists to create a realistic Roman village in a museum. The plan for a balancein a marketplace calls for 100 granite stones, each weighing 10 denarium. (The denarium was a Roman unit of mass:1 denarium = 3.396 g.) The manufacturing process for making the stones will remove 20% of the material. If the graniteto be used has a density of 2.75 g/cm3, what is the minimumvolume of granite that the engineer should order?arrow_forwardA student measures the mass of an iron nail to be 25 grams. The student heats the nail over a bunsen burner and measures the mass of the nail afterwards. The mass of the nail is found to be greater after burning. Which of the following best explains the increase in mass of the nail? A student measures the mass of an iron nail to be 25 grams. The student heats the nail over a bunsen burner and measures the mass of the nail afterwards. The mass of the nail is found to be greater after burning. Which of the following best explains the increase in mass of the nail? 1. Some of the heavier particles multiplied inside the nail. 2. Extra particles from the air were added to the nail during burning. 3. The reaction gave off less heat than was added. 4. The heat caused the compound to become more dense.arrow_forwardIn chemistry laboratories, it is faster and more convenient to measure out liquids by volume with pipets than by mass with an electronic balance. Therefore, when prepare solutions, volume ratio, instead of mass ratio is used sometimes. We can define a new term, volume % of a component, similar to mass % of a component. Let’s use a solution that is made of A and B as an example to explain this concept. If the volume % of A is 70%, the solution is made of 70 mL A with 30 mL B. A solution is prepared by mixing acetonitrile, CH3CN, and methanol, CH3OH, together. The volume percentage of acetonitrile is 35.84%. The density of acetonitrile is 0.786 g/mL and the density of methanol is 0.791 g/mL. Assume that the volume is additive. What is the mass percentage of acetonitrile in the solution? ____________% What is the molarity of the solution? __________ M What is the mole fraction of acetonitrile in the solution? ____________ What is the molality of the solution? __________ marrow_forward
