Chemistry: The Molecular Science
- Classify each of the following properties of the metal magnesium as a physical property or a chemical property. a. Silvery-white in color b. Does not react with cold water c. Melts at 651C d. Finely divided form burns in oxygen with a dazzling white flamearrow_forward2.95 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)arrow_forwardThe element oxygen has three naturally occurring isotopes, with 8,9, and 10 neutrons in the nucleus, respectively. (a) write the full chemical symbols for these three isotopes. (b) Describe the similarities and differences between the three kinds of atoms of oxygen.arrow_forward
- (b) A certain element has two naturally occurring isotopes. The mass of one of the isotopes is 106.905 amu and its natural abundance is 51.60%. The mass of the second isotope is 108.883 amu. Calculate the average atomic mass Write the chemical symbols of the isotopesarrow_forwardIn the periodic table, calcium, element 20, is surrounded by elements 12 magnesium , 19 potassium, 21 scandium, and 38 strontium. Which of these have physical and chemical properties most resembling calcium?arrow_forwardThe following diagram represents a chemical reaction in which the red spheres are oxygen atoms and the blue spheres are nitrogen atoms. (a) Write the chemical formulas for the reactants and products. (b) Write a balanced equation for the reaction. (c) Is the diagram consistent with the law of conservation of mass?arrow_forward

Chemical analyses demonstrate that in one sample of A, 9.12 g of carbon are combined with 0.766 g of hydrogen, and in one sample of B, 5.3 g of carbon are combined with 1.33 g of hydrogen, (a) Are these results consistent with the law of multiple proportions? (b) Write reasonable empirical formulas for these compounds. (C:12, g/mol H:1 g/mol)arrow_forward
- Use the box color(s) in the periodic table below to identify the element(s) described by each of the following: (a) Four elements that are nonmetals (b) Two elements that are metals (c) Three elements that are gases at room temperaturearrow_forward(b) Complete the sentences by crossing out the words that are wrong. The first one has been done for you. Nan-Metals Metals can be hammered into shape. Non-Metals Metals often have low melting point. Non-Metals Metals are good conductors of heat.arrow_forward(b) A certain element has two naturally occurring isotopes. The mass of one of the isotopes is 106.905 amu and its natural abundance is 51.60%. The mass of the second isotope is 108.883 amu. Calculate the average atomic mass Write the chemical symbols of the isotopes (c) An organic compound consists of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur only. The percentage of carbon by mass in this compound wąs found to be 30.27%. The complete combustion of 1.367 g this compound produces 1.765 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) (i) Determine the empirical formula for this compound. (ii) If a sample of this compound having the mass 3.781 x 103 mg contains 9.528 x 10-3 moles of the compound, determine the molecular formula.arrow_forward
