- 2.71 Use the web to determine the amount of low-density polyethylene and high-density polyethylene produced annually in the United States. Which uses predominate in the applications of these two materials?arrow_forwardAn element X bas five major isotopes, which are listed below along with their abundances. What is the element? Isotope Percent Natural Abundance Mass (u) 46x 8.00% 45.95232 47x 7.30% 46.951764 48x 73.80% 47.947947 49x 5.50% 48.947841 50x 5.40% 49.944792arrow_forwardDiamond is a natural form of pure carbon. What number of atoms of carbon are in a 1.00-carat diamond (1.00 carat = 0.200 g)?arrow_forward
- What is acompound? What are compounds composed of? What is true about the composition of a compound, no matter where we happen to find the compound?arrow_forwardExplain the termselement, afoul, and compound. Provide an example and microscopic drawing of each.arrow_forwardA 12.1-g sample of Na2SO3 is mixed with a 14.6-g sample of MgSO4. What is the total mass of oxygen present in the mixture?arrow_forward
- A compound associated with the odor of garlic on a persons breath has the chemical formula CyH8S and a formula mass of 88.19 amu. What number does y stand for in the chemical formula of the compound?arrow_forwardCopper: (a) Suppose you have a cube of copper metal that is 0.236 cm on a side with a mass of 0.1206 g. If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 1022 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how many atoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Or conversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there empty space in the lattice? (b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper. Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960 g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unit.arrow_forward
