- The age of the universe is unknown, but some conclude from measuring Hubbles constant that the age is about 18 billion years old, which is about four times the age of Earth. If so, calculate the age of the universe in seconds. If you had a sample of carbon with the same number of carbon atoms as there have been seconds since the universe began, determine whether you could measure this sample on a laboratory balance that can detect masses as small as 0.1 mg.arrow_forwardReference Section 5-2 to find the atomic masses of 12C and 13C, the relative abundance of 12C and 13C in natural carbon, and the average mass (in u) of a carbon atom. If you had a sample of natural carbon containing exactly 10,000 atoms, determine the number of 12C and 13C atoms present. What would be the average mass (in u) and the total mass (in u) of the carbon atoms in this 10,000-atom sample? If you had a sample of natural carbon containing 6.0221 1023 atoms, determine the number of 12C and 13C atoms present What would be the average mass (in u) and the total mass (in u) of this 6.0221 1023 atom sample? Given that 1 g = 6.0221 1023 u, what is the total mass of I mole of natural carbon in units of grams?arrow_forward3.116 The simplest approximate chemical formula for the human body could be written as C728H4850O1970N104Ca24P16K4S4Na3Cl2Mg.

- Mass spectrometric analysis showed that there are four isotopes of an unknown element having the following masses and abundances: Three elements in the periodic table that have atomic weights near these values are lanthanum (La), atomic number 57, atomic weight 138.9055; cerium (Ce), atomic number 58, atomic weight 140.115; and praseodymium (Pr), atomic number 59, atomic weight 140.9076. Using the data above, calculate the atomic weight, and identify the element if possible.arrow_forwardThe isotope of an unknown element, X, has a mass number of 79. The most stable ion of the isotope has 36 electrons and forms a binary compound with sodium, having a formula of Na2X. Which of the following statements is(are) true? For the false statements, correct them. a. The binary compound formed between X and fluorine will be a covalent compound. b. The isotope of X contains 38 protons. c. The isotope of X contains 41 neutrons. d. The identity of X is strontium, Sr.arrow_forwardElement X has an unstable nucleus due to an over-abundance of neutrons. Which of the following is likely to occur? I Element X will undergo radioactive decay II Element X will remain an unstable radioactive element III Element X will gain more protons to balance the neutrons it possesses IV Element X will spontaneously lose energyarrow_forward
- Let’s say you were doing an experiment on two different chemicals in two different test tubes. One chemical is giving off oxygen gas or hydrogen gas the other is giving off carbon dioxide gas. What one test could you do in each test tube that would prove which is giving off the oxygen or hydrogen and which is giving off the carbon dioxide?arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution .....arrow_forwardA chemist is testing for lead content in water samples taken downstream from a battery manufacturing plant. Health Canada suggests that drinking water should have a maximum lead content of 0.010 mg/L of water. If a test reveals that a 1 L water sample contains 3.1 × 1017 atoms of lead, is the water safe to drink? Explain.arrow_forward

Each element has a unique number of protons. For example, an atom with 47 protons is always a silver atom and has an atomic number of 47. The atomic number is used to distinguish different elements from one another. The mass number A is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. Atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isofopes. For example, all atoms with atomic number 8 are carbon atoms, but carbon atoms with mass numbers of 12 and 13 are isotopes of one another. Each element is assigned a unique chemical symbol. For example, the symbol for hydrogen is H. and the symbol for oxygen is 0. Some elements have symbols based…arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of (2.66x10^21) platinum atoms?arrow_forward
