Concept Introduction:
Metals are elements that have characteristic properties of thermal conductivity, luster, electrical conductivity, and malleability. Except mercury, the physical state of all other metals is solids. They have very high melting points and high density.
Nonmetals are elements that are characterized by the absence of properties like thermal conductivity, luster, electrical conductivity, and malleability. Mostly nonmetals are gases. Only bromine is present as liquid in room temperature. The density of nonmetals is low and they have lower melting points than metals.
Metalloids are elements that possess both metallic and nonmetallic properties.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Assume that the radius of Earth is 6400 km, the crust is 50. km thick, the density of the crust is 3.5 g/cm3, and 25.7% of the crust is silicon by mass. Calculate the total mass of silicon in the crust of Earth.arrow_forwardGiven that the density of argon is 1.78 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions 4.0 m 5.0 m 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions of temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of fish, in kilograms, that one would have to consume to obtain a fatal dose of mercury, if the fish contains 30 parts per million of mercury by weight? (Assume that all the mercury from the fish ends up as mercury (II) chloride in the body and that a fatal dose is 0.20 g of HgCl2.) How many pounds of fish is this?arrow_forward

(b) How might you find the mass of the missing material? 14. Hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc. The chemical equation for this reaction is Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) a) Classify this reaction. (b) Name the product that forms bubbles in this reaction. How do you know? c) How does the mass of zinc metal change as the reaction proceeds? d) What does the (aq) symbol in the equation mean? 24.

Begin by writing a balanced equation for this neutralization reactionarrow_forwardOne way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq) 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO3),(a9) The chemist adds 56.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 2.8 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample.

- The hardness of water (hardness count) is usually expressed in parts per million (by mass) of CaCO3, which is equivalent to milligrams of CaCO3 per liter of water. What is the molar concentration of Ca2+ ions in a water sample with a hardness count of 175 mg CaCO3/L? Write the answer in scientific notation like this 1.23 x 10^4 M.arrow_forwardWrite the chemical reaction of Iron Sulfide (FeS2) to create Sulfuric acid in mines. It reacts with O2 in the air and 02 saturated in water.arrow_forwardA compound is composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. When a 1.500-g sample of the compound is completely combusted, it yields 1.476 g of CO2and 0.605 g of H2O. In a separate analysis to determine nitrogen, 1.500 g of the compound is found to produce 0.313 g of N2. (a) Calculate the mass percent of each element in the compound. (b) Determine the empirical formula of the compound. (c) If the compound has a molar mass of 134 g/mol, what is the molecular formula?arrow_forward

You notice bubbles as a reaction takes place. You then weigh the resulting solution and find that it has a mass of 78.88 g g . The relevant equation is CaCO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→H 2 O(l)+CO 2 (g)+CaCl 2 (aq) CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)→H2O(l)+CO2(g)+CaCl2(aq) Assuming no other reactions take place, what mass of CO 2 CO2 was produced in this reaction?arrow_forwardThe elements of Group 1-B (Cu, Ag, and Au) are sometimes referred to as the “coinage metals.” Why?
