For each of the following samples of ionic substances, calculate the number of moles and mass of the positive ions present in each sample. l type="a"> 4.25 g of ammonium iodide, NH4I i>6.31 moles of ammonium sulfide, ( NH4)2S i>9.71 g of barium phosphide, Ba3P2 i>7.63 moles of calcium phosphate, Ca3( PO4)2
A binary compound of magnesium and nitrogen is analyzed, and 1.2791 g of the compound ¡s found to contain 0.9240 g of magnesium. When a second sample of this compound is treated with water and heated, the nitrogen is driven off as ammonia, leaving a compound that contains 60.31% magnesium and 39.69% oxygen by mass. Calculate the empirical formulas of the two magnesium compounds.
Suppose Avogadro’s number was 1000 instead of 6.0221023 . How, if at all, would this affect the relative masses on the periodic table? How, if at all, would this affect the absolute masses of the elements?
Determine a chemical formula from elemental analysis (i.e., from % composition).
Consider a sample of silver weighing 30OE0 g. How many at oms of silver are present in the sample? What mass of copper would you need for the copper sample to contain the same number of atoms as the silver sample?
f an average sodium atom weighs 22.99 amu, how many sodium atoms are contained in 1.981013 amu of sodium? What will 3.011023 sodium atoms weigh?
Analysis of a 10.0-g sample of apatite (a major component of tooth enamel) showed that it was made up of 3.99 g Ca, 1.85 g P, 4.14 g O, and 0.020 g H. List these elements based on relative amounts (moles), from smallest to largest.
There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. Heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with oxygen gas escaping into the atmosphere while leaving a residue of pure mercury. Heating 0.6498 g of one of the compounds leaves a residue of 0.6018 g. Heating 0.4172 g of the other compound results in a mass loss of 0.016 g. Determine the empirical formula of each compound.
A 1.680-g sample of coal contains 1.584 g C. Calculate the mass percentage of C in the coal.
A jar contains some number of jelly beans. To find out precisely how many are in the jar, you could dump them out and count them. How could you estimate their number without counting each one? (Chemists need to do just this kind of bean counting when they work with atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules are too small to count one by one, so chemists have worked out other methods to determine the number of atoms in a sample.)
