Chapter 1, Problem 1.153QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The surface area of two catalytic converters has to be calculated in
Concept Introduction:
Conversion-factor method is the one which can be used to convert one metric unit into another. With this, any unit can be converted to the another unit by means of ratio. The ratio that is used to convert unit is known as conversion-factor. For example, one kilogram can be converted into gram by multiplying with 1000.

The German chemist Fritz Haber proposed paying off the reparations imposed against Germany after World War I by extracting gold from seawater.
Given the following data, what was the dollar amount of the gold that could have been extracted from 3.0 m3 of seawater?
The price of gold at the time was $0.68 per gram of gold.
Gold occurs in seawater to the extent of 5.15 x 1011 atoms per gram of seawater.
The density of seawater is 1.03 g/cm3.
A sample of solid silver oxide with a mass of 11.4 grams was reduced to elemental silver by heating under a flow of methane gas, CH4. The reaction produced 10.6 grams of silver.
Write a balanced chemical reaction for the reaction between silver oxide and methane gas. The only products formed in the reaction are solid silver metal, carbon dioxide gas, and water vapor. Include the phases of each reactant and product.
You heat 2.53 grams of metallic mercury in air, which produces 2.73 grams of red-orange residue. Assume that the chemical change is the reaction of the metal with oxygen in the air.
What is the mass of oxygen that react? When you strongly heat the red- orange residue, it decomposes to give her back the mercury and release the oxygen, which you collect. What is the mass of oxygen you collected?

- The mass of magnesium used in this experiment is critical to determining the moles of hydrogen gas generated. The analytical balances used in Chemistry 1A labs are very sensitive to point that touching materials with your fingers before measuring them can affect the measurements. The balances are sensitive enough to detect dirt and oils from your fingers transferred to the magnesium. Would your experimental value of R increase or decrease if the mass of magnesium measured was artificially high due the touching it with your hands?
