You and your lab partner are asked to determine the density of an aluminum bar. The mass is known accurately to 4 significant fi

gures. You use a simple metric ruler to determine its size and calculate the results in column A. Your partner (using a precision micrometer for the first time) obtains the results in column B. (The accepted density of aluminum is 2.702 g/cm3.)
Method A results (g/cm3) Method B results (g/cm3)

2.2 2.603

2.3 2.601

2.7 2.605

2.4 2.611

Calculate the average density for each method.

Answer:

Average density for method A = 2.4 g/cm³

Average density for method B = 2.605 g/cm³

Explanation:

In order to calculate the average density for each method, we need to add the data for each method, and then divide the result by the number of measurements (in this case is 4 for both methods):

  • For Method A:

Σ = 2.2 + 2.3 + 2.7 + 2.4 = 9.6

Average = 9.6/4 = 2.4 g/cm³

  • For Method B:

Σ = 2.603 + 2.601 + 2.605 + 2.611 = 10.420

Average = 10.420/4 = 2.605 g/cm³

Use the standard reaction enthalpies given below to determine ΔH°rxn for the following reaction:P4(g) + 10 Cl2(g) → 4PCl5(s) ΔH°
miskamm [114]

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1835 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

P_4(g)+10Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_5(s)      \Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) PCl_5(s)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)    \Delta H_1=157kJ   ( × 4)

(2) P_4(g)+6Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_3(g)     \Delta H_2=-1207kJ

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[4\times (-\Delta H_1)]+[1\times \Delta H_2]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(4\times (-157))+(1\times (-1207))=-1835kJ

Hence, the \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1835 kJ.

The density of thorium, which has the FCC structure, is 11.72 g/cm3. The atomic weight of thorium is 232 g/mol. Calculate (a) th
seropon [69]

Answer:

(a) a = 5.08x10⁻⁸ cm

(b) r = 179.6 pm  

Explanation:

(a) The lattice parameter "a" can be calculated using the following equation:

\rho = \frac{(N atoms/cell)*m}{V_{c}*N_{A}}      

<em>where ρ: is the density of Th = 11.72 g/cm³, N° atoms/cell = 4, m: is the atomic weight of Th = 232 g/mol, Vc: is the unit cell volume = a³, and </em>N_{A}<em>: is the Avogadro constant = 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol. </em>

Hence the lattice parameter is:  

a^{3} = \frac{(N atoms/cell)*m}{\rho *N_{A}} = \frac{4 atoms*232 g/mol}{11.72 g/cm^{3} *6.023 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol} = 1.32 \cdot 10^{-22} cm^{3}

a = \sqrt[3]{1.32 \cdot 10^{-22} cm^{3}} = 5.08 \cdot 10^{-8} cm

(b) We know that the lattice parameter of a FCC structure is:

a = \frac{4r}{\sqrt{2}}

<em>where r: is the atomic radius of Th</em>

Hence, the atomic radius of Th is:

r = \frac{a*\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{5.08 \cdot 10^{-8} cm*\sqrt{2}}{4} = 1.796 \cdot 10^{-8} cm = 179.6 pm    

I hope it helps you!

It is dangerous to have over 1.3 ppm of copper (Cu) in drinking water. A small town investigates their water supply and finds th
lianna [129]

Answer:

The town should find a new source of water.

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert the mass of copper to milligrams

We will use the conversion factor 1 g = 1000 mg.

0.002 g × (1000 mg/1 g) = 2 mg

Step 2: Convert the mass of solution to kilograms

We will use the conversion factor 1 kg = 1000 g.

1000 g × (1 kg/1000 g) = 1 kg

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of Cu in ppm (mg/kg)

2 mg/1 kg = 2 ppm

This is over 1.3 ppm, so the town should find a new source of water.
