Exam 3 Material
Homework Page Without Visible Answers
This page has all of the required homework for the material covered in the third exam of the first semester of General Chemistry. The textbook associated with this homework is CHEMISTRY The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, et.al. The last edition I required students to buy was the 12th edition (CHEMISTRY The Central Science, 12th ed. by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy and Woodward), but any edition of this text will do for this course.
Note: You are expected to go to the end of chapter problems in your textbook, find similar questions, and work out those problems as well. This is just the required list of problems for quiz purposes. You should also study the Exercises within the chapters. The exercises are worked out examples of the questions at the back of the chapter. The study guide also has worked out examples.
These are bare-bones questions. The textbook questions will have additional information that may be useful and that connects the problems to real life applications, many of them in biology.
Explanation:
Answer:
The final volume will be 5.80 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Number of moles gas = 0.140 moles
Volume of gas = 2.78 L
Number of moles added = 0.152 moles
Step 2: Calculate the final volume
V1/n1 = V2/n2
⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 2.78 L
⇒ with n1 = the initial number of moles = 0.140 moles
⇒ with V2 = The new volume = TO BE DETERMINED
⇒ with n2 = the new number of moles = 0.140 + 0.152 = 0.292 moles
2.78/0.140 = V2 /0.292
V2 = 5.80 L
The final volume will be 5.80 L
Answer to this is Radioactive isotopes.
Isotopes are the species of the same element having different atomic masses that means the number of protons remains the same but number of neutrons do differ. For example 
and 
are the two isotopes of Hydrogen (
).
Radioactive isotopes are the isotopes which release some kind of energy in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma radiation. Examples of each of the decay processes are :
Alpha Decay: In this decay one alpha particle having atomic mass 4 and atomic number 2 or we can say a He molecule will come out. 
Beta Decay: In this decay a 
particle is emitted increasing the atomic number of the reactant by 1 unit.
Gamma Radiation: In this type of reaction only radiation is emitted out which does not change the original molecule.
Answer:
So first thing to do in these types of problems is write out your chemical reaction and balance it:
Mg + O2 --> MgO
Then you need to start thinking about moles of Magnesium for moles of Magnesium Oxide. Based on the above equation 1 mole of Magnesium is needed to make one mole of Magnesium Oxide.
To get moles of magnesium you need to take the grams you started with (.418) and convert to moles by dividing by molecular weight of Mg (24.305), this gives you .0172 moles of Mg.
The theoretical yield would be the assumption that 100% of the magnesium will be converted into Magnesium Oxide, so you would get, based on the first equation, .0172 mol of MgO. Multiplying this by the molecular weight of MgO (24.305+16) gives us .693 g of MgO.
The percent yield is what you actually got in the experiment, and for this you subtract off the total mass from the crucible mass, or 27.374 - 26.687, which gives .66 g of MgO obtained.
Percent yield is acutal/theoretical, .66/.693, or 95.24%.
I'll let you do the same for the second trial, and average percent yield is just an average of the two trials percent yield.
Hope this helps.
