Nguyen Quoc Hung Homework 6: Chemistry 1.Is aging primarily an example of a physical or chemical change? 2. Two fluorine atoms join together to form a covalent bond. Why don’t two potassium atoms do the same thing? 3. Why doesn’t the neon atom tend to lose or gain any electrons? 4. Water, H2O, and methane, CH4, have about the same mass and differ by only one type of atom. Why is the boiling point of water so much higher than that of methane? 5.Which is stronger: the covalent bond that holds atoms together within a molecule or the electrical attraction between two neighboring molecules? 6.You drink a small glass of water that is 99.9999% pure water and 0.0001% some poison. Assume the glass contains about 1,000,000 million trillion molecules, which is about 30 mL. How many poison molecules did you just drink? Should you be concerned? 7.How might you separate a mixture of sand and salt? How about a mixture of iron and sand? 8.If table sugar is white, why is a solution of table sugar in water transparent? 9.The boiling point of 1,4-butanediol is 230°C. Would you expect this compound to be soluble or insoluble in room temperature water? Why? 10. How many gold atoms are there in a 5.00 g sample of pure gold, Au (197 amu)? 11. Why do sugar crystals dissolve faster when crushed? 12. How many grams of water, H2O, and propene, C3H6, can be formed from the reaction of 6.0 g of 2-propanol, C3H8O + C3H8O -> C3H6 + H2O 13. Use the bond energies (find it in the textbook) and determine whether these reactions are exothermic or endothermic: H2 + Cl2 -> 2 HCl 2HC CH + 5O2 -> 4CO2 + 2H2O 14. If it takes 436 kJ to break a bond, how many kilojoules are released when the same bond is formed? 15. How much sodium chloride, in grams, is needed to make 15 L of a solution that has a concentration of 3.0 g of sodium chloride per liter of solution? 16. Balance these equations: (a) ____ Fe(s) + ____ O2(g) S ____ Fe2O3(s) (b) ____ H2(g) + ____ N2(g) S ____ NH3(g) (c) ____ Cl2(g) + ____ KBr(aq) S ____ Br2(l ) + ____ KCI(aq) (d) ____ CH4(g) + ____ O2(g) S ____ CO2(g ) + ____ H2O(l ) 17. How many moles of molecules are there in each of the following? (a) 28 grams of nitrogen, N2 (b) 32 grams of oxygen, O2 (c) 32 grams of methane, CH4 18. Chlorine is put into the atmosphere by volcanoes in the form of hydrogen chloride, HCl, but this form of chlorine does not remain in the atmosphere for very long. Why? 19. In the laboratory, endothermic reactions are usually preformed at elevated temperatures, whereas exothermic reactions are usually performed at lower temperatures. What are some possible reasons for this? 20. Chlorine is put into the atmosphere by volcanoes in the form of hydrogen chloride, HCl, but this form of chlorine does not remain in the atmosphere for very long. Why? 21. Why do exothermic reactions typically favor the formation of products? 22. How many moles of atoms are there in each of the following: (a) 28 grams of nitrogen, N2 (b) 32 grams of oxygen, O2 (c) 16 grams of methane, CH4 (d) 38 grams of fluorine, F2 23. Bubbling carbon dioxide into water causes the pH of the water to go down (become more acidic) because of the formation of carbonic acid. Will the pH also drop when carbon dioxide is bubbled into a solution of 1 M hydrochloric acid, HCl? 24. Unsaturated fatty acids, such as C12H22O2, react with hydrogen gas, H2, to form saturated fatty acids, such as C12H24O2. Are the unsaturated fatty acids being oxidized or reduced through this process?
