When magnesium burns in air, a mixture of magnesium oxide and magnesium nitride, as
shown in the following reaction is produced. For each of the given reactions, identify the
substances that are reduced.
6. The oxidation number reflects the combining capacity of an ion or atom for
another ion or atom. Choose the oxidation number of chlorine in the bleach
sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).
0
-1
+1
-2
7. This organic compound, which has a workplace exposure limit of 1 ppm averaged
over an 8-hour workday, is produced by the catalytic dehydrochlorination of 1,2-
dichloroethane.
Polyurethane
PCB
Vinyl chloride
Acetylene
10. The half-life of Cobalt is 5.27 years. How many atoms of Cobalt-60 will remain
after 26.3 years if the source has 8 x 109 today?
8 x109
4 x 109
1.6 x108
2.5 x 108
11. Emergency responders for radioactive material incidents normally use the
inverse square law of radiation to estimate the separation distance from the
radioactive source. If a source has an intensity of 3.125 R/min at one foot from
the source, solve for the distance in feet to the 5 mR/min boundary. Show your
solution, including assumptions.
The Inverse Square Law states that the Intensity (I) of radiation is proportional to
the square distance from (d).
I1-3.125, I2-5MR/min, d1- 1 footd2= total of 3.125 x = d2 625 feet. I1/I2 +d1/d2 3.125
X 103 5 MR/min =√(feet =25 feet
12. The strength of different oxidizers varies. Using the information in Chapter 11 of
your textbook, arrange the oxidizers listed below according to their strengths
(begin with the strongest oxidizing agent).
Chlorine, Oxygen, Fluorine, Hydrogen Peroxide, concentrated Nitric Acid
1.FLUORINE
2.CHLORINE
3.OXYGEN
4.CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID
5.HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
13. The current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ceiling limit
for H2S is up to 20 ppm for general industry. If the H2S meter reads 35 mg/m3, is
this level above or below the ceiling limit? Show your conversion of the meter
reading to ppm. The atomic mass of H is 1.007, and S is 32.065. Show your
solution, including assumptions.
The ceiling for Hydrogen Sulfide is 20 which is set by OSHA.
The weight of H2S is 34.080 G/mol 2(1.007g) +32.065=34.079 rounded
up to .80 PPM
= (mg/m3) (24.45)/ (Molecular weight) 35/24.45)/(34.080)=25.11
PPM is 25.11
