Students have asked these similar questions
(a) Atoms are very small compared to objects on the macroscopic scale. The radius of a aluminum atom is 143
pm. What is this value in meters and in centimeters?
m
cm
(b) The mass of a single aluminum atom is 4.48×10-23 g. Suppose enough Al atoms were lined up like beads on
a string to span a distance of 37.7 cm (15 inches). How many atoms would be required?
atoms
What mass in grams of Al would be used?
g
Could you weigh out this amount of aluminum using a typical laboratory balance?
(c) Taking the density of aluminum metal to be 2.70 g/cm³, calculate the mass of metal needed to form a piece of
Al wire with the same length as the distance in b, but with a diameter of 1.00 mm. Hint: The volume of a cylinder is
n times its radius squared times its height. (V = n r² h)
How many aluminum atoms does this represent?
g
atoms
3. The radius of an atom of gold (Au) is
about 1.35 A°. (a) Express this distance in
nanometers (nm) and in picometers (pm).
(b) How many gold atoms would have to
be lined up to span 1.0 mm? (c) If the
atom is assumed to be a sphere, what is
the
volume in cm3 of a single Au atom? (Note:
unit A is angstrom).
One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride
anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate.
Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution
like this:
FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq)
3 AgCl(s) +
Fe(NO3),(a9)
The chemist adds 56.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds
she has collected 2.8 mg of silver chloride.
Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant
digits.
