PROBLEM SET

Instruction: Copy and answer the problem below clearly. Box your final answer. Submit this assignment on
Thursday (January 23, 2020) before our class starts. Read the Course Outline and Policy before you submit this
Problem Set.

1. The area of a telescope lens is 6322 mm2. (a) What is the area of the lens in square feet? (b) If it takes a
technician 45 s to polish 1 35 mm2, how long does it take her to polish the entire lens?
2. An empty Erlenmeyer flask weighs 24 1 .3 g. When filled with water (d = 1 .00 g/cm 3), the flask and its contents
weigh 489.1 g. (a) What is the flask's volume? (b) How much does the flask weigh when filled with chloroform
(d = 1 .48 g/cm3)?
3. A cylindrical tube 7.8 cm high and 0.85 cm in diameter is used to collect blood samples. How many cubic
decimeters (dm3) of blood can it hold?
4. An Olympic-size pool is 50.0 m long and 25.0 m wide. (a) How many gallons of water (d = 1.0 g/mL) are needed
to fill the pool to an average depth of 4.8 ft? (b) What is the mass (in kg) of water in the pool?
5. For the year 2002, worldwide production of aluminum was 24.4 million metric tons (t). (a) How many pounds
of aluminum were produced? (b) What was its volume in cubic feet (1t = 1 000 kg; d of aluminum = 2.70
g/cm3)?
6. The speed of sound varies according to the material through which it travels. Sound travels at 5.4X 103 cm/s
through rubber and at 1.9 7 X 1 04 ft/s through granite. Calculate each of these speeds in m/s.
7. Galena, a mineral of lead, is a compound of the metal with sulfur. Analysis shows that a 2.34-g sample of
galena contains 2.03 g of lead. Calculate the (a) mass of sulfur in the sample; (b) mass fractions of lead and
sulfur in galena; (c) mass percent of lead and sulfur in galena.
8. Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, Cl - 35 and Cl - 37. What is the mass number of each isotope?
How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are present in each?
9. Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes, Cu - 63 (isotopic mass 62.9396 amu) and Cu - 65 (isotopic mass
64.9278 amu). If copper has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu, what is the percent abundance of each isotope?
10. Give the name, atomic symbol, and group number of the element with the following Z value, and classify it as
a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal: (a) z = 33 (b) z = = 20 (c) z = 35 (d) z = 1 9 (e) z = 12
11. TNT (trinitrotoluene; below) is used as an explosive in construction. Calculate the mass of each element in 1.00
lb of TNT.
