Chemistry 103 Section 1

EXAM #1--60 min.

IMPORTANT NOTE--For partial credit be sure to show your reasoning. Sometimes your instructor may go to heroic lengths to give you partial credit if you show work that is both legible logical. If you need more paper, write on the back of the page and indicate clearly that you have done so. Units and significant figures are important!

Look over all questions before starting and plan your time wisely.

There will be no partial credit on Problem 1.

Problem 2-- (20 pts)

a) In Rutherford's famous experiment alpha particles were shot at a piece of thin gold foil. What important conclusion was about the structure of the atom was reached based on this experiment?

 

 

 

Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus. The atom is mostly empty space.

 

b) C6O6H12 (s) + 6O2 (g) à 6CO2(g) + 6H2O (l) DH/mole glucose =?

What are the values that you need to know ahead of time and the values that you need to measure in order to calculate the enthalpy of the combustion reaction above? You may use words or words and symbols (but not symbols alone). Assume you have a water jacketed bomb colorimeter similar to that shown in the text and in lecture.

Problem 3 (20 points)

In order to make a buffered solution, a biochemist weighs out 40.0 grams of glycine , C2O2NH4 and dissolves it in a liter of water. She then removes 5.00 mL of the solution and mixes it with 95.0 mL of water. Finally she removes 5.00 mL of this second solution and mixes it with 95.0 mL of water.

What is the glycine concentration of the final solution?

This is a dilution problem.

To 3 s. f.

Molar mass of glycine is 74.0 g/mol

40.0 g ( 1 mole/ 74.0 g ) / 1 Liter = 0.54 M Solution 1

0.54 M ( 5mL / (5 + 95 mL) = 0.027 M Solution 2

0.027 M (( 5mL / (5 + 95 mL) = 0.00135 M Solution 3

Problem 4 (20 points)

The reaction below uses highly pure reagents to produce silicon for silicon chips used for computers and calculators.

1 metric ton = 1000 kg

Si Cl4 (s) + H2 (g) à Si (s) + HCl (g)

  1. What kind of reaction is this? Why?
  2. Redox --Si goes from +4 to 0 and is reduced. H goes from 0 to +1 and is oxidized.

     

  3. Knowing that the reaction vessel gets warm as the reaction proceeds, draw an energy diagram and state whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic.
  4. _________reactants

    Energy exothermic.

    __________ products

     

  5. How much pure silicon could be produced from 2.30 metric tons of Si Cl4 and 2.00 metric tons of H2?
  6. Limiting reagenat problem--you are given information to calculate the number of moles of both reactans.

    2.3 tons SiCl4 x (1mole/170.1 g) = 13500 moles

    2.00 tons H2 x (1 mole / 2 g) = 10^6 moles

    SiCl4 is the limiting reagent

    13500 moles SiCl4 x 28.1 g /mole = 0.38 tons Si produced same number of moles of SiCl4 and Si).

     

  7. How many tons of acid would have to be disposed of, recycled, or sold?

4 x 13500 moles HCl = 54000 moles HCl

54000 mole x 36.5 g /mole = 1.97 tons HCl

 

Problem 5 (20 pts)

The United States Environmental Protection Agency, US EPA, in now deciding whether to lower the current standard of 50 ppb arsenic in drinking water. They have reanalyzed their epidemiological data and found that when using appropriate control comparisons a level of 10 ppb causes 1.3 to 3.7 extra cancer cases per 1000 people.

  1. Knowing that 1 ppb is 1 gram arsenic per billion grams of water, calculate the MOLAR concentration of arsenic for the 10 ppb suggested standard.
  2. 1 billion = 109

    10 ppb = 1- x 1 g As / 10^9 g H2O x 1 mole As/ 74.9 g As x 1 g H2O/ 1 mL H2O x 1 mL H2O / 10 ^-3 L = 1.33 x 106-7 M

     

  3. A liter bottle of your favorite water would contain how many arsenic atoms?

1.33 x 106-7 M x 6.02 x 10^23 atoms/ mole = 8.01 x 10^16 atoms.
