Get started for freeConsider the reaction $$\mathrm{MnO}_{2}+4 \mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow \mathrm{MnCl}_{2}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} $$If 0.86 mole of \(\mathrm{MnO}_{2}\) and \(48.2 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) react, which reactant will be used up first? How many grams of \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) will be produced?
Titanium(IV) oxide \(\left(\mathrm{TiO}_{2}\right)\) is a white substance produced by the action of sulfuric acid on the mineral ilmenite \(\left(\mathrm{FeTiO}_{3}\right)\) $$\mathrm{FeTiO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \longrightarrow\mathrm{TiO}_{2}+\mathrm{FeSO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$Its opaque and nontoxic properties make it suitable as a pigment in plastics and paints. In one process, \(8.00 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg}\) of \(\mathrm{FeTiO}_{3}\) yielded \(3.67 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg}\) of \(\mathrm{TiO}_{2} .\) What is the percent yield of the reaction?
A compound containing only \(\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{H},\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}\) was examined in a mass spectrometer. The highest mass peak seen corresponds to an ion mass of 52 amu. The most abundant mass peak seen corresponds to an ion mass of 50 amu and is about three times as intense as the peak at 52 amu. Deduce a reasonable molecular formula for the compound and explain the positions and intensities of the mass peaks mentioned.
Calculate the percent composition by mass of all the elements in calcium phosphate \(\left[\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}\right],\) a major component of bone.
(a) For molecules having small molecular masses, mass spectrometry can be used to identify their formulas. To illustrate this point, identify the molecule that most likely accounts for the observation of a peak in a mass spectrum at 16 amu, 17 amu, 18 amu, and 64 amu. (b) Note that there are (among others) two likely molecules that would give rise to a peak at 44 amu, namely, \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}\) and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2} .\) In such cases, a chemist might try to look for other peaks generated when some of the molecules break apart in the spectrometer. For example, if a chemist sees a peak at 44 amu and also one at 15 amu, which molecule is producing the 44 -amu peak? Why? (c) Using the following precise atomic masses \(-\mathrm{H}\) ( 1.00797 amu), \({ }^{12} \mathrm{C}(12.00000 \mathrm{amu}),\) and \({ }^{16} \mathrm{O}(15.99491 \mathrm{amu})-\) how precisely must the masses of \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}\) and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\), be measured to distinguish between them?
