65
Q

According to one theory, the pressure of a gas increases as its volume decreases because the molecules in the gas have to move a shorter distance to hit the walls of the container. Does this theory follow a macroscopic or microscopic description of chemical behavior? Explain your answer.

A

Microscopic, because it calls for one to “imagine” this theory and gas molecules are described in a way that applies to the microscopic domain.

66
Q

The amount of heat required to melt 2 lbs of ice is twice the amount of heat required to melt 1 lb of ice. Is this observation a macroscopic or microscopic description of chemical behavior? Explain your answer.

A

Macroscopic, because the heat required is determined from macroscopic properties.

67
Q

Why do we use an object’s mass, rather than its weight, to indicate the amount of matter it contains?

A

Weight is a factor of gravity (which can change depending on where something is located) and measuring by mass directly measures the amount of matter something contains regardless of where it is located.

68
Q

What properties distinguish solids from liquids? Liquids from gases? Solids from gases?

A

Liquids can change their shape (flow); solids can’t.
Gases can undergo large volume changes as pressure changes; liquids do not.
Gases flow and change volume; solids do not.

Both have the same composition from point to point.

71
Q

The mixture can have a variety of compositions; a pure substance has a definite composition. Both have the same composition from point to point.

A

Both are forms of pure substances that have a constant composition.

72
Q

How do molecules of elements and molecules of compounds differ? In what ways are they similar?

A

Molecules of elements contain only one type of atom; molecules of compounds contain two or more types of atoms.

They are similar in that both are comprised of two or more atoms chemically bonded together.

73
Q

How does an atom differ from a molecule? In what ways are they similar?

79
Q

Why are astronauts in space said to be “weightless,” but not “massless”?

A

Anything that takes up space (an astronaut) and has mass contains matter. They can’t be matter-less but can be weightless because they are not forced to the ground by a gravitational force.

80
Q

(b) If the mass of the iron nail increases to 24.1 g, what mass of oxygen combined with the iron?

A

(a) Increased, because it would have combined with oxygen in the air thus increasing the amount of matter and therefore the mass.
(b) 0.9 g

83
Q

As stated in the text, convincing examples that demonstrate the law of conservation of matter outside of the laboratory are few and far between. Indicate whether the mass would increase, decrease, or stay the same for the following scenarios where chemical reactions take place:

90
Q

Explain the difference between extensive properties and intensive properties.

A

The value of an extensive property depends on the amount of matter being considered, whereas the value of an intensive property is the same regardless of the amount of matter being considered.

91
Q

Identify the following properties as either extensive or intensive.
(a) volume
(b) temperature
(c) humidity
(d) heat
(e) boiling point

A

(a) Extensive
(b) Intensive
(c) Extensive
(d) Extensive
(e) Intensive

92
Q

The density (d) of a substance is an intensive property that is defined as the ratio of its mass (m) to its volume (V). density= mass/volume OR d= m/V
Considering that mass and volume are both extensive properties, explain why their ratio, density, is intensive.

A

Being extensive properties, both mass and volume are directly proportional to the amount of substance under study. Dividing one extensive property by another will in effect “cancel” this dependence on amount, yielding a ratio that is dependent of amount (an intensive property).

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 132.6 g. A graduated cylinder initially contains 48.6 mL water. When the jewelry is submerged in the graduated cylinder, the total volume increases to 61.2 mL.
(a) Determine the density of this piece of jewelry.
(b) Assuming that the jewelry is made from only one substance, what substance is it likely to be? Explain.

A

(a) 10.5 g/mL
(b) Silver, because it has the closest density to 10.5 g/mL.

Q

Visit this density simulation (http://openstax.org/l/16phetmasvolden) and click the “turn fluid into water”
button to adjust the density of liquid in the beaker to 1.00 g/mL.
(a) Use the water displacement approach to measure the mass and volume of the unknown material
(select the green block with question marks).
(b) Use the measured mass and volume data from step (a) to calculate the density of the unknown
material.
(c) Link out to the link provided.
(d) Assuming this material is a copper-containing gemstone, identify its three most likely identities by
comparing the measured density to the values tabulated at this gemstone density guide
(https://www.ajsgem.com/articles/gemstone-density-definitive-guide.html).
(e) How are mass and density related for blocks of the same volume?

Q

Visit this density simulation (http://openstax.org/l/16phetmasvolden) and click the “reset” button to
ensure all simulator parameters are at their default values.
(a) Use the water displacement approach to measure the mass and volume of the red block.
(b) Use the measured mass and volume data from step (a) to calculate the density of the red block.
(c) Use the vertical green slide control to adjust the fluid density to values well above, then well below, and
finally nearly equal to the density of the red block, reporting your observations.

102
Q

Visit this density simulation (http://openstax.org/l/16phetmasvolden) and click the “turn fluid into water”
button to adjust the density of liquid in the beaker to 1.00 g/mL. Change the block material to foam, and
then wait patiently until the foam block stops bobbing up and down in the water.
(a) The foam block should be floating on the surface of the water (that is, only partially submerged). What
is the volume of water displaced?
(b) Use the water volume from part (a) and the density of water (1.00 g/mL) to calculate the mass of water
displaced.
(c) Remove and weigh the foam block. How does the block’s mass compare to the mass of displaced water
from part (b)?
