2.11 State the mass law(s) demonstrated by the following experimental results, and explain your reasoning: Experiment 1: A student heats 1.27 g of copper and 3.50 g of iodine to produce 3.81 g of a white compound, and 0.96g of iodine remains. Experiment 2: A second student heats 2.55 g of copper and 3.50 g of iodine to form 5.25 g of a white compound, and 0.80 g of copper remains.

2.11 These two experiments demonstrate the Law of Definite Composition. In both cases, the ratio of (g Cu reacted)/(g I reacted) = 0.50, so the composition is constant regardless of the method of preparation. They also demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass, since in both cases the total mass before reaction equals the total mass after reaction.

2.13 Galena, a mineral of lead, is a compound of the metal with sulfur. Analysis shows that a 2.34g 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 percents of lead and sulfur in galena.

2.13 a) 2.34 g compound – 2.03 g lead = 0.31 g sulfur b) Mass fraction Pb = 2.03/2.34 = 0.86752 = 0.868 Mass fraction S = 0.31/2.34 = 0.13248 = 0.13 c) Mass % Pb = 0.868 fraction x 100 = 86.752 = 86.8% Mass % S = 0.13 fraction x 100 = 13.248 = 13%

2.17 Show, with calculations, how the following data illustrate the law of multiple proportions: Compound 1: 77.6 mass % xenon and 22.4 mass % fluorine Compound 2: 63.3 mass % xenon and 36.7 mass % fluorine

2.17 Compound 1: 77.6% Xe/ 22.4% F = 3.4643 = 3.46 Compound 2: 63.3% Xe / 36.7% F = 1.7248 = 1.72 Ratio: 3.46/1.72 = 2.0116 = 2.01 / 1.00 The ratios are in a 2:1 ratio, supporting the Law of Multiple Proportions.

2.33 Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes, 24Mg (isotopic mass 23.9850 amu, abundance 78.99%), 25Mg (isotopic mass 24.9858 amu, abundance 10.00%), and 26Mg (isotopic mass 25.9826 amu, abundance 11.01%). Calculate the atomic mass of magnesium.

Atomic mass of Mg = (0.7899)(23.9850 amu) + (0.1000)(24.9858 amu) + (0.1101)(25.9826 amu) --------------------------------- = 24.3050 = 24.31 amu
