2SCS p.180 #1-12

1. The law of conservation of matter states that matter is neither created nor destroyed. 

2. A scientific law summarizes what has been learned by careful observation of nature. 

3. These expressions are misleading because as the law of conservation of matter states, matter is neither created nor destroyed. They just change. 

4.  a. Not balanced.
        Reactant: Sn-1, H-1, F-1        Product: Sn-1, H-2, F-2    b. Not balanced.        Reactant: Si-1, O-2, C-1        Product: Si-1, O-1, C-2    c. Balanced        Reactant: Al-1, O-3, H-6, Cl-3        Product: Al-1, O-3, H-6, Cl-3

5. a. The coefficient for hydrogen gas: 3.    b. The coefficient for NH3 gas: 2.    c. The coefficient for nitrogen gas: 1.


6. a. 1, 3, 1, 3



    b. 2, 3, 3, 2 


    c. 4, 2, 3



7. a. 1 Ca3(PO4)2 + 3 H2SO4 --> 2 H3PO4 + 3 CaSO4    b.  2 C8H18 + 25 O2 --> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O


8. a. Yes, the atoms are conserved.        Reactant: Na-2, S-1, O-4, K-2, Cl-1        Product: Na-2, S-1, O-4, K-2, Cl-1    b. No, the student did not create a properly balanced chemical equation. This is because the subscripts are suppose to stay the same, and the coefficients are suppose to alter to balance the equation.    c. 1 Na2SO4 + 2 KCl --> 2 NaCl + 1 K2SO4


9. It would take 400,000 seconds to spend one mole of dollars if I could spend a billion dollars per second.


10. a. oxygen gas (O2): 32g      b. ozone (O3): 48g      c. limestone (CaCO3): 100g      d. a typical antacid Mg(OH)2: 58g      e. aspirin (C9H8O4): 180g


11. They can both correctly represent 1.00 mol of a substance because atomic mass equals atomic weight; the weight always stays the same.


12. a. 1 atom in 39.1g potassium      b. .5 atoms in 19.55g potassium      c. .1 atoms in 3.91g potassium      d. .03 atoms in 1.0g potassium
