QUIZ NO. 01 (Calculations)

1.) There are 2.60x1015 short tons of oxygen in the atmosphere (1 short ton = 2000 lb). How many
metric tons of oxygen is present (1 metric ton = 1000 kg)?
2.) The average density of Earth is 5.52 g/mL. What is its density in (a) kg/m 3; (b) lb/ft3?
3.) The volume of a certain bacterial cell is 2.56 μm3. (a) What is its volume in cubic millimeters
(mm3)? (b) What is the volume of 105 cells in liters (L)?
4.) A cylindrical tube 9.5 cm high and 0.85 cm in diameter is used to collect blood samples. How
many cubic decimeters (dm3) of blood can it hold (V of a cylinder = πr2h)?
5.) Copper can be drawn into thin wires. How many meters of 34-gauge wire (diameter = 6.304x10-3
in) can be produced from the copper in 5.01 lb of covellite, an ore of copper that is 66% copper by
mass? (Hint: Treat the wire as a cylinder: V of a cylinder = πr2h; ρ of copper = 8.95 g/cm3.)
6.) Magnesium oxide (MgO) forms when the metal burns in air. (a) If 1.25 g of MgO contains 0.754 g
of Mg, what is the mass ratio of magnesium to oxide? (b) How many grams of Mg are in 534 g of
MgO?
7.) A compound of copper and sulfur contains 88.39 g of metal and 44.61 g of non metal. How many
grams of copper are in 5264 kg of compound? How many grams of sulfur?
8.) Dolomite is a carbonate of magnesium and calcium. Analysis shows that 7.81 g of dolomite
contains 1.70 g of Ca. Calculate the mass percent of Ca.
9.) Helium is the lightest noble gas and the second most abundant element (after hydrogen) in the
universe. (a) The radius of a helium atom is 3.1x10-11 m; the radius of its nucleus is 2.5x10-15 m. What
4
fraction of the spherical atomic volume is occupied by the nucleus (V of a sphere = 5 πr3). (b) The
mass of a helium-4 atom is 6.64648x10-24 g, and each of its two electrons has a mass of 9.10939x10 -
28 g. What is the fraction of this atom’s mass is contributed by its nucleus?

10.) The mineral galena is composed of lead (II) sulfide and has an average density of 7.46 g/cm 3. (a)
How many moles of lead (II) sulfide are in 1.00 ft 3 of galena? (b) How many lead atoms are in 1.00
dm3 of galena?
