Production ofChlorofluorocarbons, 1950–1992Production ofChlorofluorocarbons, 1950–1992

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were first produced in the laboratory in the late 1920s. They did not

become an important commercial product until sometime later. Eventually, CFCs grew in popularity untiltheir effect on the ozone layer was discovered in the1970s. The graph shows the combined amounts of twoimportant CFCs produced between 1950 and 1992.Answer the following questions about the graph.

CHALLENGE PROBLEMSCHAPTER 1

1. What was the approximate amount of CFCs produced in 1950? In 1960? In 1970?

2. In what year was the largest amount of CFCs produced? About how much was producedthat year?

3. During what two-year period did the production of CFCs decrease by the greatestamount? By about how much did their production decrease?

4. During what two-year period did the production of CFCs increase by the greatestamount? What was the approximate percent increase during this period?

5. How confident would you feel about predicting the production levels of CFCs during theodd numbered years 1961, 1971, and 1981? Explain.

Physical and ChemicalChangesPhysical and ChemicalChanges

Physical and chemical changes occur all around us. One of the many places in which physical and chemical changes occur is the kitchen. For example, cooking spaghetti in a

pot of water on the stove involves such changes. For each of the changes described below, tell(a) whether the change that occurs is physical or chemical, and (b) how you made your choicebetween these two possibilities. If you are unable to decide whether the change is physical orchemical, tell what additional information you would need in order to make a decision.

CHALLENGE PROBLEMSCHAPTER 3

1. As the water in the pot is heated, its temperature rises.

2. As more heat is added, the water begins to boil and steam is produced.

3. The heat used to cook is produced by burning natural gas in the stove burner.

4. The metal burner on which the pot rests while being heated becomes red as its temperature rises.

5. After the flame has been turned off, a small area on the burner has changed in color fromblack to gray.

6. A strand of spaghetti has fallen onto the burner, where it turns black and begins tosmoke.

7. When the spaghetti is cooked in the boiling water, it becomes soft.

Quantum NumbersQuantum Numbers

CHALLENGE PROBLEMSCHAPTER 5

The state of an electron in an atom can be completely described by four quantum numbers,designated as n, �, m�, and ms. The first, or principal, quantum number, n, indicates the

electron’s approximate distance from the nucleus. The second quantum number, �, describesthe shape of the electron’s orbit around the nucleus. The third quantum number, m�, describesthe orientation of the electron’s orbit compared to the plane of the atom. The fourth quantumnumber, ms, tells the direction of the electron’s spin (clockwise or counterclockwise).

The Schrödinger wave equation imposes certain mathematical restrictions on the quantumnumbers. They are as follows:

n can be any integer (whole number),

� can be any integer from 0 to n � 1,

m� can be any integer from �� to ��, and

ms can be � or �

As an example, consider electrons in the first energy level of an atom, that is, n � 1. Inthis case, � can have any integral value from 0 to (n � 1), or 0 to (1 � 1). In other words,� must be 0 for these electrons. Also, the only value that m� can have is 0. The electrons in

this energy level can have values of � or � for ms. These restrictions agree with the

observation that the first energy level can have only two electrons. Their quantum numbers

are 1, 0, 0, � and 1, 0, 0 � .

Use the rules given above to complete the table listing the quantum numbers for eachelectron in a boron atom. The correct quantum numbers for one electron in the atom is provided as an example.

6 Chemistry: Matter and Change • Chapter 6 Challenge Problems

Döbereiner’s TriadsDöbereiner’s Triads

One of the first somewhat successful attempts to arrange the elements in a systematic way was made by the German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (1780–1849). In 1816,

Döbereiner noticed that the then accepted atomic mass of strontium (50) was midway betweenthe atomic masses of calcium (27.5) and barium (72.5). Note that the accepted atomic massesfor these elements today are very different from their accepted atomic masses at the timeDöbereiner made his observations. Döbereiner also observed that strontium, calcium, and bar-ium showed a gradual gradation in their properties, with the values of some of strontium’sproperties being about midway between the values of calcium and barium. Döbereiner eventu-ally found four other sets of three elements, which he called triads, that followed the same pat-tern. In each triad, the atomic mass of the middle element was about midway between theatomic masses of the other two elements. Unfortunately, because Döbereiner’s system did notturn out to be very useful, it was largely ignored.

Had Döbereiner actually discovered a way of identifying trends among the elements?Listed below are six three-element groups in which the elements in each group are consecutivemembers of the same group in the periodic table. The elements in each set show a gradation intheir properties. Values for the first and third element in each set are given. Determine the miss-ing value in each set by calculating the average of the two given values. Then, compare the val-ues you obtained with those given in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. Record theactual values below your calculated values. Is the value of the property of the middle elementin each set midway between the values of the other two elements in the set?

8 Chemistry: Matter and Change • Chapter 8 Challenge Problems

Comparing the Structures ofAtoms and IonsComparing the Structures ofAtoms and Ions

The chemical properties of an element depend primarily on its number of valence electrons in its atoms. The noble gas elements, for example, all have similar chemical properties

because the outermost energy levels of their atoms are completely filled. The chemical propertiesof ions also depend on the number of valence electrons. Any ion with a complete outermostenergy level will have chemical properties similar to those of the noble gas elements. The fluo-ride ion (F�), for example, has a total of ten electrons, eight of which fill its outermost energylevel. F� has chemical properties, therefore, similar to those of the noble gas neon.

Shown below are the Lewis electron dot structures for five elements: sulfur (S), chlorine (Cl),argon (Ar), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca). Answer the questions below about these structures.

CHALLENGE PROBLEMSCHAPTER 8

The boiling points of liquids depend partly on the mass of the particles of which they are made. The greater the mass of

the particles, the more energy is needed to convert a liquid to agas, and, thus, the higher the boiling point of the liquid. This pat-tern may not hold true, however, when there are significant forcesbetween the particles of a liquid. The graph plots boiling pointversus molecular mass for group 4A and group 6A hydrides. Ahydride is a binary compound containing hydrogen and one otherelement. Use the graph to answer the following questions.

Vapor Pressure LoweringVapor Pressure Lowering

You have learned that adding a nonvolatile solute to a solvent lowers the vapor pressure of that solvent. The amount by

which the vapor pressure is lowered can be calculated by means of a relationship discovered by the French chemist François MarieRaoult (1830–1901) in 1886. According to Raoult’s law, the vaporpressure of a solvent (P) is equal to the product of its vapor pressurewhen pure (P0) and its mole fraction (X) in the solution, or

P � P0X

Swimming Pool ChemistrySwimming Pool Chemistry

The presence of disease-causing bacteria in swimming pools is a major health concern. Chlorine gas is added to the water in some large commercial swimming pools to kill

bacteria. However, in most home swimming pools, either solid calcium hypochlorite(Ca(OCl)2) or an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is used to treat thewater. Both compounds dissociate in water to form the weak acid hypochlorous acid(HOCl). Hypochlorous acid is a highly effective bactericide. By contrast, the hypochloriteion (OCl�) is not a very effective bactericide. Use the information above to answer the following questions about the acid-base reactions that take place in swimming pools.

CHALLENGE PROBLEMSCHAPTER 19

1. Write an equation that shows the reaction between hypochlorous acid and water. Identifythe acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base in this reaction.

2. Write an equation that shows the reaction that occurs when the hypochlorite ion (OCl�),in the form of calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite, is added to water. Name theacid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base in this reaction.

3. What effect does the addition of hypochlorite ion have on the pH of swimming pool water?

4. The effectiveness of hypochlorite ion as a bactericide depends on pH. How does high pHaffect the equilibrium reaction described in question 2? What effect would high pH haveon the bacteria?

5. In the presence of sunlight, hypochlorite ion decomposes to form chloride ion and oxygen gas. Write an equation for this reaction and tell how it affects the safety of pool water.

Balancing Oxidation–Reduction EquationsBalancing Oxidation–Reduction Equations

Scientists have developed a number of methods for protecting metals from oxidation. One such method involves the use of a

sacrificial metal. A sacrificial metal is a metal that is more easily oxidized than the metal it is designed to protect. Galvanized iron, forexample, consists of a piece of iron metal covered with a thin layer of zinc. When galvanized iron is exposed to oxygen, it is the zinc,rather than the iron, that is oxidized.

Water heaters often contain a metal rod that is made by coating a heavy steel wire with magnesium or aluminum. In this case, themagnesium or aluminum is the sacrificial metal, protecting the ironcasing of the heater from corrosion.

The diagram shows a portion of a water heater containing a sacrificial rod. Answer the following questions about the diagram.

CHALLENGE PROBLEMSCHAPTER 20

Use with Chapter 20,Section 20.3

1. In the absence of a sacrificial metal, oxygen dissolved in water may react with the ironcasing of the heater. One product formed is iron(II) hydroxide (Fe(OH)2). Which elementis oxidized and which is reduced in this reaction?

2. Balance the oxidation–reduction equation for this reaction:Fe(s) � O2(aq) � H2O 0 Fe(OH)2(aq)

3. Write the two half-reactions for this example of corrosion.

4. Suppose the sacrificial rod in the diagram above is coated with aluminum metal. Writethe balanced equation for the reaction of aluminum with oxygen dissolved in the water.(Hint: The product formed is aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3).

5. Write the two half-reactions for this example of corrosion.

6. Suppose that some iron in the casing of the water heater is oxidized, as shown in theequation of question 2 above. The sacrificial metal (aluminum, in this case) immediatelyrestores the Fe2� ions to iron atoms. Write two half-reactions that represent this situation.

Boiling Points of OrganicFamiliesBoiling Points of OrganicFamilies

The most important factor determining the boiling point of a substance is its atomic or molecular mass. In general,

the larger the atomic or molecular mass of the substance, themore energy is needed to convert the substance from the liquidphase to the gaseous phase. As an example, the boiling pointof ethane (molecular mass � 30; boiling point � �89°C) ismuch higher than the boiling point of methane (molecularmass � 16; boiling point � �161°C).

Intermolecular forces between the particles of a liquid alsocan affect the liquid’s boiling point. The graph shows trends inthe boiling points of four organic families: alkanes, alcohols,aldehydes, and ethers. Use the graph and your knowledge ofintermolecular forces to answer the following questions.

The Chemistry of LifeThe Chemistry of Life

Proteins are synthesized when RNA molecules translate the DNA language of nitrogen bases

into the protein language of amino acids using agenetic code. The genetic code is found in RNA mole-cules called messenger RNA (mRNA), which are syn-thesized from DNA molecules. The genetic codeconsists of a sequence of three nitrogen bases in themRNA, called a codon. Most codons code for specificamino acids. A few codons code for a stop in the syn-thesis of proteins. The table shows the mRNA codonsthat make up the genetic code. To use the table, readthe three nitrogen bases in sequence. The first base isshown along the left side of the table. The second baseis shown along the top of the table. The third base isshown along the right side of the table. For example,the sequence CAU codes for the amino acid histidine(His).

The Phosphorus CycleThe Phosphorus Cycle

Phosphorus is an important element both in organisms and in the lithosphere. In organisms, phosphorus occurs in DNA and RNA molecules, cell membranes, bones

and teeth, and in the energy–storage compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In the litho-sphere, phosphorus occurs primarily in the form of phosphates, as a major constituent ofmany rocks and minerals. Phosphate rock is mined to produce many commercial products,such as fertilizers and detergents. When these products are used, phosphates are returned tothe lithosphere and hydrosphere. Thus, phosphorus—like carbon and nitrogen—cycles in theenvironment. Use the diagram of the phosphorus cycle to answer the questions below.

CHALLENGE PROBLEMSCHAPTER 26

Use with Chapter 26,Section 26.4

1. By what methods does phosphorus get into soil?

2. By what method do plants obtain the phosphorus they need?

3. By what method do animals obtain the phosphorus they need?
