(E) From Figure 21-2, the route from sodium chloride to sodium nitrate begins with
electrolysis of NaCl(aq) to form NaOH(aq).

(E) From Figure 21-2, we see that the route from sodium chloride to sodium thiosulfate
begins with the electrolysis of NaCl(aq) to produce NaOH(aq),
2 NaOH aq + H 2 g + Cl2 g
2 NaCl aq + 2 H 2O l electrolysis
and continues through the reaction of SO2 g with the NaOH(aq) in an acid-base reaction
[ SO2 g is an acid anhydride] to produce
Na 2SO3 aq :

(M) The first reaction indicates that 0.1 mol of NaNO2 reacts with 0.3 mol of Na to yield
0.2 mol of compound X and 0.05 mol of N2. Since this reaction liberates nitrogen gas, it is
very likely that compound X is an oxide of sodium. The two possibilities include Na2O
and Na2O2. Na2O2 will not react with oxygen, but Na2O will. Therefore, compound X is
most likely Na2O and compound Y is Na2O2. The balanced chemical equations for two
processes are:
1
NaNO 2 (s)+3Na(s) 2Na 2O(s)+ N 2 (g)

Na 2O(s)+ O2 (g) Na 2 O2 (s)

(M) Since compound X is used in plaster of Paris it must contain calcium. Calcium reacts
with carbon to form calcium carbide, according to the following chemical equation:
Ca(s)+2C(s) CaC2 (s)
Furthermore, compound X or calcium carbide reacts with nitrogen gas to form compound
Y or calcium cyanamide:
CaC2 (s)+N 2 (g) CaCN 2 (s)+C(s)
CN22- anion is isoelectronic with CO2 and it therefore contains 16 electrons. The structure

(M) NaCN and Al(NO3)3 dissociate in water according to the following equations:
NaCN(aq) Na + (aq)+CN - (aq)
Al(NO 3 )3 (aq) Al3+ (aq)+3NO-3 (aq)
NaCN is a salt of strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (HCN) and its solution is therefore
basic.
We proceed by first determining the [OH]- concentration in a solution which is 1.0M in
NaCN:

(E) Both LiCl and KCl are soluble in water, but Li 3 PO 4 is not very soluble. Hence the
addition of K 3 PO 4 (aq) to a solution of the white solid will produce a precipitate if the
white solid is LiCl, but no precipitate if the white solid is KCl. The best method is a flame
test; lithium gives a red color to a flame, while the potassium flame test is violet.
1066
4.
(E) When heated, Li 2 CO 3 decomposes to CO 2 (g) and Li 2 O(l). K 2 CO3 (s) simply melts when
heated. The evolution of CO 2 (g) bubbles should be sufficient indication of the difference in
behavior. The flame test affords a violet flame if K+ is present, and a red flame if Li+ is present.
5.
(M) First we note that sodium carbonate ionizes virtually completely when dissolved in H2O and
thus is described as highly soluble in water. This is made evident by the fact that there is no Ksp
value for Na2CO3. By contrast, the existence of Ksp values for MgCO3 and Li2CO3 shows that
these compounds have lower solubilities in water than Na2CO3. To decide whether MgCO3 is
more or less soluble than Li2CO3, we must calculate the molar solubility for each salt and then
compare the two values. Clearly, the salt that has the larger molar solubility will be more soluble
in water. The molar solubilities can be found using the respective Ksp expressions for the two
salts.

We can conclude that Li2CO3 is more soluble than MgCO3. Thus, the expected order of
increasing solubility in water is:

(M) We know sodium metal was produced at the cathode from the reduction of sodium
ion, Na + . Thus, hydroxide must have been involved in oxidation at the anode. The
hydrogen in hydroxide ion already is in its highest oxidation state and thus cannot be
oxidized. This leaves oxidation of the hydroxide ion to elemental oxygen as the remaining
reaction.

We first compute the mass of NaHCO3 that should be produced from 1.00 ton
NaCl, assuming that all of the Na in the NaCl ends up in the NaHCO3. We use the
unit, ton-mole, to simplify the calculations.

NH 3 is used in the principal step of the Solvay process to produce a solution in which
NaHCO 3 is formed and from which it will precipitate. The filtrate contains NH 4 Cl,
from which NH 3 is recovered by treatment with Ca(OH) 2 . Thus, NH 3 is simply used
1068
during the Solvay process to produce the proper conditions for the desired reactions.
Any net consumption of NH 3 is the result of unavoidable losses during production.

(M) (a)
MgO vs. BaO: MgO would have the higher melting point because, although
2+
Mg and Ba2+ have the same charge, Mg2+ is a smaller ion. Smaller ions have a
larger electrostatic attraction to anions (here, in both cases, the anion is O2), which is
due to the smaller charge separation (Coulomb's law).
MgF2 vs. MgCl2 solubility in water. F is smaller than Cl, hence, electrostatic attraction
between Mg2+ and the halide is greater in F than Cl. If we assume that hydration of the
ions is similar, we expect that MgF2 is less soluble than MgCl2. (Note: Ksp given for
MgF2, which is sparingly soluble, while no Ksp value is given for readily soluble MgCl2.)

(D) Let us compute the value of the equilibrium constant for each reaction by combining
the two solubility product constants. Large values of equilibrium constants indicate that the
reaction is displaced far to the right. Values of K that are much smaller than 1 indicate
that the reaction is displaced far to the left.

(M)
The SO42 ion is a large polarizable ion. A cation with a high polarizing power
will polarize the SO42 ion and kinetically assist the decomposition to SO3.
Because Be2+ has the largest charge density of the group 2 cations, we expect Be2+
to be the most polarizing and thus, BeSO4 will be the least stable with respect to
decomposition.
22.
(M)
The CO32 ion is a large polarizable ion. A cation with a high polarizing power
will polarize the CO32 ion and kinetically assist the decomposition to CO2. A
cation with a low polarizing power will not polarize the anion as much; thus, the
decomposition of CO32 to CO2 will not occur as readily in the presence of such a
cation. Because Ba2+ has the smallest charge density of the group 2 cations, we
expect Ba2+ to be the least polarizing; thus, BaSO4 will be the most stable with
respect to decomposition.
(M) (a)
B4 H10 contains a total of 4 3 +10 1 = 22 valence electrons or 11 pairs. Ten of
these pairs could be allocated to form 10 BH bonds, leaving but one pair to bond
the four B atoms together, which is clearly an electron deficient situation.
(b)
In our analysis in part (a), we noted that the four B atoms had but one electron pair to
bond them together. To bond these four atoms into a chain requires three electron
pairs. Since each electron pair in a bridging bond replaces two normal bonds, there
must be at least two bridging bonds in the B4 H10 molecules. By analogy with B2 H 6 ,
we might write the structure below left. But this structure uses only a total of 20
electrons. (The bridge bonds are shown as dots, normal bondselectron pairsas
dashes.) In the structure at right below, we have retained some of the form of B2 H 6 ,
and produced a compound with the formula B4 H10 and 11 electron pairs. (The
experimentally determined structure of B4 H10 consists of a four-membered ring of
alternating B and H atoms, held together by bridging bonds. Two of the B atoms
have two H atoms bonded to each of them by normal covalent bonds. The other two
B atoms have one H atom covalently bonded to each. One final BB bond joins
these last two B atoms, across the diameter of the ring.). See the diagram that

Al(s) is resistant to corrosion only over the pH range 4.5 to 8.5. Thus, aluminum is inert only
when the medium to which it is exposed is neither highly acidic nor highly basic.

Thus, the analytical procedure consists of dissolving the sample in HCl(aq) and then
treating the resulting solution with NaOH(aq) until a precipitate forms. If this precipitate
dissolves completely in excess NaOH(aq), the sample is aluminum 2S. If at least some of
the precipitate does not dissolve, the sample was magnesium.

reaction.

(E) In the sense that diamonds react imperceptibly slowly at room temperature (either with
oxygen to form carbon dioxide, or in its transformation to the more stable graphite), it is
essentially true that diamonds last forever. However, at elevated temperatures, diamond
will burn to form CO2(g) and thus the statement is false. Also, the transformation
1076

course, the conversion to graphite occurs.
40. (E) The graphite in the pencil lead is a good dry lubricant that will make slippery the
stickiness (or reluctance) in the lock and enable it to work smoothly. The key carries the
graphite to the site that needs to be lubricated within the lock mechanism.

(D) Muscovite or white mica has the formula KAl2(OH)2(AlSi3O10). Since they are not
segregated into O2 units in the formula, all of the oxygen atoms in the mineral must be in
the 2 oxidation state. Potassium is obviously in the +1 oxidation state, as are the
hydrogen atoms in the hydroxyl groups. Up to this point, we have -24 from the twelve
oxygen atoms and +3 from the potassium and hydrogen atoms for a net number of -21 for
the oxidation state. We still have three aluminum atoms and three silicon atoms to account
for. In oxygen-rich salts such as mica, we would expect that the silicon and the aluminum
atoms would be in their highest possible oxidation states, namely +4 and +3, respectively.
Since the salt is neutral, the oxidation numbers for the silicon and aluminum atoms must
add up to +21. This is precisely the total that is obtained if the silicon and aluminum atoms
are in their highest possible oxidation states: (3 (+3) + 3 (+4) = +21). Consequently,
the empirical formula for white muscovite is consistent with the expected oxidation state
for each element present.
48.
(D) Crysotile asbestos has the formula [Mg3Si2O5(OH)4]. Since they are not segregated to
O2 units in the formula, all of the oxygen atoms in the mineral must be in the 2 oxidation
state. The three magnesium atoms are obviously in the +2 oxidation state, while hydrogen
atoms in the hydroxyl groups have an oxidation state of +1. Up to this point, then, the sum
of the oxidation numbers equals 8 (18 from O-atoms, +6 from Mg-atoms, and + 4 from
H-atoms). Since the mineral is neutral, the two silicon atoms must have oxidation states
that sum to +8 (8 + 8 = neutral mineral), therefore, each silicon would need to be in the
+4 oxidation state. In oxygenrich salts such as asbestos, we would expect that the silicon
atoms would be in their highest possible oxidation state, namely +4. Thus, the oxidation
states for the element, in this mineral are precisely consistent with expectations.

(D) (a) A solution of CO2(aq) has [CO32-] = Ka2[H2CO3] = 5.610-11 M. Since the Ksp =
2.810-9 for CaCO3, the [Ca2+] needed to form a precipitate from this solution can be
computed.
K sp
2.8 10-9
[Ca2+] =
=
= 50. M
[Ca 2+ ] 5.6 10-11
This is too high to reach by dissolving CaCl2 in solution. The reason a solid forms is that
the OH- produced by the Ca(OH)2 neutralized some of the HCO3- from the ionization of
CO2(aq), thereby increasing the [CO32-] above a value of 5.610-11 M.
(b) The equation for redissolving can be obtained by combining several equations.
Ksp = 2.810-9
1/Ka2 = 1/(5.610-11)

If CaCO3(s) is precipitated from 0.005 M Ca (aq) and then redissolved, [Ca2+] =
0.005 M and [HCO3-] = 20.005 M = 0.010 M. We use these values in the above
expression to compute the [CO2].
[Ca 2+ ][HCO-3]2
[CO 2 ] =
= 0.002 M

We repeat the calculation for saturated Ca(OH)2, in which [OH-] = 2 [OH-], after
first determining [Ca2+] in this solution.

Thus, to redissolve the CaCO3 requires that the [CO2] = 0.25 M, assuming the solution
is initially saturated with Ca(OH)2(aq).

57. (M) There are two principal reasons why the electrolysis of NaCl(l) is used to produce sodium
commercially rather than the electrolysis of NaOH(l). First, NaCl is readily available whereas
NaOH is produced from the electrolysis of NaCl(aq). Thus the raw material NaCl is much cheaper
than is NaOH. Second, but less important, when sodium is produced from the electrolysis of
NaCl(l), a by-product is Cl2(g), whereas O2(g) is a by-product of the production of NaOH(l).
Since O2(g) can be produced more cheaply by the fractional distillation of liquid air, Cl2(g) can be
sold for a higher price than O2(g). Thus, the two reasons for producing sodium from NaCl(l)
rather than NaOH(l) are a much cheaper raw material and a more profitable by-product.

The triiodide ion is linear (AX2E3). The Li+ ion has a high charge density and
significant polarizing power. The Li+ ion will polarize the I3 to a significant extent and
presumably assists the decomposition of I3 to I2 and I.

(a) Since Li has a higher boiling point (1347C) than K (773.9C), a reaction similar to
(21.4) is not a feasible way of producing Li metal from LiCl.
(b) On one hand, Cs has a lower boiling point (678.5C) than K (773.9C), and thus a
reaction similar to (21.4) is a feasible method of producing Cs metal from CsCl.
However, the ionization energy of Na is considerably larger than that of Cs, making it
difficult to transfer an electron from Na to Cs+.

The amount of Ca2+ that has precipitated equals the amount of HCO3 in solution, since each
mole of HCO3 is transformed into 1 mole of CO32, which reacts with and then precipitates
one mole of Ca2+. Thus the amount of Ca2+ that has precipitated is (0.602)(1.44) = 0.867 mol

Thus, there are 97 mol H2O in every 100 mol solution. The remaining 3 moles are 1 mol

If we did not assume complete ionization of Pb(NO3)2, we would obtain 3 moles of unionized Pb(NO3)2 in solution for every 97 moles of H2O. Then there would be 57 g
Pb(NO3)2 dissolved in 100 g H2O. A handbook gives the solubility as 56 g Pb(NO3)2/100 g
H2O, indicating only partial dissociation or, more probably, extensive re-association into ion
pairs, triplets, quadruplets, etc.
71. (M) Considerable energy is required to produce the Pb4+ cationfour ionization steps, one
for the removal of each electron. It therefore needs quite a large lattice energy to compensate
for its energy of production. Both Br and I are large anions, and therefore the Pb4+Br
and Pb4+I interionic distances are long. But lattice energy depends on the charge of the
cation (which is quite large) multiplied by the charge of the anion (which is reasonably
small) divided by the square of the interionic distance (long, as we have said). Thus, we
predict a small lattice energy that is insufficient to stabilize the Pb4+ cation. We would
predict, however, that PbF4 and PbCl4 (both with small anions) and PbO2 and PbS2 (both
with small, highly charged anions) would be stable compounds.
In addition, notice that
Eo {Pb4+|Pb2+} = 1.5 V (from Table 21-6) is sufficient to oxidize Br to Br2 and I to I2, since
Eo {Br2|Br} = +1.065 V and Eo {I2|I} = +0.535 V. Thus, even if PbI4 or PbBr4 could be
prepared they would be thermodynamically unstable.

74. (M) If the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction is quite large, then the
conversion will be almost complete. We write the net ionic equation and then add the two
solubility reactions to obtain the net ionic equation for the conversion. The equilibrium
constants are multiplied together to give the equilibrium constant for the conversion.

We see that the calculated ratios follow the same pattern as the densities: Na K Li, thus
explaining why Na has a higher density than both Li and K.

(M) We would expect MgO(s) to have a larger value of lattice energy than MgS(s) because
of the smaller interionic distance in MgO(s).

In this reaction, Li(s) is being oxidized to Li+(aq). If we wish to compare this to the
reduction potential for Li+(aq) being reduced to Li(s), we would have to reverse the
reaction, which would result in the same answer only as a negative value.
Alternatively, we can change the sign of the oxidation potential (Li Li+) to -2.87 V
for the reduction potential for Li+ Li.
(it apears as -3.040 V in Appendix D; here, we see much better agreement.)

As mentioned in part (a) of this question, we have calculated the oxidation potential
for the half reaction Li(s) Li+(aq) + e-. The reduction potential is the reverse halfreaction and has a potential of -3.03 V. This is in excellent agreement with -3.040 V
given in Appendix D.

The pH of the lake will be determined by the amphiprotic bicarbonate ion, (HCO3),
which hydrolyzes in water ( K a1 = 4.4 107 or pK a1 = 6.36 and K a 2 = 4.7 1011
or pK a 2 = 10.33). We saw earlier (Chapter 18, Exercise 100) that the pH of a
solution of alanine, a diprotic species is independent of concentration (as long as it is

This is not as basic as the actual pH of the lake. Addition of borax (sodium salt of
boric acid) would aid in increasing the pH of the solution (since borax contains an
anion that is the conjugate base of a weak acid). The lake may be more basic due to
the presence of other basic anions, namely carbonate ion (CO32).
(c)
Tufa are mostly made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3(s)). Since they form near
underwater springs, one must assume that the springs have a high concentration of
calcium ion (Ca2+(aq)). We then couple this with the fact that the lake has a high
salinity (high carbonate and bicarbonate ion content). We can thus conclude that two
major reactions are most likely responsible for the formation of a tufa (see below):
Ca2+(aq) + CO32(aq) CaCO3(s)
Ca2+(aq) + 2 HCO3(aq) Ca(HCO3)2(q) CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

(E) (a) A dimer is a chemical or biological entity consisting of two structurally similar
subunits called monomers, which are joined by bonds, which can be strong or weak.
(b) An adduct is a product of a direct addition of two or more distinct molecules, resulting
in a single reaction product containing all atoms of all components, with formation of two
chemical bonds and a net reduction in bond multiplicity in at least one of the reactants.
(c) Calcination is a thermal treatment process applied to ores and other solid materials in
order to bring about a thermal decomposition, phase transition, or removal of a volatile
fraction.
(d) An amphoteric oxide is an oxide that can act both as an acid and as a base. An
example is aluminum oxide Al2O3.
(e) A three-center two-electron bond is an electron deficient chemical bond where three
atoms share two electrons. The combination of three atomic orbitals form three molecular
orbitals: one bonding, one non-bonding, and one anti-bonding. The two electrons go into
the bonding orbital, resulting in a net bonding effect and constituting a chemical bond
among all three atoms.

(E) (a) A diagonal relationship exists between certain pairs of diagonally adjacent
elements in the second and third periods of the periodic table. These pairs (Li and Mg, Be
and Al, B and Si, etc.) exhibit similar properties. For example boron and silicon are both
semiconductors.
(b) One way to prepare deionized water is by passing it through an ion exchange column.
The latter is composed of insoluble chemicals which remove both positive and negative
ions from water.
(c) Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of a metal powder and a metal oxide, which
produces an aluminothermic reaction known as a thermite reaction.

Fe2O3. Aluminum can be used for making products that last and for structural purposes,
because aluminum develops a coating of Al2O3 that protects the metal beneath it.
