Suppose the stockroom made a mistake and gave you a mixture of potassium chlorate and potassium chlorite. Upon analysis of this mixture, would you obtain a larger or smaller mass percent of oxygen than you would for an equal mass of pure sample of potassium chlorate (circle one)? Larger Explain your choice. Your response should include an analysis of the formulas of the compounds involved. Smaller

Estimating the radius of a lead atom. (a) You are given a cube of lead that is 1.000 cm on each side. The density of lead is 11.35 g/ cm3. How many atoms of lead are in the sample? (b) Atoms are spherical; therefore, the lead atoms in this sample cannot fill all the available space As an approximation, assume that 60% of the space of the cube is filled with spherical lead atoms. Calculate the volume of one lead atom from this information. From the calculated volume (V) and the formula (4/3) 3 for the volume of a sphere, estimate the radius (r) of a lead atom.
The space shuttle environmental control system handles excess CO2 (which the astronauts breathe out; it is 4.0% by mass of exhaled air) by reacting it with lithium hydroxide, LiOH, pellets to form lithium carbonate, Li2CO3, and water. If there are seven astronauts on board the shuttle, and each exhales 20. L of air pee minute, how long could clean air be generated if there were 25,000 g of LiOH pellets available for each shuttle mission? Assume the density of air is 0.0010 g/mL.
