Be sure to answer all parts. dimercaprol (hsch2chshch2oh) was developed during world war i as an antidote to arsenic-based poison gas and is used today to treat heavy-metal poisoning. it binds the toxic element and carries it out of the body. (a) if each molecule binds one arsenic (as) atom, how many atoms of as could be removed by 696 mg of dimercaprol? × 10 atoms as (enter your answer in scientific notation.) (b) if one molecule binds one metal atom, calculate the mass % of each of the following metals in a metal-dimercaprol combination: mercury, thallium, chromium.

For A: The number of arsenic atoms are $3.4\times 10^{21}$

For B: The percent composition of mercury, thallium and chromium in their complexes are 61.76 %, 62.2 % and 29.51 % respectively.

Explanation:

For A:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of dimercaprol = 696 mg = 0.696 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of dimercaprol = 124.21 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of dimercaprol}=\frac{0.696g}{124.21g/mol}=0.0056mol$

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

So, 0.0056 moles of dimercaprol will contain $0.0056\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of molecules.

As, 1 molecule of dimercaprol binds with 1 atom of Arsenic

So, $3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of dimercaprol molecules will bind with = $1\times 3.4\times 10^{21}=3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of arsenic atoms

Hence, the number of arsenic atoms are $3.4\times 10^{21}$

For B:

We know that:

Molar mass of dimercaprol = 124.21 g/mol

Molar mass of mercury = 200.59 g/mol

Molar mass of thallium = 204.38 g/mol

Molar mass of chromium = 51.99 g/mol

Also, 1 molecule of dimercaprol binds with 1 metal atom.

To calculate the percentage composition of metal in a complex, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of metal}=\frac{\text{Mass of metal}}{\text{Mass of complex}}\times 100$ ......(1)

For mercury:

Mass of Hg-complex = (200.59 + 124.21) = 324.8 g

Mass of mercury = 200.59 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of mercury}=\frac{200.59g}{324.8g}\times 100=61.76\%$

For thallium:

Mass of Tl-complex = (204.38 + 124.21) = 328.59 g

Mass of thallium = 204.38 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of thallium}=\frac{204.38g}{328.59g}\times 100=62.2\%$

For chromium:

Mass of Cr-complex = (51.99 + 124.21) = 176.2 g

Mass of chromium = 51.99 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of chromium}=\frac{51.99g}{176.2g}\times 100=29.51\%$

Hence, the percent composition of mercury, thallium and chromium in their complexes are 61.76 %, 62.2 % and 29.51 % respectively.

Answer from: Quest

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
