indicates 1 molecule of HNO3 contains_____________atom(s) of N
and___________ atom(s) of O and a total of_____________atom(s). This
compound is called a ________________compound.
8. The formula weight (molecular weight) of nitric acid
is_____________amus.
9. In the formation of sodium chloride (table salt), the
sodium atom loses an electron and becomes______________charged. The
sodium ion formed is called a_______________. In the process the
chlorine atom gains an electron to become an____________.
10. The mercury concentration in a polluted lake is 0.0125*10 neg 6 mg/L, what is the total mass in kilograms of mercury in the lake is approximately circular with a diameter (d) of 10 miles and average depth (h) of 50 ft? Note that the volume is calculated as follows: V=3.142*(d/2)2*h.
Useful conversion factors: 1000 g=1kg; 1000 mg=1 g
5280 feet=1 mile; 28.317 (L) liters=1 cubic feet
