PROBLEMS (15 points each). Show your work and circle your answers where appropriate for full credit.

16. Perform the following conversions:

a) 2.54 GHz to Hz

b) 125 meters to yards (2.54 cm = 1 in)

c) The volume of 12.0 oz of gold (1 lb = 453.6 g; dAu = 19.3 g/mL)



17. Write the formula for the following chemical compounds:

a) silicon tetrafluoride _____________________________

b) copper(II) acetate _____________________________

c) iron(III) oxide _____________________________

d) gallium sulfate _____________________________

e) dihydrogen monoxide _____________________________



18. Balance the following chemical equations:

Sn + Cl2 -> SnCl4

C3H8O + O2 -> CO2 + H2O

N2 + H2 -> NH3

19. Motrin ® is a commonly-used over the counter pain reliever, for which the active ingredient contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of 1.00g of the compound yielded 2.77 g of CO2 and 0.787 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula of the active ingredient in Motrin ®?

20. Calculate the theoretical and actual yield when 3.75 g of P4 reacts with 4.32 g of O2 to form 7.25 g of P4O10. [HINT: Write the balanced chemical equation!]
