Problem 110
The mass of an average blueberry is 0.75 g and the mass of an automobile is 2.0×103 kg. Find the number of automobiles whose total mass is the same as 1.0 mol of blueberries.
- Suppose that atomic masses were based on the assignment of a mass of 12.000 g to 1 mol of carbon, rather than 1 mol of 12C. What would the atomic mass of oxygen be? (The atomic masses of carbon and oxygen, based on the assignment of 12.000 g to 1 mol of 12C, are 12.011 amu and 15.9994 amu, respectively.)

Problem 118
Common brass is a copper and zinc alloy containing 37.0% zinc by mass and having a density of 8.48 g/cm3. A fitting composed of common brass has a total volume of 112.5 cm3. How many atoms (copper and zinc) does the fitting contain?

Naturally occurring chlorine is composed of two isotopes: 75.76% Cl-35 (mass 34.9688 amu) and 24.24% Cl-37 (mass 36.9659 amu). Naturally occurring oxygen is composed of three isotopes: 99.757% O-16 (mass 15.9949 amu), 0.038% O-17 (mass 16.9991 amu), and 0.205% O-18 (mass 17.9991 amu). The compound dichlorine monoxide is composed of two chlorine atoms and one oxygen atom bonded together to form the Cl2O molecule. How many Cl2O molecules of different masses naturally exist? Give the masses of the three most abundant Cl2O molecules.
Problem 121
Silver is composed of two naturally occurring isotopes: Ag-107 (51.839%) and Ag-109. The ratio of the masses of the two isotopes is 1.0187. What is the mass of Ag-107?
Problem 122
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits on healthful levels of air pollutants. The maximum level that the EPA considers safe for lead air pollution is 1.5 µg/m3. If your lungs were filled with air containing this level of lead, how many lead atoms would be in your lungs? (Assume a total lung volume of 5.50 L.)
Problem 123
Pure gold is usually too soft for jewelry, so it is often alloyed with other metals. How many gold atoms are in an 0.255-ounce, 18 K gold bracelet? (18 K gold is 75% gold by mass.)
