copper(II) ions with water. The addition of ammonia changes the color to a significantly more intense blue as
ammonia replaces the water as the ligand about the copper(II) ions. It is possible to estimate the formula of the
complex by observing the color change due to ligand displacement. A solution containing 2.49 g of CuSO 4•5H2O in
100.0 mL of solution was exposed to ammonia gas. The following change occurred:
n NH3(g) +
Cu2+(aq)  [Cu(NH3)n]2+(aq)
colorless
light blue
intense blue
The blue color of the solution intensified until 978 mL of ammonia gas (at 25°C and 1.00 atm) dissolved. Estimate
the value of n.

22.91 Why are lead ores, such as galena (PbS) roasted?
22.92 Tantalum (Ta) has many medical applications, because it provokes only minimal rejection in the body. Thus,
tantalum is useful in objects such as the screws used to hold bones together. The initial stage in the isolation of this
metal gives a product contaminated with niobium (Nb). Why might niobium be a common contaminant in
tantalum?
22.93 Zirconium (Zr) may be isolated from the ore baddeleyite (ZrO2). One of the steps in this process is to heat a
mixture of baddeleyite and carbon in an atmosphere of chlorine (Cl 2) gas. This reaction produces gaseous

22.95 The first step in the processing of a particular type of copper ore involves the air oxidation of the sulfur
present to sulfur dioxide. If a sample of ore weighing 1.5 × 105 kg contains 24% covellite (CuS) and 17% pyrite
(FeS2), how many kilograms of sulfur dioxide gas will form when this ore is processed?
22.96 Many substances may serve as iron ore. Examples are hematite (Fe 2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4), goethite
(FeO(OH)), and siderite (FeCO3). Each of these minerals will reduce to iron in a blast furnace. For each of them,
calculate the mass of iron produced from 1.000 kg of ore.
22.97 The production of magnesium metal is accomplished either by the electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride
or by the Pidgeon process. The latter process begins with heating the relatively common mineral dolomite,
MgCa(CO3)2, to 1150° under reduced pressure, so that it decomposes to magnesium oxide solid, calcium oxide
solid, and carbon dioxide gas. Further heating of the metal oxides with ferrosilicon, a mixture of iron and silicon
often represented as Fe/Si, yields magnesium vapor; molten calcium silicate, Ca 2SiO4; and solid iron. (a) Write
balanced chemical equations for each step in the Pidgeon process. (b) What is the maximum amount of magnesium
that might form from 10.0 kg of dolomite? (c) What is the percent yield if 1.00 kg of magnesium forms?

22.98 Bauxite includes many impurities. One impurity is the metal gallium, in levels of about 0.02 percent.
Gallium is an unusual metal in that it will melt in your hand. Gallium is also important in the production of LED's.
In the Bayer process, gallium extracts along with the aluminum, because gallium, like aluminum, is amphoteric. It
is then possible to separate the gallium from the solution by simple electrolysis. How many metric tons of bauxite
are necessary to produce 10.0 kg of pure gallium? A metric ton is 1000 kg.

22.99 The Kroll process is useful in the preparation of zirconium metal. In this process (also useful in the
preparation of titanium), magnesium metal reduces zirconium(IV) chloride to zirconium metal and magnesium
chloride. The Kroll process requires a temperature in excess of 1000°C. (a) How many kilograms of magnesium
metal are necessary to produce 25 kg of zirconium metal? (b) Hafnium always contaminates zirconium samples.
Why is hafnium more likely than any other element to be a contaminant?
22.100 It is possible to produce small amounts of very pure zirconium, contaminated only with hafnium, by the van
Arkel-de Boer process. This process begins by heating impure zirconium metal, produced by the Kroll process, with
iodine to release volatile zirconium(IV) iodide vapor. The vapor decomposes to the elements on a white-hot
tungsten filament. How many grams of iodine are necessary to produce 75 g of pure zirconium?
22.101 The Goldschmidt process produces chromium metal from chromium(III) oxide. The reaction is

22.102 Rhenium, the last non-radioactive element discovered, occurs as an impurity in molybdenum ores. During
the processing of molybdenum ores, the rhenium is converted to solid rhenium(VII) oxide (Re 2O7). This oxide
dissolves in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to form aqueous sodium perrhenate (NaReO 4). The addition of
aqueous ammonium chloride to this solution precipitates solid ammonium perrhenate. After drying the precipitate,
heating the solid with hydrogen gas yields solid rhenium metal, water vapor, and ammonia gas. Write balanced
chemical equations for the isolation of rhenium.
22.103 One of the important ores of cobalt is the mineral cobaltite (CoAsS). Roasting this ore in air produces solid
cobalt(II) oxide, sulfur dioxide gas, and tetraarsenic decaoxide vapor. The solid, including impurities, is treated with
aqueous sulfuric acid. This dissolves the cobalt, as cobalt(II) sulfate, and some of the impurities. Treatment of the
cobalt(II) solution with a basic hypochlorite solution precipitates the cobalt as cobalt(III) hydroxide. The
hypochlorite ion reduces to aqueous chloride ion during this step. The dried hydroxide precipitate is converted to
the solid oxide by heating. Reduction of the oxide with hydrogen gas yields cobalt metal and water vapor. (a) Write
balanced chemical reactions for the isolation of cobalt metal from cobaltite. (b) How many kilograms of cobaltite
are necessary to prepare 1.00 kg of cobalt metal? (c) Both sulfur dioxide and tetraarsenic decaoxide are pollutants.

(c) The S° value becomes more important at higher temperatures and this promotes the reaction.
22.114 Spinel (MgAl2O4) is a very hard and durable mineral. Pure spinel is colorless; however, spinels containing

24.96 Aromatic compounds, such as benzene, are not very reactive. The presence of resonance makes the rings
exceptionally stable. When a reaction occurs on the ring of an aromatic compound, it tends to be a substitution
reaction, like alkanes, rather than an addition reaction, like alkenes. In 1877, the French chemist, Charles Friedel,
and the American chemist, James Crafts, discovered than in the presence of a catalyst, such as aluminum chloride,
an alkyl group could undergo a substitution reaction onto an aromatic ring. In honor of the discoverers, this is a
Friedel-Crafts reaction. An example of this reaction is:
The catalyst is a Lewis acid. This reaction takes place in organic solvents where the aluminum chloride behaves as a
nonelectrolyte. Use the Lewis structure of unionized aluminum chloride to show why this catalyst is a Lewis acid.

nitrotoluenes. (b) Why can there be no other nitrotoluenes?
24.98 The reaction of a halogen such as chlorine or bromine with an alkane leads to a substitution of a halogen atom
for one of the hydrogen atoms and the other halogen atom combines with the displaced hydrogen atom to produce a
hydrogen halide. Under the same conditions, an alkene or an alkyne will undergo an addition reaction. On the other
hand, aromatic hydrocarbons do not react. However, in the presence of a catalyst, FeCl 3 for Cl2 or FeBr3 for Br2,
aromatic compounds will undergo substitution reactions like alkanes. Use structural formulas to indicate the
substitution reactions that occurs when chlorine reacts with benzene in the presence of iron(III) chloride. Show only
the possible products of the addition of either one or two chlorine atoms.
24.99 In 1900, Victor Grignard discovered how to make an important class of compounds used in organic synthesis.
For his discovery of these compounds, now known as Grignard reagents, he received the 1912 Nobel Prize in
Chemistry. He discovered that magnesium metal would reaction with organic halides in dry ether to insert a
magnesium atom between the organic portion of the molecule, symbolized as R, and the halogen atom, symbolized
as X, in this way RX becomes RMgX. Even though a metal is present, the organomagnesium compound formed has
a covalent bond to the organic portion of the molecule. One use of Grignard reagents is to produce alcohols from
either aldehydes or ketones. The R from the Grignard reagent attaches to the carbonyl carbon and the carbonyl
oxygen becomes an alcohol oxygen. The reaction requires two steps, one where ether is the solvent, and one with an
acid:
(a) Repeat the above reaction using the same Grignard reagent, methylmagnesium chloride, reacting with propanal.
(b) Repeat the above reaction with ethylmagnesium chloride reaction with acetone (propanone).

Summary
25.79 The human body maintains a temperature of 37°C. What would happen to the rates of biological processes
should a person's body temperature drop to 27°C? This is a condition known as hypothermia.
25.80 Various processes can disrupt the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of a protein. These processes
result in a primary structure, which does not function properly. A protein with a disrupted structure is said to be
denatured. Heat will denature some proteins as is apparent when egg white cooks. A change in the pH may also
denature a protein. This occurs when an acid, such as vinegar is added to milk. (a) Which amino acids have side
chains that are likely to be susceptible to acids? (b) If the amino acids in part (a) are affected, the most likely
disruption occur in the tertiary structure of the protein. Why?

25.92 A wax, like a fat, is an ester. Beeswax contains a number of waxes. Hydrolysis of beeswax results in a
variety of long chained alcohols with from 24 to 36 carbon atoms. The fatty acid chains have up to 36 carbon
atoms. The esters are mixed with hydrocarbons containing from 21 to 33 carbon atoms. The alcohols and acids
have even numbers of carbon atoms while the hydrocarbons have odd numbers of carbon atoms. All the carbon
chains are unbranched. Saponification of a sample of beeswax results in a number of products. One of the products,
isolated through a chromatographic procedure, is soluble in cyclohexane. A total of 1.57 grams of this component
dissolves in 65.0 grams of cyclohexane to produce a solution with a melting point 1.22°C lower than pure
cyclohexane. The freezing point depression constant, Kf, for cyclohexane is 20.0°C/m. Chemical analysis of this
compound shows that it does not contain oxygen. Determine the molar mass of this compound and its molecular
formula.
