Students can develop alternative conceptions (commonly called misconceptions) inrelation to some core concepts in chemistry. Consider each of the following ideasexpressed by students and suggest how you would address these incorrect ideasthrough experimental work and class discussion:(i) Sugar (e.g. glucose) and salt (e.g. NaCl) both dissolve in water and thereforeboth are ionic compounds.(ii) Breaking bonds releases energy.(iii) Adding reactant A to reactant B will always produce the same products asadding reactant B to reactant A.(iv) In the reaction of Fe + S --> FeS, adding 10 g of Fe to 10 g S will produce 10g of FeS.
(a) Atoms are very small compared to objects on the macroscopic scale. The radius of a aluminum atom is 143
pm. What is this value in meters and in centimeters?
m
cm
(b) The mass of a single aluminum atom is 4.48×10-23 g. Suppose enough Al atoms were lined up like beads on
a string to span a distance of 37.7 cm (15 inches). How many atoms would be required?
atoms
What mass in grams of Al would be used?
g
Could you weigh out this amount of aluminum using a typical laboratory balance?
(c) Taking the density of aluminum metal to be 2.70 g/cm³, calculate the mass of metal needed to form a piece of
Al wire with the same length as the distance in b, but with a diameter of 1.00 mm. Hint: The volume of a cylinder is
n times its radius squared times its height. (V = n r² h)
How many aluminum atoms does this represent?
