Chapter 9, Problem 114AE
Boron nitride (BN) exists in two forms. The first is a slippery solid formed from the reaction of BCl3 with NH3, followed by heating in an ammonia atmosphere at 750°C. Subjecting the first form of BN to a pressure of 85,000 atm at 1800°C produces a second form that is the second hardest substance known. Both forms of BN remain solids to 3000°C. Suggest structures for the two forms of BN.

2. A closed vessel of volume 10.0 L initially contains 1.303 g of water and no water vapor. Please calculate the mass of liquid water remaining once the system reaches equilibrium at 30 degrees Celsius. The vapor pressure of water at that temperature is equal to 0.0418 atm.
A sample of solid zinc was reacted with a sample of hydrochloric acid as shown in the reaction. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
The H2 gas produced was collected by displacement of water at 27 degrees Celsius at a total pressure of 0.219 atm. The volume of gas collected over the water was 0.450 L, and the vapor pressure of the water at 27 degrees Celsius is 0.036 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of H2 in the gas collected. Report your answer to the correct number of significant figures as well as with the correct units.
