+ 4 H2O
(l)
If an pre 1982 copper penny contains 3.10 grams of copper, what volume of 8.00
M nitric acid is required to exactly consume it? What volume of nitrogen
monoxide gas measured at STP would be produced? (Remember that 1 mole of
any gas measured at STP = 22.4 dm3)

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes slowly to produce oxygen gas and water.

Write a balanced equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. What
mass of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) must decompose to produce 0.77g of
water?

Carbon monoxide is an air pollutant found in automobile exhausts. It slowly

reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to produce carbon dioxide. Write a
balanced equation for this process. What mass of carbon dioxide would be
produced from 10.00 grams of carbon monoxide? What mass of oxygen
is required to convert the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?

Suppose that 50.0 cm3 of 2.00 M hydrochloric acid are added to 4.00 grams
