Problem 1
Arrange the following elements in order of increasing size: Al, B, C, K, and Na. (Try doing it without looking at Figure $7.6,$ then check yourself by looking up the necessary atomic radii.)

Problem 2
A 182 -g sample of gold at some temperature was added to 22.1 g of water. The initial water temperature was $25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and the final temperature was $27.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ If the specific heat capacity of gold is $0.128 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{g} \cdot \mathrm{K},$ what was the initial temperature of the gold sample?

Problem 3
There are five compounds in the family of sulfur-fluorine compounds with the general formula $\mathrm{S}_{x} \mathrm{F}_{y}$. One of these compounds is $25.23 \%$ S. If you place $0.0955 \mathrm{g}$ of the compound in a $89-\mathrm{mL}$. flask at $45^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ the pressure of the gas is 83.8 mm Hg. What is the molecular formula of $\mathrm{S}_{x} \mathrm{F}_{y} ?$

Problem 4
You mix 125 mL of 0.250 M CsOH with 50.0 mL of $0.625 \mathrm{M}$ HF in a coffee-cup calorimeter, and the temperature of both solutions rises from $21.50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ before mixing to $24.40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ after the reaction. $$ \mathrm{CsOH}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{HF}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CsF}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell) $$

Problem 6
Crossword Puzzle: In the $2 \times 2$ box shown here, each answer must be correct four ways: horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and by itself. Instead of words, use symbols of elements. When the puzzle is complete, the four spaces will contain the overlapping symbols of 10 elements. There is only one correct solution. (TABLE CAN'T COPY) Horizontal 1-2: two-letter symbol for a metal used in ancient times $3-4:$ two-letter symbol for a metal that burns in air and is found in Group $5 \mathrm{A}$ Vertical $1-3:$ two-letter symbol for a metalloid 2-4: two-letter symbol for a metal used in U.S. coins Single squares: All one-letter symbols 1: a colorful nonmetal 2: colorless, gaseous nonmetal 3: an element that makes fireworks green 4: an element that has medicinal uses Diagonal 1-4: two-letter symbol for an element used in electronics 2-3: two-letter symbol for a metal used with Zr to make wires for superconducting magnets
