What are the elements used to make the ingrediants of each category (the same element may be listed in several categories, but a maximum of once in each of the 6 categories, no matter how many different ingrediants it may be in)?
**name of the element with the symbol and atomic number after it (eg. Helium He-2)**
(1) Cartridge Case (1 component, 2 elements)
(2) Black Powder (3 componenets, 6 elements)
(3) paper (Cellulose) (3 components, 3 elements)
(4) Cast Bullet (1 component, 3 elements)
(5) Old-time Bullet Lube (3 components: sheep fat, paraffin, beeswax, and only 3 elements)
(6) Primer (approx 6-7 components: initiator fuel, oxidizer, metallic powder, binder, fuel, metal cup/anvil, other possibilities and approx 15 elements)
Based on the given categories, here are the elements used to make the ingredients:
(1) Cartridge Case:
- Copper (Cu-29)
- Zinc (Zn-30)
(2) Black Powder:
- Potassium nitrate (KNO3)
- Charcoal (C)
- Sulfur (S-16)
(3) Paper (Cellulose):
- Carbon (C)
- Hydrogen (H-1)
- Oxygen (O-8)
(4) Cast Bullet:
- Lead (Pb-82)
- Antimony (Sb-51)
- Tin (Sn-50)
(5) Old-time Bullet Lube:
- Sheep fat
- Paraffin
- Beeswax
(6) Primer:
- Initiator fuel (e.g., lead azide)
- Oxidizer (e.g., barium nitrate)
- Metallic powder (e.g., aluminum)
- Binder (e.g., ethyl cellulose)
- Fuel (e.g., powdered charcoal)
- Metal cup/anvil
- Other possibilities (various additives)
- Elements (approximately 15 elements, depending on the specific composition)
To determine the elements used in the ingredients of each category, we need to analyze the components listed and identify the elements associated with them. Let's go through each category:
(1) Cartridge Case:
- It has one component, so we need to identify one element.
- Unfortunately, the specific components for the cartridge case are not provided, so we cannot determine the element(s) involved.
(2) Black Powder:
- It has three components: initiator fuel, oxidizer, and metallic powder.
- We need to identify the elements associated with each component.
- The specific components for black powder are not provided, so we cannot determine the elements involved.
(3) Paper (Cellulose):
- It has three components for cellulose.
- We need to identify the elements involved with cellulose.
- Cellulose is a polymer made up of repeating units of glucose.
- Glucose's molecular formula is C6H12O6.
- Therefore, the element in cellulose is Carbon (C) with an atomic number of 6.
(4) Cast Bullet:
- It has one component, so we need to identify one element.
- Unfortunately, the specific components for the cast bullet are not provided, so we cannot determine the element(s) involved.
(5) Old-time Bullet Lube:
- It has three components: sheep fat, paraffin, and beeswax.
- We need to identify the elements associated with each component.
- Sheep fat is primarily composed of fatty acids, which contain Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O).
- Paraffin is a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily composed of Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H).
- Beeswax is a complex mixture of lipid compounds, which contain Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O).
(6) Primer:
- It has approximately six to seven components, which include initiator fuel, oxidizer, metallic powder, binder, fuel, metal cup/anvil, and possibly others.
- Unfortunately, the specific components for the primer are not provided, so we cannot determine the element(s) involved.
In summary, based on the information provided, we can only identify the element Carbon (C) in the components of Cellulose (paper) and potentially in the components of Old-time Bullet Lube. The elements involved in the other categories cannot be determined without more specific information.
