In 58.2 grams of Na there is 1.51 x 10^24 atoms.

<h3>Mole calculation</h3>

To calculate the amount of atoms present in a mass sample, it is necessary to have knowledge of the molar mass of the element and Avogadro's constant, used in such a way that:

MM_Na= 23g/mol

C = 6\times 10^{23}

                                       MM = \frac{m}{mol}

                                    23 = \frac{58.2}{x} = > 2.53 atoms

Now, with the value of the number of moles, just calculate the number of atoms present, so that:

                                       atoms = mol \times C

                                     atoms = 2.53 \times 6 \times 10^{23}

                                        atoms = 1.51 \times 10^{24}

So, in 58.2 grams of Na there is 1.51 x 10^24 atoms.

A strand of hair is approximately 50 μm thick. If the diameter of an atom is 1 × 10-10 m, how many atoms thick is a strand of ha
Kazeer [188]

Thickness of strand hair = 50 μm

Diameter of an atom  = 1 \times 10^{-10} m

Now, with the help of conversion factors, convert thickness in micrometer into meter i.e. 1 micrometer = 10^{-6}m

So, thickness of strand hair =50 μm= 50 \times 10^{-6} m

Therefore,

number of atoms thick is a strand of hair =  50 \times 10^{-6}m\times \frac{1 atom}{1 \times 10^{-10}m}

= 50\times 10^{4}atoms

Hence, number of atoms is 50\times 10^{4}atomsthick is a strand of hair.

_____ might be able to detect tumors based on its use of X-rays and ability to produce cross-sectional images of the brain.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: CAT (computerized axial tomography) scan

Explanation:

Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) scan is an X-ray examination in which a computer generates images showing cross-section views of a patient's internal parts (brain, blood vessels and etc.)

CAT scan can identify normality and detect abnormalities (such as tumor and degenerated cells) in the internal organs and structures and hence, this information are used to guide other medical processes.
