Explanation:

one mole contains Avogadro number of particles

So,

40g( the atomic mass) contains 6.023× 10^23 atoms.

so 1 g contains 40÷(6.023×10^23)

so, 52.3 g contains (40×52.3) ÷6.023×10^23

= 3.47× 10^-21

What are two reasons why scientists use the metric system

omeli [17]

The metric system is used because it is based on the number 10. Ten is easy to use for mathematical operations and conversions.

It is also easy to use for scientific notation when you are referring to powers of ten. There are extremely large and extremely small numbers in science. Thus, scientific notation allows for accurate abbreviated ways to symbolize these numbers. For instance, if I were to say 1,000, in scientific notation it would be 1 x 10 ^3. If I was to say 1,000,000, I would scientifically write 1 x 10 ^6.

Zinc metal and aqueous silver nitrate react to give Zn(NO3)2(aq) plus silver metal. When 5.00 g of Zn(s) and solution containing

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : The percent yield is, 83.51 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Zn = 5.00 g

Mass of $AgNO_3$ = 25.00 g

Molar mass of Zn = 65.38 g/mole

Molar mass of $AgNO_3$ = 168.97 g/mole

Molar mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Zn and $AgNO_3$ .

$\text{ Moles of }Zn=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Zn}{\text{ Molar mass of }Zn}=\frac{5.00g}{65.38g/mole}=0.0765moles$

$\text{ Moles of }AgNO_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }AgNO_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }AgNO_3}=\frac{25.00g}{168.97g/mole}=0.1479moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Zn+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $AgNO_3$ react with 1 mole of $Zn$

So, 0.1479 moles of $AgNO_3$ react with $\frac{0.1479}{2}=0.07395$ moles of $Zn$

From this we conclude that, $Zn$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $AgNO_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Ag$
