<h3>Answer:  Si   (choice D)</h3>

This is the element Silicon.

=========================================================

Explanation:

First convert each percentage to its decimal form.

For example, 92.2297% converts to 0.922297 after moving the decimal point two spots to the left.

After doing that, multiply those decimal values with their respective atomic mass unit (amu) values.

  • 27.9769 * 0.922297 = 25.8030109393
  • 28.9765 * 0.046832 = 1.357027448
  • 29.9738 * 0.030872 = 0.9253511536

Then we add up the results

25.8030109393 + 1.357027448 + 0.9253511536 = 28.0853895409

That rounds to about 28.085

Then look at the periodic table to see the atomic mass of Cobalt (Co), Aluminum (Al), Nickel (Ni) and Silicon (Si). The mass values listed in the periodic table are weighted averages of all the isotopes. The units for the mass are still in amu.

  • Cobalt = 58.933
  • Aluminum = 26.982
  • Nickel = 58.693
  • Silicon = 28.085

We have a match with silicon, showing that <u>choice D</u> is the final answer.

An aluminum can weighing 10 g absorbs 106.8 J of heat and warms by 12 degrees C. What is the specific heat of the aluminum can?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

c_{Al} = 0.89\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}

Explanation:

The heating process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

Q = m \cdot c_{Al}\cdot \Delta T

The specific heat of the aluminium can is:

c_{Al} = \frac{Q}{m\cdot \Delta T}

c_{Al} = \frac{106.8\,J}{(10\,g)\cdot (12^{\circ}C)}

c_{Al} = 0.89\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}

The chemical equation below shows the decomposition of nitrogen triiodide (NI3) into nitrogen (N2) and iodine (I2). 2NI3 Right a
yuradex [85]

The moles of I₂ will form from the decomposition of 3.58g of NI₃ is 0.0136 moles.

<h3>How we calculate moles?</h3>

Moles of any substance will be calculated as:

n = W/M, where

W = required mass

M = molar mass

Given chemical reaction is:

2NI₃ → N₂ + 3I₂

Moles of 3.58g of NI₃ will be calculated as:

n = 3.58g / 394. 71 g/mol = 0.009 moles

From the stoichiometry of the solution, it is clear that:

2 moles of NI₃ = produce 3 moles of I₂

0.009 moles of NI₃ = produce 3/2×0.009=0.0136 moles of I₂

Hence, option (3) is correct i.e. 0.0136 moles.

What is the mass, in grams, of 7.20×1020 molecules of caffeine, c8h10n4o2?
pickupchik [31]
To determine the mass, you need to know the molecular weight of the c8h10n4o2 . The molecular weight of <span>c8h10n4o2 would be: 8*12 + 10*1 + 4*14 + 2*16= 194g/mol.
To convert the number of molecules into moles, you need to divide it with 6.02 * 10^23. The calculation of the mass of </span>c8h10n4o2 would be: 
(7.20×10^20 molecules)  /(6.02 * 10^23 molecule/mol)  * 194g/mol= 232 * 10^-3 grams= 0.232 grams
