<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.

How many molecules are contaiined in 125 grams of water, H2O?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Water has a molar mass of 18.015 g/mol . This means that one mole of water molecules has a mass of 18.015 g . So, to sum this up, 6.022⋅1023 molecules of water will amount to 1 mole of water, which in turn will have a mass of 18.015 g . 2.7144moles H2O ⋅6.022⋅1023molec.

Water can be formed in the following reaction:
andreev551 [17]

Answer is: 10 moles of water will be produced.

Balanced chemical reaction of formation of water:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.

n(H₂) = 10 mol; amount of hydrogen gas.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂) : n(H₂O) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).

n(H₂O) = n(H₂).

n(H₂O) = 10 mol; amount of water.

Explain why 1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The quantity of heat required to vapourize 1 mole of a substance depends on the kind of intermolecular forces between the molecules of the substance. Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces compared to the stronger hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Therefore,  1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to  vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

Intermolecular forces hold the molecules a substance together in a given state of matter. The properties of a substance such as boiling point, melting point etc are dependent on the nature of intermolecular forces holding the molecules of the substance.

Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces while molecules of ethanol are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Since hydrogen bonds are much stronger than dispersion forces, a greater quantity of heat is required to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in ethanol in order to vapourize them than is required to vapourize diethyl ether.

Therefore, owing to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules of ethanol, less heat is required to vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.
