Yes , the chemist can answer if the compound in K2O or K2O2

The chemical formula and composition of both the compounds is entirely different. The compound K2O2 has an additional molecule of oxygen than K2O and hence will have have higher molecular mass.

In the compound K2O

molecular mass= 2x 39+16 =94

mass ratio of K in compound= 78/94 = 0.830

In the compound K2O2

molecular mass= 2x 39+16X2 =110

mass ratio of K in compound= 78/110 = 0.710

and hence by the required ratio while extracting K , the chemist may know if the compound is K20 or K2O2

If the ratio is anything different from 0.830 and 0.710 then the compund will be something different

How many moles of aluminum are equivalent to 4.816 x 1024 atoms?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

<h2>8 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{4.816 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  = 8 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>8 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:      31 (a) 4           32 (a) 5

                        (b) 7                 (b) 3

                        (c) 5                 (c) 5

                        (d) 3                 (d) 2

<u>Significant Figures (sf) Rules:</u>

1) Trailing zeroes are considered significant ONLY If a decimal point is provided.

2) Zeroes between the decimal point and number are NOT significant <u>unless</u> they are between numbers.

3) All digits in scientific notation are counted (disregard the exponent).

31 (a) 508.0              <em>trailing zero so use rule 1 </em>  -->  sf = 4

   (b) 820,400.0      <em>trailing zero so use rule 1 </em>  -->  sf = 7

   (c) 1.0200 x 10⁵   <em>scientific notation so use rule 3</em> --> sf = 5

    (d) 807,000         <em>no trailing zeroes so use rule 1</em> --> sf = 3

32 (a) 0.049450     <em>zero between decimal point & #, use rule 2</em> --> sf = 5

    (b) 0.000482     <em>zero between decimal point & #, use rule 2</em> --> sf = 3

    (c) 3.1587 x 10 ⁻⁸  <em>scientific notation so use rule 3</em> --> sf = 5

    (d) 0.0084          <em>zero between decimal point & #, use rule 2</em> --> sf = 2
