Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

  • <u>You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.</u>

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

<u />

<u>1. Number of moles, n</u>

      n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol

<u />

<u>2. Mass</u>

  • mass = number of moles × atomic mass
  • mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.

Which of these elements has an atom with the most stable outer electron configuration? * Cl Ca Ne Na
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure

Explanation:

The configuration of these elements is as follows;

Cl₁₇ = 2, 8,7 (the outer electron is 7)

Ca₂₀ = 2,8,8,2 (the outer electron is 2)

Ne₁₀ = 2,8 (the outer electron is 8)

Na₁₁ = 2,8,1 (the outer electron is 1)

Based on the outer electron value above, Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure.

A generator does work on an electric heater by forcing an electric current through it. Suppose 1 kJ of work is done on the heate
azamat

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the heater is 0 kJ

Explanation:

∆U = Q - W

Q is quantity of heat transferred = 1 kJ

W is work done on the heater = 1 kJ

Change in internal energy (∆U) = 1 - 1 = 0 kJ

A 1.00 liter solution contains 0.24 M hypochlorous acid and 0.31 M sodium hypochlorite. If 0.160 moles of potassium hydroxide ar
ryzh [129]

Explanation:

When OH- (as in potassium hydroxide) is added, it reacts with the acid (HOCl) to reduce the amount of HOCl and increase the concentration of  sodium hypochlorite.

Potassium hydroxide will react with the hypochlorous acid to produce hypochlorite ions. In the process, some of the weak acid will be consumed, along with the added strong base.

This occurs as follows:

HClO(aq) + KOH(aq) → KClO(aq) + H2O(l)  

since water is formed, this maintains the pH.  Thus ...

A. The number of moles of HClO will decrease. - TRUE

B. The number of moles of ClO- will increase. - TRUE

C. The equilibrium concentration of H3O+ will remain the same. - TRUE

D. The pH will decrease. - FALSE

E. The ratio of [HClO] / [ClO-] will decrease. -TRUE. It will decrease as HClO goes down and ClO- goes up.
