1.5 mol of the complex substance carbon dioxide (CO2) is just a few oxygen atoms:
laila [671]

Answer:

9.03 x 10²³atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of CO₂  = 1.5mol

Unknown:

Number of atoms  = ?

Solution:

In a mole of a substance, we have the Avogadro's number of particles which is 6.02 x 10²³atoms.

  Using this number, we can determine the amount of atoms in any substance.

If;

       1 mole of CO₂ contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms;

     1.5mole of CO₂ will contain 1.5 x 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

                                                = 9.03 x 10²³atoms

Which characteristics are common to the three isotopes of hydrogen?
allsm [11]
D should be the correct answer.  isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic masses (number of protons and neutrons).  isotopes also have the same number of electrons since atoms need to have equal numbers of protons and electrons to not be considered ions.  Since the number of protons determines the chemical properties of the atom, we can say that all isotopes have the same chemical properties due to the fact that all isotopes have the same atomic number.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
