The answer to this question would be: 2 mol

To answer this question, you need to know the molecular weight of Potassium. Molecular weight determines how much the weight of 1 mol of a molecule has. 
Potassium or Kalium molecular weight is 39.1 gram/mol. Then, 78.20gram of potassium should be: 78.20g/ (39.1g/mol)= 2 mol

The number of moles contains 78.20 grams of potassium is \boxed{2{\text{ moles}}}.

Further Explanation:

Mole is a measure of the amount of substance. Mole is the relation between the mass of substance and molar mass of substance. It is defined as the mass of a substance in grams divided by its molar mass (g/mol).

The formula to calculate the number of moles is as follows:

{\text{Number of moles}}\;=\;\frac{{{\text{Given mass}}\left({\text{g}}\right)}}{{{\text{molar mass}}\left({{\text{g/mol}}}\right)}}      ...... (1)

The given mass of the potassium atom is 78.20 grams.

According to the periodic table, the atomic mass of potassium (K) atom is 39.098 amu therefore, the molar mass of the potassium atom is 39.098 g/mol.

The formula to calculate the number of moles of potassium is as follows:

{\text{Number of moles K}}\;=\;\frac{{{\text{Given mass of K}}\left({\text{g}}\right)}}{{{\text{molar mass of K}}\left({{\text{g/mol}}}\right)}}       …… (2)

Substitute 78.20 g for given mass of K and 39.098 g/mol for molar mass of K in equation (2).

\begin{gathered}{\text{Number of moles K}}\;=\;\frac{{{\text{Given mass of K}}\left({\text{g}}\right)}}{{{\text{molar mass of K}}\left({{\text{g/mol}}}\right)}}\\=\frac{{78.20{\text{g}}}}{{39.098{\text{ g/mol}}}}\\=2.00{\text{ mol}}\\\end{gathered}

The value of the number of moles of potassium is 2.00 moles.

Put the steps in the process of photosynthesis in order
shepuryov [24]

Step 1-Light Dependent

CO2 and H2O enter the leaf

Step 2- Light Dependent

Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2

Step 3- Light Dependent

The electrons move down to enzymes

Step 4-Light Dependent

Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH

Step 5-Light independent

The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.

Step 6-Light independent

The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose

calvin cycle

The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions), involving atmospheric CO2 fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate.

Michelle is trying to find the average atomic mass of a sample of an unknown
GREYUIT [131]

The average atomic mass of her sample is 114.54 amu

Let the 1st isotope be A

Let the 2nd isotope be B

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Abundance of isotope A (A%) = 59.34%
  • Mass of isotope A = 113.6459 amu
  • Mass of isotope B = 115.8488 amu
  • Abundance of isotope B (B%) = 100 – 59.34 = 40.66%
  • Average atomic mass =?

The average atomic mass of the sample can be obtained as follow:

Average \: atomic \: mass \:  =  \frac{mass \: of \: A \times A\%}{100}  + \frac{mass \: of \: B \times B\%}{100}  \\  \\ Average \: atomic \: mass \:  =  \frac{113.6459\times 59.34}{100} + \frac{115.8488\times 40.66}{100} \\  \\ Average \: atomic \: mass \:  = 114.54 \: amu  \\  \\

Thus, the average atomic mass of the sample is 114.54 amu
