The mass of piece of sterling silver jewelry is 33.24 g. It contains 92.5% silver Ag by mass. Since, sterling silver is an alloy of Ag-Cu thus, percentage of Cu will be:

% Cu=100-92.5=7.5%

Thus, mass of copper will be:

m_{Cu}=\frac{7.5}{100}\times 33.24 g=2.493 g

Molar mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol, thus, number of moles of Cu can be calculated as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Putting the values,

n=\frac{2.493 g}{63.546 g/mol}=0.03923 mol

Now, in 1 mole of Cu there are 6.303\times 10^{23}atoms thus, in 0.03923 mol, number of Cu atoms will be:

0.03923 mol\times 6.303\times 10^{23}atoms=2.363\times 10^{22} atoms

Thus, number of atoms of Cu will be2.363\times 10^{22} atoms.

45.0 g of Ca(NO3)2 are used to create a 1.3 M solution. What is the volume of the solution
Stells [14]
As we know that Molarity is given as,

                                       M = moles / V 
Solving for V,
                                        V = moles / M ------------------(1)
Also, moles is equal to,
                                       moles = mass / M. mass -------------(2)
puting value of moles from eq. 2 into eq. 1,
                                       V = (mass / M.mass) / M
Putting values,
                                       V = (45 g / 164 g/mol) / 1.3 mol/dm³

                                       V = 0.21 dm³
