Answer:-  0.88

Solution:- Masses of silver and copper metals are given and we are asked to calculate the percentage of silver in the alloy.

mass percent of Ag = (\frac{mass of Ag}{mass of alloy})*100

Mass of Ag = 17.6 g

mass of Cu = 2.40 g

mass of alloy = 17.6 g + 2.40 g = 20.0 g

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

mass percentage of Ag = (\frac{17.6}{20.0})*100

mass percentage of Ag = 88%

So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.

A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of _____ in the smallest representative unit of a substance.
Firdavs [7]

A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of <u>atoms</u> in the smallest representative unit of a substance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In chemistry, a  formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.

The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.

Calculate the number of atoms in 2.0g of hydrogen atoms?
Jobisdone [24]
First you calculate how many moles there are in 2.0 grams of hydrogen (H2) atoms.
Hydrogen has a relative atomic mass (RAM) of 1 g/mol, but there are 2 hydrogen atoms: 1 x 2 = 2 g/mol

To work out how many moles there are,
use the formula: n(moles) = mass ÷ molar mass
n(moles) = 2 grams ÷ 2 g/mol = 1 mol

Then use Avogadro's Constant : 6.023 x 10^23
= 1 x 6.023 x 10^23
= 6.023 x 10^23

Final step is to multiply it by the number of atoms, in this case there are 2.
= 6.023 x 10^23 x 2
= 12.046 x 10^23
= 1.205 x 10^24

that ^ should be your final answer

have a great day :)
