Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A qualitative observation is defined as the observation which can only be expressed in word and not in numbers.

For example, Garlic has strong pungent odor.

This basically describes the quality of garlic that we can never express through numbers.

Whereas a quantitative observation is defined as the observation that can be expressed by number only.

For example, Garlic contains 84% water and 13% organic matter.

This shows that amount of water and organic matter present in a garlic. Hence, it is a quantitative observation.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options garlic contains 84% water and 13% organic matter, is NOT a qualitative observation.

I believe it is D because it is giving data about the garlic while the other answers are observations of the garlic

A sample of sodium sulfite has a mass of 2.80 g.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

For a: The number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b: The number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c: The mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

Explanation:

The chemical formula of sodium sulfite is $Na_2SO_3$ . It is formed by the combination of 2 sodium $(Na^+)$ ions and 1 sulfite $(SO_3^{2-})$ ions

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of sodium sulfite = 2.80 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfite}=\frac{2.80g}{126g/mol}=0.022mol$

For a:

Moles of sodium ions in sodium sulfite = (2 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(2\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.65\times 10^{22}$ number of sodium ions

Hence, the number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b:

Moles of sulfite ions in sodium sulfite = (1 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(1\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.325\times 10^{22}$ number of sulfite ions

Hence, the number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c:

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

According to mole concept:

$6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units are present in 1 mole of a compound

Or, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units of sodium sulfite have a mass of 126 grams

So, 1 formula unit of sodium sulfite will have a mass of = $\frac{126}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 1=2.09\times 10^{-22}g$

Hence, the mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

If an atom has 13 electrons how many electron shells does it have

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an atom has 13 electrons then it belongs to p-block of periodic table.

s level can accommodate 2 electrons.

p level can accommodate 6 electrons.

13 means 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1.

As you can see there totally 5 sub-shells.

Total number of shells are 3(1,2,3).

Which part of the periodic would contain an element with a partially filled f sublevel

noname [10]

Answer: Lanthanide and actinide series

Explanation: The elements with partially or fully filled f orbitals belong to f block elements.

f block elements include lanthanides and actinides. They are called so the lanthanides contain the first element named as lanthanum and actinides contain first element named as actinium. They are also called as inner transition elements.

All of them have general electronic configuration:

$(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-10}ns^2$ , where n = 6-7

<h3>What is a Microscope?</h3>

A microscope is an instrument which is used to view smaller objects such as

microbe,cells, tissues etc. This instrument is used in viewing the different

cells found in the body as they can't be seen with the eye.

The remaining options which can be seen with the eyes don't require

the use of microscopes.
