Some atoms<span> are more stable when they </span>gain or lose<span> an </span>electron<span> (or possibly two) and </span>form ions<span>. This results in a full outermost </span>electron<span> shell and makes them energetically more stable. Now, because the number of </span>electrons<span> does not equal the number of protons, each </span>ion<span> has a net charge.</span>

How many gram-atoms are in 120-gram sample of calcium metal? How many atoms is this?
Elden [556K]
(sample g/1) X (1 mole/40.078(MW of Ca)) = moles of sample (moles of sample)(6.022 x 10^23( no of atoms)/ 1 mole) = # of atoms in a 120 g sample of calcium Avogadro's number=6.022x 10^23 atoms in 1 mole

The pH of a solution is measured eight times by one operator using the same instrument. She obtains the following data: 7.15, 7.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

7.186

Explanation:

The mean is the average of some given data from a sample point.

To calculate the mean, we use the formula below:

             Mean = ∑fx/∑f

Where f = frequency

           x = sample data

   

From the given pH of the solutions, we can form a table:

      x                                     f                                          fx

    7.15                                  1                                         7.15

    7.16                                  1                                         7.16

    7.18                                  1                                         7.18

    7.19                                  1                                         7.19

    7.20                                 3                                        21.6

    7.21                                  1                                         7.21

Now ∑fx = 7.15 +7.16 +7.18 + 7.19 + 7.20 + 7.21 = 57.49

         ∑f = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 8

The mean = \frac{57.49}{8} = 7.18625 = 7.186
