Answer:
Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don't move past one another. In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid.
From the chemical formula, 1 formula unit of KAl (SO4)2.12H2O
encompasses 1 atom of Al = 4 * 2 atoms of O in KAl (SO4)2 + 12 atoms of O in
12H2O which is equal to 20 atoms of O.
So, if you have 1.3 × 10^21 Al atoms, you have 20 * 1.3 × 10^21 O atoms will
now be equal to 2.6 * 10^22 atoms of O.
It is important to note that mass and mole pertain to different units of measurement, thus, 1 mole of one substance may have a lower or higher mass compared to a different substance. The mass of an object gives a measure of the number of atoms present in the substance while the number of moles of a substance refers to the amount of a chemical substance it has and is often used for chemical reactions.
For this problem, we first get the molar mass of each substance:
Molar mass of H2O = 18.0153 g/mol
Molar mass of C6H12O6 = 180.1559 g/mol
We then convert each substance into units of mass (grams), where:
1 mol H20 x 18.0153 g/mol = 18.0153 g H20
1 mol C6H12O6 x 180.1559 g/mol = 180.1559 g C6H12O6
It was then determined that 1 mole of glucose has more mass than 1 mole of water.
Weathering is the process of breaking large rocks and boulders into much smaller ones. Weathering can be brought about by wind and water mostly. Sometimes even biological forces account for some types of weathering.
