Answer:

The representative particle for an element is AN ATOM.

Explanation:

Representative particle of a substance refers to the smallest unit of that substance, which can not be broken down into smaller particles. The representative particles of an element is an atom, because each element is made up of atoms, which are the smallest unit of that element; they can not be broken down further.

A representative particle is chemically identical with the parent element and will have all the properties of the parent element.

The total volume of seawater is 1.5 x 10²¹ L. Seawater contains approximately 3.5% sodium chloride by mass. At that high of a co

garri49 [273]

Answer:

There are $5.408\times 10^{22}$ grams contained in all the seawater in the world.

Explanation:

At first let is determinate the total mass of seawater ( $m_{sw}$ ), measured in grams, in the world by definition of density and considering that mass is distributed uniformly:

$m_{sw} = \rho_{sw}\cdot V_{sw}$

Where:

$\rho_{sw}$ - Density of seawater, measured in grams per liters.

$V_{sw}$ - Volume of seawater, measured in liters.

If $V_{sw} = 1.5\times 10^{21}\,L$ and $\rho_{sw} = 1030\,\frac{g}{L}$ , then:

$m_{sw}=\left(1030\,\frac{g}{L} \right)\cdot (1.5\times 10^{21}\,L)$

$m_{sw} = 1.545\times 10^{24}\,g$

The total mass of sodium chloride is determined by the following ratio:

$r = \frac{m_{NaCl}}{m_{sw}}$

$m_{NaCl} = r\cdot m_{sw}$

Given that $m_{sw} = 1.545\times 10^{24}\,g$ and $r = 0.035$ , the total mass of sodium chloride in all the seawater in the world is:

$m_{NaCl} = 0.035\cdot (1.545\times 10^{24}\,g)$

$m_{NaCl} = 5.408\times 10^{22}\,g$

There are $5.408\times 10^{22}$ grams contained in all the seawater in the world.

216 grams of carbon 36 grams of hydrogen and 288 grams of oxygen whats the empirical formula

schepotkina [342]

Divide each wight by the relative atomic mass

C = 216 / 12 = 18
H = 36 / 1 = 36
O = 288/16 = 18

Ratio of C:h:O = 1:2:1

Empirical formula is CH2O Could be formaldehyde HCHO.
