The correct answer is exactly 750 g.

Since the mass of board is 750 g, the mass of the pile of sawdust after the whole board is ground down is 750 g.

This is according to the Law of conservation of mass. According to this law, matter can neither be created nor destroyed by any physical transformations or chemical reactions. In any chemical reaction the mass of the products is equal to the mass of the reactants.

Here the board undergoes a physical transformations from being a whole board to a pile of sawdust. Thus according to the Law of conservation of mass, the mass of the whole board will be equal to the mass of a pile of sawdust.

How many carbon atoms are there in .500 mol of CO2?

AURORKA [14]

Answer: There are $3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$ .

Explanation:

According to the mole concept, there are $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 1 mole of a substance.

In a molecule of $CO_{2}$ there is only one carbon atom present. Therefore, number of carbon atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$ are as follows.

$1 \times 0.500 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 3.011 \times 10^{23}$

Thus, we can conclude that there are $3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$ .

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of indium: indium-113 and indium-115. How many neutrons are in a single atom of indiu

KonstantinChe [14]

There are 66 neutrons in a single atom of indium-115. The atomic number of indium-115 is 49, meaning there are 49 protons. Then the atomic mass is 115, so 115-49 = 66.
