Hello!

To do this, use the molar mass. This is how much a mole of an atom weighs. A mole is 6.02214076×10²³ atoms.

Molar masses of:

Se: 78.96 g/mol

Cu: 63.546 g/mol

Ba: 137.327 g/mol

Now, the element with the highest molar mass will have the fewest atoms. This is because the element weighs more, so therefore for the same amount of mass, there will be less of the element needed to reach that mass.

Therefore, 10g of Ba would have the fewest number of atoms.

Hope this helps!

Which group of extremophiles does thermus aquaticus belong to

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is thermophiles.

Explanation:

Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.

These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.

Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.

A flask with a volume of 3.16 l contains 9.33 grams of an unknown gas at 32.0°c and 1.00 atm. What is the molar mass of the gas?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

73.88 g/mol

Explanation:

For this question we have to keep in mind that the unknown substance is a gas, therefore we can use the ideal gas law:

$PV=nRT$

In this case we will have:

P= 1 atm

V= 3.16 L

T = 32 ªC = 305.15 ºK

R= 0.082 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$

n= ?

So, we can solve for "n" (moles):

$1~atm*3.16~L~=~n*0.082~\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*305.15~K$

$n=\frac{1~atm*3.16~L~}{0.082~\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*305.15~K}$

$n=0.126~mol$

Now, we have to remember that the molar mass value has "g/mol" units. We already have the grams (9.33 g), so we have to divide by the moles:

$molar~mass=\frac{9.33~grams}{0.126~mol}$

$molar~mass=73.88\frac{grams}{mol}$

Why do real gases not behave exactly like ideal gases?

Korvikt [17]

The theory assumes that collisions between gas molecules and the walls of a container are perfectly elastic, gas particles do not have any volume, and there are no repulsive or attractive forces between molecules .
