Elements cannot be broken down in this fashion.
Compounds, homogeneous mixtures, and heterogeneous mixtures can be broken down or separated with chemical processes, or in some cases, just by manual separation.
Chemical formula of the glucose: C₆H₁₂O₆
We calculate the molar mass:
atomic mass (C)=12 u
atomic mass (H)=1 u
atomic mass (O)=16 u
atomic weight (C₆H₁₂O₆)=6(12 u)+12(1u)+6(16 u)=72 u+12u+96 u=180 u.
Therefore : 1 mol of glucose will be 180 g
The molar mass would be: 180 g/ mol
2) we calculate the number of moles of 1.5 g.
180 g---------------------1 mol
1.5 g---------------------- x
x=(1.5 g * 1 mol) / 180 g≈8.33*10⁻³ moles
we knows that:
1 mol = 6.022 * 10²³ particles (atoms or molecules)
3)We calculate the number of molecules:
Therefore:
1 mol-----------------------6.022*10²³ molecules of glucose
8.33*10⁻³ moles-------- x
x=(8.33*10⁻³ moles * 6.022*10²³ molecules)/1 mol≈5.0183*10²¹ molecules.
4)We calculate the number of C, H and O atoms:
A molecule of glucose have 6 atoms of C, 12 atoms of H, and 6 atoms of O,
number of atoms of C=(6 atoms/1 molecule)(5.0183*10²¹molecules)≈
3.011*10²²
number of atoms of H=(12 atoms/1 molecule)(5.0183*10²¹ molecules)≈
6.022*10²² .
number of atoms of O=(6 atoms/1 molecule)(5.0183*10²¹ molecules)≈
3.011*10²²
Answer: we have 3.011*10²² atoms of C, 6.022*10²² atoms of H, and 3.011*10²² atoms of O.
Explanation:
The chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT
because charge on magnesium ion is +2 and charge on sulfide ion is -2.
Therefore, these charges will cancel out each other as we write the formula in simplest crisscross method.
Also, the numbers in a chemical formula display the total number of atoms attached with each other or central atom.
For example, in
there are two chlorine atoms attached to one calcium atom.
Therefore,
denotes one sulfur atom is attached to magnesium atom. Hence, we do not write the formula of magnesium sulfide as
because this shows two magnesium atoms are attached to two sulfur atoms which is not true.
Hydrogen is grouped with the alkali metals because they are grouped based on their properties and behavior, and like the other elements in Group 1 (1A), it only has one valence.
