A. The mass of one mole of the virus is calculated by multiplying the mass of a single virus by the Avogadro's number which is equal to 6.022 x 10^23. Performing this operation,
mass = (9.0 x 10^-12 mg)(6.022 x 10^23) = 5.42 x 10^12 mg
In correct number of significant figures, the answer would only have to be 5.4 x 10^12 mg.
b. The number of moles of the virus that will have the same mass as the oil tanker is calculated by dividing the mass of the oil tanker by the mass of one mole of the virus. Note that doing division, both would have to have the same units.
n = (3.0 x 10^7 kg) / (5.4 x 10^12 mg)(1 g/1000 mg)(1 kg/1000 g)
Simplifying,
n = 6
In correct number of significant figures, the answer is 6.0.
The answer is Na < Cl
Chlorine is more electronegative than sodium because this follows the trend of the periodic table. The trend states that an element's electronegativity increases from left to right of a period and bottom to up of a group. Since sodium and chlorine are from the same period, and chlorine is at the right of sodium, chlorine is more electronegative.
d, one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen
