Iodine 131 and iodine 126 are the same in the sense that, they both have the same number of electrons and protons in their atoms, it is only the number of their neutrons that is different. Iodine 131 has 78 neutrons while iodine 126 has 73 neutrons.

How many atoms are there in 8.88 g Si?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in 8.88 grams of silicon.

<h3>1. Grams to Moles </h3>

First, we convert grams to moles. We use the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. These values are found on the Periodic Table as they are equal to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up silicon's molar mass.

Si: 28.085 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a conversion factor with the molar mass.

$\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

We are converting 8.88 grams of silicon to moles, so we multiply by this value.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of silicon cancel.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 \ g \ Si}$

$8.88 *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 }$

$\frac {8.88} { 28.085 } \ mol \ Si$

$0.316183015845 \ mol \ Si$

<h3>2. Moles to Atoms </h3>

Next, we convert moles to atoms. We use Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of silicon.

Set up another conversion factor.

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$
