Why are atoms considered the smallest particles of an element?

2 answers:

Atoms are considered the smallest particles of an element because they are the basic unit. They cannot be broken down into any smaller substance.

They are considered the smallest part of an element because when you break down an element into smaller and smaller parts, theoretically when you reach thed smallest part and you cant break it any more, it will be one atom of whatever element you are breaking down.

A container is filled with helium gas. It has a volume of 2.25 liters and contains 9.00 moles of helium. How many moles of heliu

Darina [25.2K]

Answer: There are 7.4 moles of helium gas present in a 1.85 liter container at the same temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 2.25 L, $n_{1}$ = 9.0 mol

$V_{2}$ = 1.85 L, $n_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate the moles of helium are as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{n_{2}}\\$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{n_{2}}\\\frac{2.25 L}{9.0 mol} = \frac{1.85 L}{n_{2}}\\n_{2} = \frac{1.85 L \times 9.0 mol}{2.25 L}\\= 7.4 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that there are 7.4 moles of helium gas present in a 1.85 liter container at the same temperature and pressure.

Balanced chemical equation: BaCl2(aq)+Na2SO4(aq)⟶BaSO4(s)+2NaCl(aq)

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Part 1) 85.3 grams NaCl

Part 2) 8.79 x 10²³ formula units NaCl

Explanation:

(Part 1)

To find the mass of NaCl, you need to multiply the given value (1.46 moles) by the molar mass of NaCl. This measurement is the atomic masses of the elements times each of their quantities combined. In this case, there is only one mole of each element in the molecule. Moles should be located in the denominator of the conversion to allow for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Molar Mass (NaCl): 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass (NaCl): 58.44 g/mol

1.46 moles NaCl 58.44 g
--------------------------- x ---------------- = 85.3 grams NaCl
1 mole

(Part 2)

I do not know which other question the second part is referring to, so I will just use the moles given in the first part. To find the formula units, you need to multiply the given value (1.46 moles NaCl) by Avogadro's Number. This conversion represents the number of formula units found in 1 mole of the sample. The moles should be in the denominator of the conversion to allow for the cancellation of units.

Avogadro's Number:

1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ formula units

1.46 moles NaCl 6.022 x 10²³ units
------------------------ x ----------------------------- = 8.79 x 10²³ formula units NaCl
1 mole
