<span>210. moles To determine the number of moles of a substance you have, simply divide the mass of the substance you have by its molar mass. So 3.79 kg / 18.02 g/mol = 3790 g / 18.02 g/mol = 210.3218646 mol Since we only have 3 significant figures, the answer should be rounded to 3 figures, giving 210. as the result. Notice that the decimal point is required. If you state the number of moles is 210, then that answer will only have 2 significant figures. But the value of 210. has 3 significant figures.</span>

First, we will convert the mass of the gallon to grams:
a gallon of water has a mass of 3.79 * 1000 = 3790 grams of water

number of moles can be calculated using the following rule:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
Therefore,
number of moles = 3790 / 18.02 = 210.32 moles

Why edible oils shows rancidity when stored for a long time

iren2701 [21]

When edible oils are idle and stored for a long amount of time, they undergo oxidation due to the exposure to oxygen. This oxidation causes rancidity in oils.

In which of these situations is convection most likely the main form of heat transfer?

lorasvet [3.4K]

In the first situation: the mechanism of covection is the main form of heat transfer when warm air from a heater moves around and upward.

In the case of the metal pan the mechanism of heat transfer is conduction.

In the case of sunburn the mechanism is radiation.

In the case of an ice cube melting in a hand, conduction is the most important mechanism.

The atomic masses of 151eu and 153eu are 150.919860 and 152.921243 amu, respectively. The average atomic mass of europium is 151

vitfil [10]

Answer:- The natural abundance of $^1^5^1_E_u$ is 0.478 or 47.8% and $^1^5^3_E_u$ is 0.522 or 52.2% .

Solution:- Average atomic mass of an element is calculated from the atomic masses of it's isotopes and their abundances using the formula:

Average atomic mass = mass of first isotope(abundance) + mass of second isotope(abundance)

We have been given with atomic masses for $^1^5^1_E_u$ and $^1^5^3_E_u$ as 150.919860 and 152.921243 amu, respectively. Average atomic mass of Eu is 151.964 amu.

Sum of natural abundances of isotopes of an element is always 1. If we assume the abundance of $^1^5^1_E_u$ as n then the abundance of $^1^5^3_E_u$ would be 1-n .

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

$151.964=150.919860(n)+152.921243(1-n)$
