Your feet get hot walking across a beach. which type of heat transfer is occurring from the sand to your feet?

Andrews [41]

The heat transfer just occurred is mainly conduction.

Conduction happens when two objects are in contact with each other. In the hotter object, the molecules and/or free electrons have a higher kinetic energy, thus they'll travel and collide into other molecules, resulting in spreading the energy to the other object.

The heat transfer happens until thermal equilibrium, where both objects have the same temperature and their molecules have the same kinetic energy rate.

In addition, radiation is also happening since everything that has a higher temperature than the environment is a net emitter. They release electromagnetic waves that turn out to be radiation. These occur even without the presence of air.

What are the products in a chemical reaction?

zlopas [31]

Products are the species formed from chemical reactions. During a chemical reaction reactants are transformed into products after passing through a high energy transition state. This process results in the consumption of the reactants.

What is the mass of 4.99×1021 platinum atoms?

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.62 \ g \ Pt}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a number of platinum (Pt) atoms.

<h3>1. Convert Atoms to Moles </h3>

First, we convert atoms to moles using 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 platinum atoms.

We will convert using dimensional analysis so we set up a ratio using the information we know (6.022 × 10²³ platinum atoms in 1 mole of platinum).

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

We are converting 4.99 ×10²¹ atoms of Pt to moles of Pt, so we multiply by this value.

$4.99 \times 10^{21} \ atoms \ Pt *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Pt}{ 1 \ mol \ Pt}$

Flip the ratio so the units of atoms of platinum cancel.

$4.99 \times 10^{21} \ atoms \ Pt *\frac { 1 \ mol \ Pt}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Pt}$

$4.99 \times 10^{21} *\frac { 1 \ mol \ Pt}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}$

$\frac { 4.99 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \ mol \ Pt$

Divide.

$0.008286283627 \ mol \ Pt$

<h3>2. Convert Moles to Grams </h3>

Next, we convert moles to grams using the molar mass. This is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. This is found on the Periodic Table because it is equivalent to the atomic mass, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up platinum's molar mass.

Pt: 195.08 g/mol

Set up another ratio using this new information (195.08 grams of Pt in 1 mole of Pt).

$\frac {195.08 \ g \ Pt}{ 1 \ mol \ Pt}$

Multiply by the number of moles we just calculated.

$0.008286283627 \ mol \ Pt*\frac {195.08 \ g \ Pt}{ 1 \ mol \ Pt}$

The units of moles of platinum cancel.

$0.008286283627*\frac {195.08 \ g \ Pt}{ 1 }$

$0.008286283627* {195.08 \ g \ Pt}$

$1.61648821\ g \ Pt$

<h3>3. Round</h3>

The original measurement of atoms ( 4.99 ×10²¹ ) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredth place. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

$1.62 \ g \ Pt$

There are approximately <u>1.62 grams of platinum</u> in 4.99 ×10²¹ atoms of platinum.
