What is the average mass of a single silicon atom in grams?

Chemistry
1 answer:
torisob [31]3 years ago
5 0

1 mol of Silicon = 28.0855 g (in average)

then

1 mol = 6.022*10^23 atoms

then

28.0855/(6.022*10^23) g/atom

4.66381*10^-23 g per atom

How many molecules are in 3 moles of potassium bromide (KBr)
sattari [20]

Answer:

Your strategy here will be to use the molar mass of potassium bromide,

KBr

, as a conversion factor to help you find the mass of three moles of this compound.

So, a compound's molar mass essentially tells you the mass of one mole of said compound. Now, let's assume that you only have a periodic table to work with here.

Potassium bromide is an ionic compound that is made up of potassium cations,

K

+

, and bromide anions,

Br

−

. Essentially, one formula unit of potassium bromide contains a potassium atom and a bromine atom.

Use the periodic table to find the molar masses of these two elements. You will find

For K:

M

M

=

39.0963 g mol

For Br:

M

M

=

79.904 g mol

To get the molar mass of one formula unit of potassium bromide, add the molar masses of the two elements

M

M KBr

=

≈

So, if one mole of potassium bromide has a mas of

119 g

m it follows that three moles will have a mass of

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the number of moles of potassium bromide, but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]
m_a_m_a [10]

The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.
