How many oxygen atoms are in 2.80 g of quartz?

1 answer:

4 0

The chemical formula for quartz is SiO₂
Percentage by mass of oxygen = (2 x 16) x 100 / (28 + 2 x 16)
Percentage by mass of oxygen = 53.3%

Mass of oxygen in sample = 0.533 x 2.8
Mass of oxygen = 1.49 grams

Moles of oxygen = 1.49 / 16
Moles = 0.093

One mole contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles
Thus, the atoms of oxygen:
0.093 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 5.6 x 10²²

Answer: D) 2.37°C

Explanation:

$4.39x10^5J(\frac{g°C}{4.184J} )(\frac{kg}{1000g})(\frac{1}{44.3kg} )$ $=2.37°C$
