Where does most of the mass of the universe come from? In ordinary matter, most of the mass is contained in atoms, and the majority of the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus, made of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are each made of three quarks.

SnO2 + 2 H2 ——> Sn + 2 H2O
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

0.15g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of water = 1.2 x 10²¹ molecules

Unknown:

Mass of SnO₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to work from the known to the unknown specie;

             SnO₂   +    2H₂    →   Sn  +   2H₂O

Ensure that the equation given is balanced;

       

Now,

          the known species is water;

                  6.02 x 10²³ molecules of water  = 1 mole

                   1.2 x 10²¹ molecules of water  = \frac{1.2 x 10^{21} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }    = 0.2 x 10⁻²moles

Number of moles of water  = 0.002moles

           From the balanced chemical equation:

         

             2 mole of water is produced from 1 mole of    SnO₂  

           0.002 moles of water will be produced from \frac{0.002}{2}  = 0.001moles

To find the mass;

           Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of  SnO₂ = 118.7 + 2(16) = 150.7g/mol

        Mass  =  0.001 x 150.7 = 0.15g

Who was the first to propose the idea of atoms?
VMariaS [17]

Answer::Democritus

Explanation

The idea that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles, or atoms, is believed to have originated with the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student Democritus of Abdera in the 5th century B.C. (The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “indivisible.”) These thinkers held that,
