Answer:

b. First determine the mass of the sample and then convert it to the number of atoms using Avogadro's number and the molar mass of the element.

Explanation:

a. First determine the mass of the sample and then convert it to the number of atoms using the molar mass of the element. FALSE. As the mass is in grams and molar mass is in g/mol. This result in the moles of each element, not its number of atoms.

b. First determine the mass of the sample and then convert it to the number of atoms using Avogadro's number and the molar mass of the element. TRUE. Mass and molar mass will result in moles of element. These moles could be converted in number of atoms using Avogadro's number that is in # atoms per mole.

c.Use atomic microscope to determine Avogadro's number, then determine the mass of the sample and convert it to the number of atoms. FALSE. An atomic microscope is not used to determine Avogadro's number.

d.Use atomic microscope to count each atom. FALSE. There is not possible to count every single atom in an element. There are more atoms in a drop of water than stars in the sky.

I hope it helps!

Substitute natural gas (SNG) is a gaseous mixture containing CH4(g) that can be used as a fuel. One reaction for the production

Lynna [10]

Answer:

ΔH° of the reaction is -747.54kJ

Explanation:

Based on gas law, it is possible to find the ΔH of a reaction using ΔH of half reactions.

Using the reactions:

(1) C(graphite) + 1/2O₂(g) → CO(g) ΔH° = -110.5 kJ

(2) CO(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) ΔH° = -283.0 kJ

(3) H₂(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → H₂O(l) ΔH° = -285.8 kJ

(4) C(graphite) + 2H₂(g) → CH₄(g) ΔH° = -74.81 kJ

(5) CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) ΔH° = -890.3 kJ

The sum of 4×(4) + (5) gives:

4C(graphite) + 8H₂(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 3CH₄(g)

ΔH° = -74.81 kJ ×4 - 890.3 kJ = -1189.54kJ

Now, this reaction - 4×(1) gives:

4CO(g) + 8H₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 3CH₄(g)

ΔH° = -1189.54kJ - 4×-110.5 = -747.54kJ

Thus ΔH° of the reaction is -747.54kJ

Imagine a small synthetic vesicle made from pure phospholipids enclosing an interior lumen containing 1 mM glucose and 1 mM sodi

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

C. H2O diffuses in.

Explanation:

The phospholipids-made synthetic vesicle in this case will act like a semi-permeable membrane while the solution in the interior lumen will be hypertonic to the surrounding pure water.

Hence, water molecules will diffuse into the lumen through the semi-permeable membrane because of the osmotic gradient that exist between the internal and the surrounding solution of the vesicle.

Help!!! I need ur help! If u help me I’m going to be so happy. The question is so tricky for me and I don’t know it. If u help m

I take that the insects remain constant no matter what happens to the frogs (which the frogs eat presumably). So a constant food supply for the frogs is not the problem.

The line for the alligators increases over time. It their numbers increase, the frogs are in trouble. The alligators will pursue lunch with determined single mindedness and there are more of them around.

So the frogs should decrease. Their natural enemy is the alligator and alligators won't go after insects. It's not worth their time.

A is the only answer you can choose.
