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!

1) How many molecules are there in 985 mL of nitrogen at 0.0° C and 1.00 x 10-6 mm Hg?

RSB [31]

Answer : The number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, $3.48\times 10^{13}$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas by using ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = Pressure of $N_2$ gas = $1.00\times 10^{-6}mmHg=1.32\times 10^{-9}atm$ (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of $N_2$ gas = 985 mL = 0.982 L (1 L = 1000 mL)

n = number of moles $N_2$ = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821L.atm/mol.K$

T = Temperature of $N_2$ gas = $0.0^oC=273+0.0=273K$

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

$(1.32\times 10^{-9}atm)\times 0.982L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 273K$

$n=5.78\times 10^{-11}mol$

Now we have to calculate the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas.

As we know that 1 mole of substance contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

As, 1 mole of $N_2$ gas contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules

So, $5.78\times 10^{-11}$ mole of $N_2$ gas contains $(5.78\times 10^{-11})\times (6.022\times 10^{23})=3.48\times 10^{13}$ number of molecules

Therefore, the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, $3.48\times 10^{13}$

Which statement best describes a typical difference that could be found between the "Analysis" and "Conclusion" sections of a

IgorC [24]

The statement “Only the “Conclusion” section discusses whether the original hypothesis was supported, and both sections suggest further research”, best describes the difference between analysis and conclusion.

Answer: Option 4

Explanation:

In research, we do experiments and derive the results. Then, those results were analyzed by us. In this analysis part, we compare our results with the related results published elsewhere. Also, we correlate the similarities and point out the differences between our analysis and other reported results.

In conclusion part, we have to check hypothesis or it supported. And, we summarise our analysis and figure out the further research need to be done on that to improvise our research. So, the final statement is the correct option which best describes the difference between analysis and conclusion.
