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.

Answer:

Metal

Non-metal

Explanation:

CaF2 is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are mostly composed of a metal and a non metal. Metals donate electrons to non-metals to form ionic compounds.

Calcium is a divalent ion of group two in the periodic table while F is a univalent nonmetal of group 17 in the periodic table. Hence the compound CaF2 is composed of a metal and a nonmetal.

Answer: The specific heat of calorimeter is 30.68 J/g°C

Explanation:

When hot water is added to the calorimeter, the amount of heat released by the hot water will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by cold water and calorimeter.

$Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}$
