How can you efficiently determine the number of atoms in a sample of an element?

Chemistry

nata0808 [166]3 years ago
3 0

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.  <em>FALSE. </em>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.  <em>TRUE. </em>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.  <em>FALSE. </em>An atomic microscope is not used to determine Avogadro's number.

d.Use atomic microscope to count each atom. <em>FALSE. </em>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!

What product is obtaned when carbon is
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Since hydrocarbon fuels only contain two elements, we always obtain the same two products when they burn. In the equation below methane (CH 4) is being burned. The oxygen will combine with the carbon and the hydrogen in the methane molecule to produce carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2O).

Carbon, as graphite, burns to form gaseous carbon (IV) oxide (carbon dioxide), CO2. ... When the air or oxygen supply is restricted, incomplete combustion to carbon monoxide, CO, occurs. 2C(s) + O2(g) → 2CO(g) This reaction is important. When one mole of carbon is exposed to some energy in the presence of one mole of oxygen gas, one mole of carbon dioxide gas is produced. This reaction is a combustion reaction.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The student is Incorrect

Explanation:

Even if you break a magnet the poles still remains same. There is no

difference in the magnet Both north  and south pole will be there even if you

cut it in to small pieces when you cut it into pieces, if suppose you  break 2

magnets and put north and north together it will repel whereas if there  are  

different  poles like north and south it will attract, so even if you break one

single magnet the different poles will attract, Hence the student is incorrect.

Please mark me as brainliest

<h3><u>Thank you </u>:)</h3>

An open system is when there is a transfer of energy and matter with its surroundings.

A closed system is where there is a transfer of energy, may it be heat or work, but not matter with its surroundings.

An isolated system is where there is no transfer of energy or matter with its surroundings.
