Answer: option b) 1 dg

Explanation:

1) These are the different equivalences of those quantities:

a) 1 g = 100 cg ⇒ 1 cg = 0.01 g

b) 1 g = 10 dg ⇒ 1 dg = 0.1 g

c) 1 g = 1000 mg ⇒ 1 mg = 0.001 g

d) 1g = 10⁹ g ⇒ 1 ng = 10 ⁻⁹g

2) Now that you have all the masures in grams you can compare:

0.1g > 0.01g > 0.001g > 10 ⁻⁹g

3) So, the largest value is 0.1g which is 1 dg.

Some covalent compounds contain atoms of just one element. true or false?

kifflom [539]

True, because diatomic elements (H2, O2, F2, Br2, I2, N2, Cl2) consist of only one element but are molecules with covalent bonds.

What is the empirical formula for a compound composed of 0.0683 mol of carbon ( C ), 0.0341 mol of hydrogen ( H ), and 0.1024 mo

liubo4ka [24]

The empirical formula for a compound composed of 0.0683 mol of carbon ( C ), 0.0341 mol of hydrogen ( H ), and 0.1024 mol of nitrogen ( N ) is $C_2HN_3$ .

<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>

An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.

Given data:

Moles of carbon = 0.0683 mol

Moles of hydrogen = 0.0341 mol

Moles of nitrogen = 0.1024 mol

Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 0.0341 moles.

We get:

Carbon= 2

Hydrogen=1

Nitrogen=3

The empirical formula for a compound is $C_2HN_3$ .

he population of the Earth is roughly eight billion people. If all free electrons contained in this extension cord are evenly sp

wolverine [178]

1) Drift velocity: $3.32\cdot 10^{-4}m/s$

2) $5.6\cdot 10^{13}$ electrons per person

Explanation:

For a current flowing through a conductor, the drift velocity of the electrons is given by the equation:

$v_d=\frac{I}{neA}$

where

I is the current

n is the concentration of free electrons

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the electron charge

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

The cross-sectional area can be written as

$A=\pi r^2$

where r is the radius of the wire. So the equation becomes

$v_d=\frac{I}{ne\pi r^2}$

In this problem, we have:

I = 8.0 A is the current

$8.5\cdot 10^{28} m^{-3}$ is the concentration of free electrons

d = 1.5 mm is the diameter, so the radius is

r = 1.5/2 = 0.75 mm = $0.75\cdot 10^{-3}m$

Therefore, the drift velocity is:

$v_d=\frac{8.0}{(8.5\cdot 10^{28})(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})\pi(0.75\cdot 10^{-3})^2}=3.32\cdot 10^{-4}m/s$

The total length of the cord in this problem is

L = 3.00 m

While the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.75\cdot 10^{-3})^2=1.77\cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

Therefore, the volume of the cord is

$V=AL$ (1)

The number of electrons per unit volume is $n$ , so the total number of electrons in this cord is

$N=nV=nAL=(8.5\cdot 10^{28})(1.77\cdot 10^{-6})(3.0)=4.5\cdot 10^{23}$

In total, the Earth population consists of 8 billion people, which is

$N'=8\cdot 10^9$

Therefore, the number of electrons that each person would get is:

$N_e = \frac{N}{N'}=\frac{4.5\cdot 10^{23}}{8\cdot 10^9}=5.6\cdot 10^{13}$

What is the atomic number of an atom woth six valence electrons?<br>(A) 8<br>(B)10<br>(C) 12

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an atom refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Hence, an element with 6 valence electron mean that it has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.

The atomic Number of elements with 6 valence electrons cannot necessarily be the same, however, elements with 6 valence electrons belong to group six on the periodic table.

From the options given above, :

Atomic number of 8 :

Configuration : 2, 6

Atomic number of 10 :

Configuration : 2, 8

Atomic number of 12 :

Configuration : 2, 8, 2

Hence, only the element with atomic number of 8 has 6 valence electrons in its outer most shell, hence, the answer.
