Hello!

<span>a. gains a proton and loses a neutron. </span>This process gives more stability to the atom.

Hugs!

Explain how mass out 10 mL of milk

kirill [66]

Hi,

mL are smaller than liters. So milk should be liters, right? Yeah it should. If yiu put milk on a scale, it would go down bc it is so heavy. If it was not as heavy, it would be a different story here. Think of it that way.

Liters of a 2.40 M

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1.42 L

Explanation:

Step 1:

The following data were obtained from the question :

Molarity of KBr = 2.40 M

Mole of KBr = 3.40 moles

Volume of solution =?

Step 2:

Determination of the volume of the solution.

Molarity of solution is simply the mole of the solute per unit volume the of solution. It is given as :

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 3.4/2.4

Volume = 1.42 L

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 1.42 L

How many atoms are there in 8.88 g Si?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in 8.88 grams of silicon.

<h3>1. Grams to Moles </h3>

First, we convert grams to moles. We use the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. These values are found on the Periodic Table as they are equal to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up silicon's molar mass.

Si: 28.085 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a conversion factor with the molar mass.

$\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

We are converting 8.88 grams of silicon to moles, so we multiply by this value.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of silicon cancel.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 \ g \ Si}$

$8.88 *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 }$

$\frac {8.88} { 28.085 } \ mol \ Si$

$0.316183015845 \ mol \ Si$

<h3>2. Moles to Atoms </h3>

Next, we convert moles to atoms. We use Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of silicon.

Set up another conversion factor.

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

$0.316183015845\ mol \ Si *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

The units of moles of silicon cancel.

$0.316183015845 * \frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1}$

$0.316183015845 * {{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}$

$1.90405412 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si$

<h3>3. Significant Figures</h3>

The original measurement of 8.88 grams has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 0 in the hundredth place.

$1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si$

<u>8.88 grams of silicon contains 1.90 ×10²³ atoms of silicon.</u>
