How many molecules are in 3.6 grams of NaCl? Question options:

Levart [38]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3.7 * 10^{22} \ molecules \ NaCl}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many molecules are in 3.6 grams of sodium chloride.

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

First, we convert grams to moles using the molar mass. These values are equivalent to atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per moles instead of atomic mass units. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements: sodium and chlorine.

Na: 22.9897693 g/mol
Cl: 35.45 g/mol

There are no subscripts in the chemical formula (NaCl), so we simply add the 2 molar masses.

NaCl: 22.9897693 + 35.45 = 58.4397693 g/mol

Now we will convert using dimensional analysis. First, set up a ratio using the molar mass.

$\frac {58.4397693 \ g \ NaCl}{ 1 \ mol \ NaCl}$

We are converting 3.6 grams to moles, so we must multiply the ratio by this value.

$3.6 \ g \ NaCl *\frac {58.4397693 \ g \ NaCl}{ 1 \ mol \ NaCl}$

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of sodium chloride cancel.

$3.6 \ g \ NaCl *\frac { 1 \ mol \ NaCl}{58.4397693 \ g \ NaCl}$

$3.6 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ NaCl}{58.4397693}$

$\frac { 3.6}{58.4397693} \ mol \ NaCl$

$0.06160188589 \ mol \ NaCl$

<h3>2. Convert Moles to Molecules </h3>

Next, we convert moles to molecules using Avogadro's Number. This is 6.022 × 10²³ and it tells us the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc). In this case, the particles are molecules of sodium chloride. Let's set up another ratio.

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ molecules \ NaCl}{ 1 \ mol \ NaCl}$

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

$0.06160188589 \ mol \ NaCl * \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ molecules \ NaCl}{1 \ mol \ NaCl}$

The units of moles of sodium chloride cancel.

$0.06160188589 * \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ molecules \ NaCl}{1 }$

$3.70966557*10^{22} \ molecules \ NaCl$

<h3>3. Round </h3>

The original measurement of grams (3.6) has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the tenths place. The 0 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 7 in the tenth place.

$3.7 * 10^{22} \ molecules \ NaCl$

There are $3.7 * 10^{22} \ molecules \ NaCl$ in 3.6 grams and the correct answer is choice D.

stiks02 [169]

I believe an aqueous solution is made up of ions dissociated in solution. An aqueous solution is a solution in which water acts as a solvent. For example a solution sodium chloride in water is shown as Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq). Most acids and bases exists in aqueous solution form.

Any organism or particle that can cause an infectious disease is called a

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

PATHOGEN.

Explanation:

In biology, pathogen refers to any organism or particle that is capable of causing infectious diseases. Thus, all the microbes that cause diseases such as bacteria, virus, fungi, viroid, etc are collectively known as pathogen. The entrance of pathogen into the human body usually stimulate the immune system. The immune system functions by recognizing pathogens and by capturing and destroying them.
