Answer:

  • <u>You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.</u>

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

<u />

<u>1. Number of moles, n</u>

      n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol

<u />

<u>2. Mass</u>

  • mass = number of moles × atomic mass
  • mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.

Fofino [41]

Option A is correct. When a person says "<em>I think</em><em> that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at the same time."</em> the person is stating his Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an explanation proposed or given based on a piece of evidence that is limited.

It is useful at the beginning of an investigation because it serves as the building block for an impending fact or law.

From the statement, we can see that the person is not too sure of the information provided since he "thinks". <em>He said, </em><em>"I think</em><em> that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at the same time." </em>

<em />

Hence we can conclude that the person is stating a hypothesis.

Law and theory are incorrect because they are already proven facts.

According to the big bang theory, which statement is accurate about how the universe came to be?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The term Big Bang defines that the Universe has expanded from the ancient hot and thick primary situation at some fixed time in the past.

Big Bang theory refers to the origin of the Universe. In the beginning, universe is very heavy and small hot ball of matter. It was a point no bigger than the head of a pin when all the things squished with each other and universe is expanded with huge explosion of energy. Due to expansion, it is cooled and results in the formation of Stars and galaxies. After sometime, atoms formed like helium and hydrogen.

Thus, statement (1), (3) and (4) is correct whereas statement (2) and (5) is incorrect. the right answer is - (It expanded slowly), (Stars and galaxies formed,) (Atoms such as hydrogen and helium formed.)

Saline solutions (nacl in water) used to deliver intravenous drugs are 0.89%(w/v). what mass of nacl is found in 200 ml of such
Gnom [1K]

A ratio of 0.89% w / v or 0.0089 in fraction means that there is 0.89 weight of NaCl pero volume of solution. Therefore the mass of NaCl is:

mass NaCl = 0.0089 * 200

<span>mass NaCl = 1.78 grams</span>
