Answer: melting points are major means of identifying pure compounds.

Explanation:

A pure compound can be identified by its melting point because, a pure compound will have a sharp melting point while an impure compound will melt over a temperature range. If presented with a pure sample of an unknown solid, its melting point can tell us what the identity of the compound. Similarly, melting point analysis can show the purity of a known solid. If the known solid has a sharp melting point, then it is pure.

Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

0.55 mol Cu(NO₃)₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 0.55 \ mol \ Cu(NO_3)_2(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ Cu(NO_3)_2}{1 \ mol \ Cu(NO_3)_2})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 3.3121 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ Cu(NO_3)_2$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

3.3121 × 10²³ molecules Cu(NO₃)₂ ≈ 3.3 × 10²³ molecules Cu(NO₃)₂

Given 2.14g of B2H6

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

(A) is 0.0773 mol B2H6

Explanation:

Questions (A) and (B) are the same.

2.14 g B2H6 x (1 mol B2H6/27.668g B2H6) = 0.0773 mol B2H6 (A)

<u>27.668 is the molar mass of B2H6 calculated from the period table: </u>

(2 x 10.81) + (6 x 1.008) = 27.668

1.008 is the mass of H and 10.81 is the mass of B

(C)

0.0773 mol B2H6 x (6 mol H/ 1 mol B2H6) x (6.022 x 10^23 H atoms/1 mol H)

= 2.79 x 10^23 hydrogen atoms

Further Explanation:

For every 1 mol of B2H6, there are 6 moles of H (indicated by the subscript)

6.022 x 10^23 is Avogrado's number and it equals to 1 mol of anything

Avogrado's number can be in units of atoms, molecules, or particles
