Plastic wrap becomes electrically charged when pulled from its box. As a result, it is attracted to objects such as food contain

ers. Does the wrap stick better to plastic containers or to metal containers? Discuss.

Explanation:

It sticks better to the plastic containers. We know that plastic is one among the good insulator, Hence as soon as the charged plastic wrap makes contact with the box, the charges will remain relatively fixed in particular location. Which will subsequently maintain the electrical attraction. When charged plastic wrap comes in contact with the metal, on the other hand, the charged plastic wrap will discharge through the metal since metal is a good conductor, causing it to lose its electrical properties.

A sample that weighs 103.75 g is a mixture of 30% helium atoms and 70% krypton atoms. How many particles are present in the samp
aalyn [17]
1) we calculate the molar mass of He (helium) and Kr (Krypton).
atomic mass (He)=4 u
atomic mas (Kr)=83.8 u

Therefore the molar mass will be:
molar mass(He)=4 g/mol
molar mass(Kr)=83.8 g/mol.

1) We can find  the next equation:
mass=molar mass  x number of moles.

x=number of moles of helium
y=number of moles of helium. 

(4 g/mol) x  +(83.8 g/mol)y=103.75 g
Therefore, we have the next equation:

(1)

4x+83.8y=103.75


2) We can find other equation:

We have 30% helium atoms and 70% Kryptum atoms, therefore we have 30% Helium moles and 70% of Krypton moles.

1 mol  is always 6.022 * 10²³ atoms or molecules, (in this case atoms).

Then:
x=number of moles of helium
y=number of moles of helium.
(x+y)=number of moles of our sample.

x=30% of (x+y)

Therefore, we have this other equation:
(2)

x=0.3(x+y)


With the equations(1) and (2), we have the next system of equations:

4x+83.8y=103.75

x=0.3(x+y)  ⇒ x=0.3x+0.3y  ⇒    x-0.3x=0.3y  ⇒ 0.7 x=0.3y ⇒ x=0.3y/0.7
⇒x=3y/7

We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x=3y/7

4(3y/7)+83.8y=103.75
lower common multiple)7
12y+586.6y=726.25
598.6y=726.25
y=1.21

x=3y/7=3(1.21)/7=0.52

We have 0.52 moles of  helium and 1.21 moles of Krypton.

1 mol=6.022 * 10²³ atoms

Total number of particles=(6.022 *10²³ atoms /1 mol) (number of moles of He+ number of moles of Kr).

Total number of particles=6.022 * 10²³ (0.52+1.21)=6.022 * 10²³ (1.73)=
=1.044 * 10²⁴ atoms.

Answer: The sample have 1.044 * 10²⁴ atoms.
