A. H2O is the substance reduced.

H2O + 2e^(-) →H_2 + 2OH^(-)

The substance that gains electrons is reduced.

Remember OIL RIG (Reduction Is Gain of electrons) and

LEO the lion says GER (Gain of Electrons is Reduction).

A balloon filled with helium gas contains 8.89 moles of helium. How many atoms are present in the balloon? Show all of your work

NNADVOKAT [17]

There are 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms in 8.89 moles of Helium.

Explanation:

Given that number of moles of Helium = 8.89 moles

Moles and Avogadro's number are related to each other by multiplying those two we can convert moles into atoms, molecules and Particles .

We have to convert the moles into atoms by multiplying the molar amount by Avogadro's number as,

Number of atoms = 8.89 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

= 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms

So there are 5.35 × 10²⁴ atoms in 8.89 moles of Helium.
