Answer: True

Explanation:

Mass is defined as the amount of matter contained in the body.

Its units are kg, gram, milligram which are inter convertible.

S.I or M.K.S system has seven fundamental units which are used to find derived units

1) Mass - Kilogram

2) Length - meter

3) Time - Seconds

4) Electric Current - Ampere

5) Amount of substance - Moles

6) Intensity of light - Candela

7) Temperature - Kelvin

Thus the kilogram is the SI unit for mass.

Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?

Monica [59]

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

C : H : O

2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

C : H : O

2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

When iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192ir, 0.6 mm in diameter and 3.5 mm long, is surgica

Ivan

Iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192 Ir, 0.6 mm in diameter (0.3mm radius) and 3.5 mm long, is surgically inserted into the tumor. if the density of iridium is 22.42 g/cm3, how many iridium atoms are present in the sample?

Let us start by computing for the volume of the cylinder. V = π(r^2)*h where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder, respectively. Let's convert all given dimensions to cm first. Radius = 0.03 cm, height is 0.35cm long.

V = π * (0.03cm)^2 * 0.35 cm = 9.896*10^-4 cm^3

Now we have the volume of 192-Ir, let's use the density provided to get it's mass, and once we have the mass let's use the molar mass to get the amount of moles. After getting the amount of moles, we use Avogadro's number to convert moles into number of atoms. See the calculation below and see if all units "cancel":

9.896*10^-4 cm^3 * (22.42 g/cm3) * (1 mole / 191.963 g) * (6.022x10^23 atoms /mole)

= 6.96 x 10^19 atoms of Ir-122 are present.
