Answer:

Alchemy

Explanation:

Alchemy is the believe that base metals such as a copper, lead etc can be transmuted into gold.

The alchemists were in search of a magical piece that would enable them to make gold from base metals. They called this magical stuff 'the Philosopher's Stone'.

Modern science has discovered that lead can be turned into gold,without applying the methods of alchemy. Nuclear transmutation in particle accelerators can indeed change one element into another.

Calculate the number of moles in the following: 2.8 X 10^24 atoms of Cl2
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4.65 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

N = 2.8 × 10²⁴ atoms of Cl2

So we have

n =  \frac{2.8 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23}  }  \\  = 4.65116279069...

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.65 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you
