Molybdenum has a molar mass of 95.94g/mol. How many molecules of molybdenum are in 150.0 g of molybdenum

1 answer:

5 0

We are given the molar mass of Molybdenum as 95.94 g/mol. Also, the chemical symbol for Molybdenum is Mo. This question is asking for the amount of molecules of molybdenum in a 150.0 g sample. However, since molybdenum is a metal and it is in the form of solid molybdenum, Mo (s), it is not actual a molecule. A molecule has one or more atom bonded together. We will instead be finding the amount of atoms of Molybdenum present in the sample. To do this we use Avogadro's number, which is the amount of atoms/molecules of a substance in 1 mole of that substance.

150.0 g Mo/ 95.94 g/mol = 1.563 moles of Mo

1.563 moles Mo x 6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mole = 9.415 x 10²³ atoms Mo

Therefore, there are 9.415 x 10²³ atoms of Molybdenum in 150.0 g.

HELP!!!! The freezing of methane is an exothermic change. What best describes the temperature conditions that are likely to make

vazorg [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is low temperature only, because entropy decreases during freezing.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relationship between Gibb's free energy, enthalpy, entropy and temperature is given by the equation:

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

Where,

$\Delta G$ = change in Gibb's free energy

$\Delta H$ = change in enthalpy

T = temperature

$\Delta S$ = change in entropy

It is given that freezing of methane is taking place, which means that entropy is decreasing and $Delta S$ is becoming negative. It is also given that the reaction is an exothermic reaction, this means that the $\Delta H$ is also negative.
