Why are fixed resistors’ values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?

Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.364 g of CaSO4 · 2H2O
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

<em>= 7.66 x 10²¹  oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of  CaSO₄·2H₂O</em>

Explanation:

For problems like this posting, one needs an understanding of the following topics:

The definition of the mole

<u>1 mole of substance</u> = mass in grams of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number ( = 6.023 x 10²³ ) of particles of the specified substance. This is generally one formula weight of the substance of interest. From this, the following equivalent relationships should be memorized:

<em>   1 mole = 1 formula weight = 1 mole weight (g)= 6.023 x 10²³ particles</em>

Converting grams to moles:

<em>Given grams => moles = grams/gram formula wt </em>

Converting moles to grams:

<em>Given moles => grams = moles x gram formula wt</em>

_________________________________________________________

<em>Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.364 g of CaSO₄ · 2H₂O.</em>

Given mass CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = 0.364 grams

Formula Wt CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = 172 g/mole

moles CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = mass <em>CaSO4 · 2H2O / formula Wt. CaSO₄ · 2H₂O</em>

<em>= 0.364 g CaSO₄·2H₂O </em><em>/ </em><em>172 g CaSO4·2H2O </em>

<em>= (0.364/172) mole CaSO₄·2H₂O </em>

<em>= 2.12 x 10⁻³ mole CaSO₄·2H₂O    </em>

<em>∴ number of Oxy (O) atoms in 0.364 grams CaSO₄·2H₂O </em>

<em>=  (2.12 x 10⁻³ mole CaSO₄ · 2H₂O)(6.023 x 10²³ molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O/ mole)</em>

<em>= 1.276876 x 10²¹molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O  CaSO₄2H₂O </em>

<em>= 1.276876 x 10²¹ molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O   x   6 oxygen atoms / molecule</em>

<em>= 7.661256 x 10²¹  oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of  CaSO₄·2H₂O</em>

<em>= 7.66 x 10²¹  oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of  CaSO₄·2H₂O</em>
