The chemical reaction known as fluorescence.
The number of moles left = 0.0067 moles
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
0.28 g CO
2 x 10²¹ molecules removed
Required
Number of moles left
Solution
Initial mol of CO(MW=28 g/mol) :
mol = 0.28 : 28
mol = 0.01
The number of molecules in 0.01 mol :
= 0.01 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 6.02 x 10²¹
2 x 10²¹ molecules removed, so molecules left :
= 6.02 x 10²¹ - 2 x 10²¹
= 4.02 x 10²¹
moles of 4.02 x 10²¹ :
= 4.02 x 10²¹ : 6.02 x 10²³
= 0.0067 moles
I reckon the answer is orbital electrons but we learn it as delocalised electrons in the UK (they are able to move between shells freely and can carry a charge)
