Answer:
Explanation:
1) Chemical formula of sodium carbonate: <em>Na₂CO₃</em>
2) Ratio of carbon atoms:
- The number of atoms of C in the unit formula Na₂CO₃ is the subscript for the atom, which is 1 (since it is not written).
Hence, the ratio is 1 C atom / 1 Na₂CO₃ unit formula.
This is, there is 1 atom of carbon per each unit formula of sodium carbonate.
3) Calculate the number of moles in 1.773 × 10⁷ carbon atoms
- Divide by Avogadro's number: 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / mol
- number C moles = 1.773 × 10⁷ atoms / (6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol)
- number C moles = 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol
Since, the ratio is 1: 1, the number of moles of sodium carbonate is the same number of moles of carbon atoms.
Answer:
long range order
Explanation:
A crystal consists of atoms, ions or molecules having both short range and long range order. The atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in a regular pattern throughout the lattice both at immediate vicinities and across the entire crystal structure.
This order accounts for the definite shape and unique properties of crystals which include their sharp melting and boiling points which distinguishes them from amorphous substances.
