Answer:

C atoms = 9.6 *10^23 atoms

H atoms = 2.9*10^24 atoms

O atoms = 4.8 *10^23 atoms

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethanol = 36.7 grams

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of ethanol

Moles ethanol = mass / molar mass

Moles ethanol = 36.7 grams / 46.07 g/mol

Moles ethanol = 0.797 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles

For 1 mol C2H5OH we have 2 moles C, 6 moles H and 1 mol O

For 0.797 moles C2H5OH we have:

2*0.797 = 1.594 moles C

6*0.797 = 4.782 moles H

1*0.797 = 0.797 moles O

Step 4: Calculate carbon atoms

C atoms = moles C * number of Avogadro

C atoms = 1.594 moles * 6.02 *10^23

C atoms = 9.6 *10^23 atoms

Step 5: Calculate H atoms

H atoms = 4.782 moles * 6.02 * 10^23

H atoms = 2.9*10^24 atoms

Step 6: Calculate O atoms

O atoms = 0.797 moles * 6.02 *10^23

O atoms = 4.8 *10^23 atoms

Answer:

Below in bold.

Explanation:

1 mole of an element contains 6.022* 10^23 atoms.

Ethanol has the molecular formula C2H5OH.

So we have 2 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms ans 1 oxygen atom in the molecule.

Using molar masses the mass of carbon in 36.7 g of C2H5OH

= [(2 * 12.011) / (2*12.011 + 6*1.008 + 15.999)] * 36.7

=  [(2 * 12.011) /46.069] * 36.7

= 19.14 g

So the number of carbon atoms =  (19.14 / 12.011) *  6.022* 10^23

= 9.596 * 10^23. (Answer).

Using molar masses the mass of hydrogen in 36.7 g of C2H5OH

= [(6 * 1.008) / (46.069)] * 36.7

= 4.818 g

So the number of hydrogen atoms =  (4.818 / 1.008) *  6.022* 10^23

= 2.878 * 10^24 (Answer).

Using molar masses the mass of oxygen in 36.7 g of C2H5OH

= [(15.999) / (46.069)] * 36.7

= 12.745 g

So the number of hydrogen atoms =  (12.745 / 15.999) *  6.022* 10^23

= 2.924 * 10^24 (Answer).

Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.

Answer:

Weak bonds require less energy to form than strong bonds

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the force between two species is inversely proportional to the distance between them. That said, the bigger the atoms are, the greater the bond length should be to form a molecule.

As a result, for a greater bond length, the attraction force is lower than for a shorter bond length. This implies that large atoms would form weak bonds and small atoms would form strong bonds.

Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break the bond. If a bond is weak, it would require a low amount of energy to break it. This is also true for energy of formation, as it's the same process taking place in the opposite direction.

At what height above the earth surface will the gravitational acceleration be 5m
slamgirl [31]

Answer: -

The acceleration due to gravity at height r = a = GM/r²

Rearranging

r² = GM /a

= (6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.972 x 10²⁴ ) / 5

r = 8.917 x 10⁶ m

r = 8917 Km

Now Radius of earth = 6371 Km

So height = 8917 - 6371 = 2546 Km
