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).

Which phrase describes a risk associated with producing energy in a nuclear power plant?
vodomira [7]
Correct Answer is Option C i.e. <span>production of wastes needing long-term storage.

Reason: 
Most of the nuclear power plant uses nuclear fission reaction for generation of electricity. In a nuclear fission reaction, a radio-active nuclei (high atomic mass) is bombarded with fast moving projectile. This results in nuclear disintegration. The mass defect between product and reactant results in generation of energy. The daughter element generated during this event, may also be radio-active in nature. These materials have extremely high half-life. Hence, this waste product needs to be stored safely for long-time so as to minimize the risk of nuclear contamination. </span>

How does a sample of helium at 15 °C compare to a sample of helium at 215 K?
Goshia [24]

The answer is: The helium at 15 °C has a higher average kinetic energy than the sample at 215 K.

215 K is equivalent to -58.15 °C. Temperature is directly proportional to average kinetic enegry, so 15 °C has a higher average kinetic energy than the sample at -58.15 °C or 215K.
