Answer: The mass is 980.6g of Gold.

Explanation:

We begin by looking for the number of moles equivalent to 3.0 x 10^24 gold atoms.

Using the Avogadro's number,

6.02 x 10^23 atoms of gold make up 1 mole of gold.

3.0 x 10^24 atoms would make up: 1 / 6.02 x 10^23 x 3.0 x 10^24 = 4.98moles.

Now that we know the number of moles, we can then look for the mass using the formular:

Moles = mass/ molar mass

4.98 = mass / 196.9 (atomic mass of gold)

Making "mass" the subject of formula : mass = 4.98 x 196.9= 980.6g

Which element will only gain one electron during a chemical reaction?

Gelneren [198K]

Halogens

Explanation:

Halogens are a group of non-metals located in the seventh group on the periodic table. The will only gain one electron during a chemical reaction.

Halogens have a seven electrons in their outermost shell.
To complete the number of electrons in this shell, they need to gain an additional electron.
One more electron makes the halogen similar to the corresponding noble gas which is very stable.
Halogens are very reactive groups of elements and are highly electronegative.
They have a high affinity for electrons.
These elements are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and Astatine.

A piece of high-density Styrofoam measuring 24.0 cm by 36.0 cm by 5.0 cm floats when placed in a tub of water. When a 1.5 kg boo

zheka24 [161]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Width of Styrofoam = 24.0 cm

Length of Styrofoam = 36.0 cm

Height of Styrofoam = 5.0 cm

Therefore, volume of the Styrofoam will be calculated as follows.

Volume = length × width × height

= (36.0 × 24.0 × 5.0) $cm^{3}$

= 4320 $cm^{3}$

or, = $4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}$

As Styrofoam partially sinks at 3.0 cm and total height of Styrofoam is 5.0 cm. Hence, height of Styrofoam above the water is (5.0 - 3 cm) = 2 cm.

So, volume of water displaced is as follows.

24.0 cm × 36.0 cm × 2.0 cm

= $1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}$

Hence, mass of displaced water is as follows.

mass = density × volume

= $1.00 g/cm^{3} \times 1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}$

= $1.73 \times 10^{3} g$

Since, book is placed on the Styrofoam. Therefore, mass of water displaced is also equal to the following.

Mass of water displaced = mass of book + mass of Styrofoam

$1.73 \times 10^{3} g$ = 1500 g + mass of Styrofoam

(1730 - 1500) g = mass of Styrofoam

mass of Styrofoam = 230 g

Therefore, calculate the density of Styrofoam as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

= $\frac{230}{4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}}$

= $53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}$

Thus, we can conclude that the density of Styrofoam is $53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}$ .

What net ionic equation describes the reaction when these solutions are mixed?

almond37 [142]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The net ionic equation that will describe the reaction of the reactants when mixed is expressed as:

<span>2PO43–(aq) + 3Ca2+(aq) → Ca3(PO4)2(s)
</span>
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Explain how its electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom.

Llana [10]

More unstable an electron configuration , the more reactive an atom will become.

How electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom?

This is happen generally, If we look at the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, they are all highly reactive as they have 1 electron in their outermost shells - an unstable configuration in terms of energy.

Also, the noble gases in Group 8 in the periodic table are 'inert' that means they don't react (or more correctly, have an incredibly low reactivity). This is because they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell and thus have no need to acquire or lose electrons to possess a stable electron configuration.

Hence, electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom.
