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

What is the temperature difference if 300 cal are used to warm water

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The temperature difference is $\frac{300}{m} Kkg^{-1}$

Explanation:

The formula that is to used is :

Δ $Q=ms$ Δ $T$

where ,

Δ $Q$ is the heat supplied in calories = 300cal
$m$ is the mass of water taken = m (assumed)
Δ $T$ is the change in temperature
$s$ is the specific heat of water = $1calK^{-1}Kg^{-1}$

ΔT :

$\frac{300}{m*1} \\=\frac{300}{m} Kkg^{-1}$

Describe and name the parts of the atom.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The parts of an atom are protons, electrons, and neutrons.

A proton is positively charged and is located in the center or nucleus of the atom.

Electrons are negatively charged and are located in rings or orbits spinning around the nucleus.

The number of protons and electrons is always equal.

Elaborate the reason that the heat of vaporization of water is so much greater than its heat of fusion. A) The potential energy

Olenka [21]

I believe the answer is B. Liquid water is stabilized by strong inter-molecular forces between the molecules. This is why the energy needed to completely separate the molecules converting to gas is much greater than that of converting a solid into liquid. The latent heat of vaporization will have to be higher for the liquid to become a gas.

Why is the chemical formula Li2H incorrect? Select the correct answer below: A. There should be one lithium, not two. B. There s

gogolik [260]

Answer:

There should be one lithium, not two.

Explanation:

Lithium reacts with hydrogen at about 750°C to yield lithium hydride (LiH). LiH is white and powdery in appearance. It releases hydrogen gas when it reacts with water.

The correct formula for Lithium hydride is LiH and not Li2H because both lithium and hydrogen are univalent. Lithium has a valency of +1 while hydrogen has a valency of -1 in lithium hydride. Hydrides are formed between hydrogen and highly electro positive metals. In hydrides, hydrogen is forced to accept an electron from the highly electro positive metal.
