Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms attached through single bonds is known as an alkane.

General formula for alkanes is $C_{n}H_{2n+2}$ where n is any integer.

For example, a hydrocarbon with 30 hydrogen atoms will have the value of "n" as follows.

Total hydrogen atoms = 2n + 2

30 = 2n + 2

30 - 2 = 2n

n = 14

Therefore, number of carbon atoms in this hydrocarbon will be 14.

Hence, we can conclude that formula for an alkane which contains 30 hydrogen atoms is $C_{14}H_{30}$ .

A sample of sodium sulfite has a mass of 2.80 g.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

For a: The number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b: The number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c: The mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

Explanation:

The chemical formula of sodium sulfite is $Na_2SO_3$ . It is formed by the combination of 2 sodium $(Na^+)$ ions and 1 sulfite $(SO_3^{2-})$ ions

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of sodium sulfite = 2.80 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfite}=\frac{2.80g}{126g/mol}=0.022mol$

For a:

Moles of sodium ions in sodium sulfite = (2 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(2\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.65\times 10^{22}$ number of sodium ions

Hence, the number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b:

Moles of sulfite ions in sodium sulfite = (1 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(1\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.325\times 10^{22}$ number of sulfite ions

Hence, the number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c:

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

According to mole concept:

$6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units are present in 1 mole of a compound

Or, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units of sodium sulfite have a mass of 126 grams

So, 1 formula unit of sodium sulfite will have a mass of = $\frac{126}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 1=2.09\times 10^{-22}g$

Hence, the mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams
