<h3>Answer:</h3>

              6.21 × 10²² Carbon Atoms

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Data Given:

                 Mass of Butane (C₄H₁₀)  =  1.50 g

                 M.Mass of Butane  =  58.1 g.mol⁻¹

Step 1: Calculate Moles of Butane as,

                 Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                 Moles  =  1.50 g ÷ 58.1 g.mol⁻¹

                 Moles  =  0.0258 mol

Step 2: Calculate number of Butane Molecules;

As 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro's Number) then the relation for Moles and Number of Butane Molecules can be written as,

            Moles  =  Number of C₄H₁₀ Molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

Solving for Number of Butane molecules,

             Number of C₄H₁₀ Molecules  =  Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

Putting value of moles,

     Number of C₄H₁₀ Molecules  =  0.0258 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

                 Number of C₄H₁₀ Molecules  =  1.55 × 10²² C₄H₁₀ Molecules

Step 3: Calculate Number of Carbon Atoms:

As,

                            1 Molecule of C₄H₁₀ contains  =  4 Atoms of Carbon

So,

          1.55 × 10²² C₄H₁₀ Molecules will contain  =  X Atoms of Carbon

Solving for X,

 X =  (1.55 × 10²² C₄H₁₀ Molecules × 4 Atoms of Carbon) ÷ 1 Molecule of C₄H₁₀

X  =  6.21 × 10²² Atoms of Carbon

\boxed{6.216 \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{{\text{22}}}}{\text{ atoms}}} of carbon is present in 1.50 g of butane.

Further Explanation:

Avogadro’s number indicates how many atoms or molecules a mole can have in it. In other words, it provides information about the number of units that are present in one mole of the substance. It is numerically equal to {\text{6}}{\text{.022}} \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{{\text{23}}}}\;{\text{units}}. These units can be atoms or molecules.

The formula to calculate the moles of {{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}} is as follows:

{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}} = \dfrac{{{\text{Given mass of }}{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}}}}{{{\text{Molar mass of }}{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}}}}                                                       …… (1)

Substitute 1.50 g for the given mass and 58.1 g/mol for the molar mass of  {{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}} in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}} &= \left( {{\text{1}}{\text{.50 g}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1 mol}}}}{{{\text{58}}{\text{.1 g}}}}} \right)\\&= {\text{0}}{\text{.0258 mol}}\\\end{aligned}

Since one mole of {{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}} has {\text{6}}{\text{.022}} \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{{\text{23}}}}\;{\text{molecules}} of {{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}}. Therefore the formula to calculate the molecules of butane is as follows:

{\text{Molecules of }}{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}} = \left( {{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}}} \right)\left( {{\text{Avogadro's Number}}} \right)                        …… (2)

Substitute 0.0258 mol for the moles of {{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}} and {\text{6}}{\text{.022}} \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{{\text{23}}}}\;{\text{molecules}} for Avogadro’s number in equation (2).

 \begin{aligned}{\text{Molecules of }}{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}}{\mathbf{}}&=\left( {0.0258{\text{ mol}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{6}}{\text{.022}} \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{{\text{23}}}}{\text{ molecules}}}}{{{\text{1 mol}}}}} \right)\\&= 1.554 \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{{\text{22}}}}{\text{ molecules}} \\\end{aligned}

The chemical formula of butane is {{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}}. This indicates one molecule of butane has four atoms of carbon. Therefore the number of carbon atoms can be calculated as follows:

 \begin{aligned}{\text{Atoms of carbon}} &= \left( {1.554 \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{{\text{22}}}}{\text{ molecules}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{4 C atoms}}}}{{{\text{1 molecule of }}{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}}}}} \right)\\&= 6.216 \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{{\text{22}}}}{\text{ C atoms}} \\\end{aligned}

timurjin [86]
In a closed system, heat should be conserved which means that the heat produced in the calorimeter is equal to the heat released by the combustion reaction. We calculate as follows:

Heat of the combustion reaction = mC(T2-T1)
                                                          = 1 (1.50) (41-21)

Calculate the molar solubility of CaF2 in a 0.25 m solution of NaF(aq).
Kipish [7]

Answer:

6.4 × 10^-10 M

Explanation:

The molar solubility of the ions in a compound can be calculated from the Ksp (solubility constant).

CaF2 will dissociate as follows:

CaF2 ⇌Ca2+ + 2F-

1 mole of Calcium ion (x)

2 moles of fluorine ion (2x)

NaF will also dissociate as follows:

NaF ⇌ Na+ + F-

Where Na+ = 0.25M

F- = 0.25M

The total concentration of fluoride ion in the solution is (2x + 0.25M), however, due to common ion effect i.e. 2x<0.25, 2x can be neglected. This means that concentration of fluoride ion will be 0.25M

Ksp = {Ca2+}{F-}^2

Ksp = {x}{0.25}^2

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.25^2 × x

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.0625x

x = 4.0 × 10^-11 ÷ 6.25 × 10^-2

x = 4/6.25 × 10^ (-11+2)

x = 0.64 × 10^-9

x = 6.4 × 10^-10

Therefore, the molar solubility of CaF2 in NaF solution is 6.4 × 10^-10M

How many valence electrons do the halogens possess? group of answer choices
jok3333 [9.3K]

The valence electron does the halogens possess are 7

  • Valence electrons are found in the outermost energy level of an atom
  • They are involved in the formation of chemical bonding with other atoms.
  • The halogens elements are found in group 17 on the periodic table
  • The halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.
  • They have seven valence electrons, so they are extremely reactive as they only need one more to fill their outer shell.
  • By octet rule we can say that the electron with 8 outer most shell is full and stable.

Hence the halogens posses 7 valence electron
