Answer:

First we know that the molar mass of CO2 is 44.01g/mol, and that the sample of CO2 contains 3.408 x 10^21 molecules, and we have to find the mass of that sample.

We know that moles = mass/molar mass, if we rearrange the equation for mass, we'll get:

mass = moles x molar mass

Also, note that the number of atoms/molecules in a sample is the moles of the sample x Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23)

If we rearrange the equation for moles, we would get:

moles = molecules of sample/6.02 x 10^23

Plug in the values for the equation above to get the moles:

moles = (3.408 x 10^21)/(6.02 x 10^23)

moles = 0.00566112956 (we're not done yet)

Now that we have the moles and we were already provided the molar mass, we can calculate the mass using the very first equation we rearranged.

mass = moles x molar mass

mass = 0.00566112956 x 44.01

mass = 0.2491g (answered 4 places past the decimal point<u>)</u>

<u></u>

<u>Therefore the sample of Carbon Dioxide has a mass of 0.2491g</u>

Oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 _____. have the same mass are isotopes of oxygen have different numbers of protons
NNADVOKAT [17]

 oxygen -17   and  oxygen-18 are  isotopes  of  oxygen


<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Isotope is two or more forms   of the same element  that  has  equal  amount of proton but different  number of neutrons  in the nuclei.

oxygen -17 and oxygen-18  are  isotope    of oxygen since they  have the equal amount   of  protons but different   number of  neutrons  in their  nuclei.

that  is oxygen  17  has   8  protons  and  9  neutrons  while  oxygen 18  has  8 protons and  10  neutrons.
