Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

1.0555 * 10^24 molecules

Explanation:

Number of molecules = ?

Mass = 3.79  Kg = 3790 g

Molar mass of Cs7(Cr5O3)4 = 2162.25 g/mol

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

Number of moles = 3790 g / 2162.25 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.7528 mol

1 mol = 6.022 * 10^23 molecules

1.7528 mol = x

solving for x;

x = 6.022 * 10^23 *  1.7528

x = 1.0555 * 10^24 molecules

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

144cm²

Explanation:

Given dimensions:

     Length x breadth x thickness

        18cm  x   8cm    x    5cm

The widest part of this figure will be the face containing the length and the breadth.

The breadth is the width of the figure;

Area of the widest part  = length x breadth = 18cm x 8cm  = 144cm

The area of the widest part of the figure is 144cm²
