We add up all the various atoms:
C: 55
H: 72
Mg: 1
N: 4
O: 5

55 + 72 + 1 + 4 + 5
= 137

The answer is B.

molecular formula is the acutal composition of the components making up the compound

chlorophyll a molecular formula is - C₅₅H₇₂MgN₄O₅

so we have to find how many atoms are in 1 molecule

for this we have to add all the atoms of each element making up this 1 molecule

number of atoms of each element

C - 55

H - 72

Mg - 1

N - 4

O - 5

the sum of all the atoms - 55 + 72 + 1 + 4 + 6 = 138

answer is C ) 138

How many potassium atoms are in 250.0 grams of potassium?
loris [4]

Hi!


The correct option would be 3.85x10^(24)


To find the number of atoms in 250g of potassium, we need to first calculate the number of atoms in


1 mole of Potassium = 39g which contains 6.022x10^(23) atoms of K

<em>(Avogadro's constant value for the amount of molecules/atoms in one mole of any substance)</em>

<em>Solution</em>

So as 39g of Potassium contains 6.022x10^(23) K atoms

1g of Potassium would contain 6.022x10^(23) / 39 = 1.544 x10^(22) atoms

So 250g of Potassium would contain 1.544x10^(22) x 250 = 3.86x10^(24) atoms

What must happen to uranium before it can be used as a fuel source?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Uranium must be purified before it is used as a fuel source

Explanation:

The purer the uranium sample, the more the concentration of uranium in the fuel is.

Whenever uranium is extracted from nature, it contains a lot of impurities. Only a few special nuclear reactors can utilize uranium in this raw state. most of the others have to get uranium to become about 3% pure before they begin using it.

To do this, uranium has to be passed through a series of chemical reactions all with the aim of extracting the other compounds that may be present in the fuel.
