Answer:

The atomic number

Explanation:

Transmutation refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. A transmutation usually involves a change in the structure of atomic nuclei and this may be induced by a nuclear reaction.

Transmutation was first achieved in 1919 by Lord Rutherford when he successfully changed a nitrogen nucleus to an oxygen-18 isotope, producing a proton in the process.

Since transmutation often involves changing one atom into another, the atomic number or mass number of the original element always changes (to form a new element) in the process.

If I had 3.50 x 10 24molecules of Cl2 gas, how many grams is this?

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

412 g Cl₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Moles
Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Stoichiometry

Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 3.50 × 10²⁴ molecules Cl₂

[Solve] grams Cl₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cl₂ - 2(35.45) = 70.9 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 3.50 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ Cl_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ Cl_2}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ Cl_2})(\frac{70.9 \ g \ Cl_2}{1 \ mol \ Cl_2})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 412.072 \ g \ Cl_2$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

412.072 g Cl₂ ≈ 412 g Cl₂
