Answer:
14.77 mol.
Explanation:
- It is known that every 1.0 mole of compound or element contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules or atoms.
<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>
1.0 mole of He contains → 6.022 x 10²³ atoms.
??? mole of He contains → 8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms.
<em>∴ The no. of moles of He contains (8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms) </em>= (1.0 mol)(8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms)/(6.022 x 10²³ atoms) =<em> 14.77 mol.</em>
Answer:
3. The temperatures of the two substances equalize.
Explanation:
- As two objects at different temperatures are placed in contact, heat is transferred from the warmer to the cooler object until the temperature of the two objects be the same.
- The amount of heat that is transferred from the warmer object is equal to the amount of heat that is transferred into the cooler object.
- This is in agreement with the law of conservation of energy.
- <em>So, the right choice is: 3. The temperatures of the two substances equalize. </em>

Answer is 14.5 g L⁻¹.
<em>Explanation;</em>
Here, the question says reduce the units as one.
The presented units are g/L. To reduce the units to one, what we can do is take L to the upper side.
This can be done according to the rules of indices;
1 / aˣ = a⁻ˣ
Like that, we can write 1 / L as L⁻¹.
Hence, the reduced unit is g L⁻¹.
But remember to keep a space between when writing two different units.
Actually, this is an unit for density.
Answer:
There are 2 hydrogen atoms, one magnesium atom, and 5 atoms in total.
Explanation:
We are given a compound in formula form. To make things easier to understand, we can first convert this to the name of the compound.
- When a compound contains one or more elements in parentheses, these are usually a <u>polyatomic ion</u>.
- Polyatomic ions are ions made up of two or more elements with a positive or negative charge over the entire ion. Commons examples of these NH₄⁺ (ammonia) and HCO₃⁻ (bicarbonate).
- You can combine metals with polyatomic ions to create commonly known compounds, such as baking soda. The chemical name for baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, so we can combine Na (sodium) with HCO₃⁻ (bicarbonate) and create sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO₃.
This compound is one magnesium atom bonded to two hydroxide ions.
- Hydroxide is the compound between one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The compound overall adopts a negative charge of 1.
- If we have one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom, the most electronegative atom is written first in chemical formulas. Therefore, the symbol for Oxygen (O) goes first.
- Then, write in the hydrogen atom directly after the O symbol: OH.
- Finally, since we have a negative charge on the ion, we need to play a negative sign as a superscript for the compound. Therefore, this becomes OH⁻.
Now, we need to determine the charge on the Magnesium atom which is determined from the amount of valence electrons the atom has.
- On a periodic table, the symbol for Magnesium is Mg and this element has 2 valence electrons.
- In order to fulfill the Octet Rule, the It is more likely to give up 2 electrons to a nonmetal than it is to gain 6, so we can safely assume that the charge is ²⁺.
- We need to use the criss-cross technique to transfer the charges between the element and the ion, so the negative 1 charge goes to the Mg, which does not appear (negative 1 or positive 1 are implied) and since the magnesium has a charge of positive 2, this is the subscript for the hydroxide ion.
- Therefore, our compound becomes Mg(OH)₂, and we have labeled this as magnesium hydroxide.
Now, to the number of atoms:
- The new charge on Mg is 1-, so there is only one atom of Mg.
- The charge is 2+ on the OH ion, so there are two atoms of H and two atoms of O.
- Two atoms of oxygen, two atoms of hydrogen, and one atom of magnesium add up to be five atoms in total.
