Purpose of boiling chip

Chemistry

Your attempted answer is correct.
Indeed, certain liquids, including water, could superheat when heated in a perfectly smooth container.  The superheating could be interrupted by the minutest speck of dust or impurities causing a mass conversion into steam, observed physically as a bumping, causing splashes and endangering operators.  Boiling chips introduce these interruptions constantly and ensure a smooth boiling of the liquid.

Calculate the mass (in g) of 2.1 x 1024 atoms of W.
vfiekz [6]
Set up your units to algebraically cancel out the original unit, and end up with the units of the answer in the final numerator. We'll first convert to moles by using Avogadro's number, then the atomic mass of tungsten (W) from the periodic table, since the mass, in grams, of one mole of any element is the atomic mass number:
2.1x10∧24 atoms W x (1 mole/6.022x10∧23 atoms) x (183.84g/1 mole) = 641.089 grams
Since your given number has only two significant figures (2.1), your answer should also only express in 2 sig figs: 6.4x10∧2 grams
