Determine the number of atoms in 41.0 grams of calcium, Ca. (The mass of one mole of calcium is 40.08 g.)

Dovator [93]

Hi there!

Let me know if you have questions about my answer:

6.15 × 10²⁴

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms, divide the mass of calcium (m) by its molar mass (MM). This will give you the number of moles of calcium (n).

$n = m/MM$ Start with a formula

$=\frac{41.0g}{40.08g/mol}$ Substitute values from the question

$= \frac{41.0g*1mol}{40.08g}$ Simplify

$= \frac{41.0mol}{40.08}$ Cancel out the units "g"

$= 1.022...mol$ Number of moles of calcium, with 4 significant figures

Then, multiply the number of moles of calcium (n) by Avogadro's number ( $N_{A}$ ) to find the number of calcium atoms.

$Number.of.Ca=n*N_{A}$ Start with a formula

$= 1.022mol*\frac{6.022*10^{23}Ca}{1mol}$ Substitute values from the question

$= \frac{1.022mol*6.022*10^{23}Ca}{1mol}$ Simplify

$= 1.022*(6.022*10^{23}Ca)$ Cancel out the units "mol"

$= 6.154*10^{24} Ca$ Multiply, leave one extra digit to help round. "4" tells you to round down.

$= 6.15*10^{24} Ca$ Final answer to 3 significant figures*

*When multiplying and dividing numbers, your final answer will have the same number of significant figures as the number with the least number of significant figures in the question.

40.08 has 4 significant figures. 41.0 has 3 significant figures. So, you want 3 significant figures in your final answer.

I hope this helps!

Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s

Molodets [167]

Answer:

HOFO = (0, 0, +1, -1)

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) can be calculated using the following equation:

$FC = V - N - \frac{1}{2}B$

<u>Where:</u>

V: are the valence electrons

N: are the nonbonding electrons

B: are the bonding electrons

The arrange of the atoms in the oxyacid is:

H - O₁ - F - O₂

Hence, the formal charge (FC) on each of the atoms is:

H: FC = 1 - 0 - 1/2*(2) = 0

O₁: FC = 6 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = 0

F: FC = 7 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = +1

O₂: FC = 6 - 6 - 1/2*(2) = -1

We can see that the negative charge is in the oxygen instead of the most electronegative element, which is the F. This oxyacid is atypical.

I hope it helps you!

Classify which compounds will dissolve in water and which ones will not dissolve in water.

vredina [299]

Answer:

Dissolves in water: Acetone, 1-propanol, Methanol

Do not dissolve in water: Hexane, Decane

Explanation:

From the principle that like dissolves like,polar substances will dissolve in polar solutions, while non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar substances.

Water is a polar solution, therefore, polar substances will dissolve in it.From the given options:

Acetone is a polar molecule, therefore, it will dissolve in water.

1-propanol is a polar molecule, therefore, it will dissolve in water.

Hexane is a non-polar molecule, therefore, it will not dissolve in water.

Methanol is a polar molecule, therefore, it will dissolve in water.

Decane is a non-polar molecule, therefore, it will not dissolve in water
