A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.
The name transition metal refers to the position in the periodic table of elements. The transition elements represent the successive addition of electrons to the d atomic orbitals of the atoms. In this way, the transition metals represent the transition between group 2 (2A) elements and group 13 (3A) elements.
We are given the molar mass of Molybdenum as 95.94 g/mol. Also, the chemical symbol for Molybdenum is Mo. This question is asking for the amount of molecules of molybdenum in a 150.0 g sample. However, since molybdenum is a metal and it is in the form of solid molybdenum, Mo (s), it is not actual a molecule. A molecule has one or more atom bonded together. We will instead be finding the amount of atoms of Molybdenum present in the sample. To do this we use Avogadro's number, which is the amount of atoms/molecules of a substance in 1 mole of that substance.
150.0 g Mo/ 95.94 g/mol = 1.563 moles of Mo
1.563 moles Mo x 6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mole = 9.415 x 10²³ atoms Mo
Therefore, there are 9.415 x 10²³ atoms of Molybdenum in 150.0 g.
The answer is 2
Hope this helped ??
C. If the mass or length of substance changes it's extensive
