A sample of carbon dioxide (CO2) has a mass of 52.0g. How many oxygen atoms are present?

Chemistry

Elza [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

7.11 x 10²³ atoms of oxygen

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Carbon dioxide  = 52g

Unknown:

Number of oxygen atoms present = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to first find the mass of oxygen in the compound.

 Molar mass of CO₂   = 12 + 2(16)  = 44g/mol

 Mass of oxygen  = \frac{32}{44} x 52  = 37.8g

  Number of moles of oxygen  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}    = \frac{37.8}{32}    = 1.18moles

So;

       1 mole of a substance contains  6.02 x 10²³ atoms

1.18 mole of oxygen will contain 1.18 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 7.11 x 10²³ atoms of oxygen

4. True or false: You should use Avogadro's number to convert from moles to molecules
Dmitriy789 [7]

True, to convert from moles to atoms, multiply the molar amount by Avogadro's number. To convert from atoms to moles, divide the atom amount by Avogadro's number (or multiply by its reciprocal).

Which three factors are most important in determining the composition of ocean water
AfilCa [17]
First factor: Density of water
This density of water is affected by the level of salt present in it. They are inversely proportional. This means that as the amount of salt in water increases (water becomes more salty), the density of water would decrease

Second factor: Temperature
Temperature affects the composition of water because as temperature increases, the ocean water evaporates and the salt precipitates. Therefore, this factor is essential in determining the rate by which the ocean water evaporates

Third factor: Salinity
This factor helps in determining the amount of salt present in the ocean, i.e, concentration of salt in the water.

Hope this helps :)

Why does the flame go out on the Bunsen burner when the gas is turned off? (use the collision theory in your answer)
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well the gas is the fuel for the flame of course. The collision theory comes into play when the gas turns on, chemicals collide with one another. Then  reactions occur causing the flame. Then when you take away the fuel, the flame stops because there is no atoms or molecules to come together/collide with one another.

Sorry if its wrong or doesn't make sense... Wish you the best of luck on whatever your doing!
