Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 2.48 \ mol \ Na_2O}}

Explanation:

We are asked to convert an amount in grams to moles. To do this, we use the molar mass. This is the number of grams in one mole of a substance. It is the same value numerically as the atomic mass on the Periodic Table, however the units are grams per mole, not atomic mass units.

Look up the molar masses for the individual elements.

  • Sodium (Na): 22.9897693 g/mol
  • Oxygen (O): 15.999 g/mol

Look back at the formula: Na₂O. Notice there is a subscript of 2 after sodium. This means there are 2 atoms of sodium in every molecule, so we have to multiply sodium's molar mass by 2 before adding oxygen's.

  • Na₂O: 2(22.9897693 g/mol)+ 15.999 g/mol = 61.9785386 g/mol

Set up a ratio using the molar mass.

\frac {61.9785386 \ g \ Na_2O}{1 \ mol \ Na_2O}

Multiply by the given number of grams.

154 \ g \ Na_2O*\frac {61.9785386 \ g \ Na_2O}{1 \ mol \ Na_2O}

Flip the ratio so the grams of sodium oxide can cancel each other out.

154 \ g \ Na_2O*\frac {1  \ mol \ Na_2O}{61.9785386 \ g \ Na_2O}

154 *\frac {1  \ mol \ Na_2O}{61.9785386 }

\frac {154}{61.9785386 }  \ mol \ Na_2O

2.48473106141 \ mol \ Na_2O

The original measurement of grams given has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place.

  • 2.48<u>4</u>73106141

The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 8.

2.48 \ mol \ Na_2O

There are <u>2.48 moles of sodium oxide</u> in 154 grams, so choice A is correct.

How are tectonic plates related to earthquakes and volcanoes?
patriot [66]

Answer

Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.

What types of emergency situations could rescue workers be in that would make it difficult for them to get energy to their elect
artcher [175]

Answer:

Large-scale natural disasters

Explanation:

The emergency situation that rescue workers could be in that would make it difficult for them to get energy to their electrical devices is "Large-scale natural disasters"

Large-scale natural disasters are very destructive and devastating. Their impact and effect can range from destruction of infrastructures, properties, social amenities and even ecosystems. When such disasters break out, they destroy things and which leads to difficulty in accessing certain amenities. Rescue workers even find it difficult to access energy for their electrical devices - because there is power outage.

Some of these large-scale natural disasters are earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, etc.
