How many moles of sodium carbonate contain 1.773 × 1017 carbon atoms?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

  • 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol

Explanation:

1) Chemical formula of sodium carbonate: <em>Na₂CO₃</em>

2) Ratio of carbon atoms:

  • The number of atoms of C in the unit formula Na₂CO₃ is the subscript for the atom, which is 1 (since it is not written).

Hence, the ratio is 1 C atom / 1 Na₂CO₃ unit formula.

This is, there is 1 atom of carbon per each unit formula of sodium carbonate.

3) Calculate the number of moles in 1.773 × 10⁷ carbon atoms

  • Divide by Avogadro's number: 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / mol

  • number C moles  = 1.773 × 10⁷ atoms / (6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol)

  • number C moles = 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol

Since, the ratio is 1: 1, the number of moles of sodium carbonate is the same number of moles of carbon atoms.

The specific heat capacity of titanium is 0.523j/g c what is the heat capacity of 2.3g of titanium
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

1.2029 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat capacity of titanium = 0.523 J/g.°C

Specific heat capacity of 2.3 gram of titanium = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

1 g of titanium have 0.523 J/g.°C specific heat capacity

2.3  × 0.523 J/g.°C

1.2029 J/g.°C

How it looks. basically the thing that tells you how it change. for example if an ice cube was melted (heat), it only changed physically not chemically as the h20 molecules are still there. however lets say you burn woos— you cant get that would back. its ash now and it has changed chemically.
