<span>1. What is the molar mass of gold?
Molar mass is a unit that expresses the mass of a molecule per one mol. The molar mass can be obtained by adding the neutron with the proton of the atoms. Gold has atomic number 79 so the proton is 79. The number of the neutron is 118. Then the molar mass would be: 79 + 118 = </span>197 g/mol<span>

</span>In this question, you are given the mass of the gold and asked for how many moles the sample has. To find the number of moles you just need to divide the weight by the molar mass.
For 45.39 grams of gold, the number of moles would be:
45.39 / (197g/mol)= 0.23 moles
3. Calculate the number of atoms of gold (Au) in the sample. Show your work.Moles is unit of a number of molecules but 1 mol doesn't represent 1 molecule. The number of atoms can be obtained by multiplying the number of moles with Avogadro number. The calculation would be:
0.23 moles * (6.023 * 10^23 molecules/mol)= 1.387 * 10^23 molecules
Explanation:
A chemical property is defined as the property that brings changes in chemical composition of a substance.
For example, flammability, combustion, reactivity, electronegativity etc are allchemical properties.
On the other hand, a property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical property.
For example, shape, size, mass, density etc are all physical properties.
Thus, we can conclude that these may all be classified as chemical properties of a substance.
Answer:
The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%
Explanation:
When a solute dissolves in a solvent, the mass of the resulting solution is a sum of the mass of the solute and the solvent.
A percentage is a way of expressing a quantity as a fraction of 100. In this case, the percentage by mass of a solution is the number of grams of solute per 100 grams of solution and can be represented mathematically as:
In this way it allows to precisely establish the concentration of solutions and express them in terms of percentages.
In this case:
- mass of solute: 3.55 g
- mass of solution: 3.55 g + 88 g= 91.55 g
Replacing:
Percent by mass= 3.88%
<u><em>The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%</em></u>
