How many moles are in a 12.0 g sample of NiC12

Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. <u>Ex:</u> Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.

In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:

Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol

Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol

Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.

58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12

There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:

12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.

<em>P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.</em>

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of a) 5.5 wt% Pb and b) 94.5 wt% of Sn? Assume that the atom

Anastaziya [24]

Answer : The percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of atoms in 5.5 wt% Pb and 94.5 wt% of Sn.

As, 207.2 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 5.5 g of lead contains $\frac{5.5}{207.2}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.59\times 10^{22}$ atoms

and,

As, 118.71 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 94.5 g of lead contains $\frac{94.5}{118.71}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.79\times 10^{23}$ atoms

Now we have to calculate the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom.

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Pb}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{1.59\times 10^{22}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=3.21\%$

and,

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Sn}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{4.79\times 10^{23}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=96.8\%$

Thus, the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

How does the neutron number in each compare

tester [92]

Answer:

Neutrons are all identical to each other, just as protons are. Atoms of a particular element must have the same number of protons but can have different numbers of neutrons.

Explanation:

Since the vast majority of an atom's mass is found its protons and neutrons, subtracting the number of protons (i.e. the atomic number) from the atomic mass will give you the calculated number of neutrons in the atom. In our example, this is: 14 (atomic mass) – 6 (number of protons) = 8 (number of neutrons).

A weighed piece of magnesium ribbon is added to a dried crucible, which is reweighed and heated in air to form the compound MgO.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

One of the errors for low percentage of magnesium could be because not all the magnesium may have reacted.

Explanation:

During the heating process, if the magnesium have not reacted completely, it can lead to low percentage of magnesium in the oxide formed. The product may still look a bit greyish rather than whitish after the heating process.

Describe briefly how to obtain the radial probability of an electron

Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

The radial distribution function gives the probability density for an electron to be found anywhere on the surface of a sphere located a distance r from the proton. Since the area of a spherical surface is 4πr2, the radial distribution function is given by 4πr2R(r)∗R(r).
