Chemistry

3 0

Subduction occurs when two plates collide at a convergent boundary, and one plate is driven beneath the other, back into the Earth’s interior. Not all convergence leads to subduction. Continental rocks are too buoyant to be forced downward, so when continents collide, they crumple but stay at the surface. Only oceanic plates, which are topped with basalt, are dense enough to sink into the mantle. As a result, only oceanic plates are subducted.

How many mole have in 9.03×1000000000000000000000000 atoms Na​
kotegsom [21]

A mole present in 9.3  \times  10^{24}  atoms Na is 15.44 mol Na.

<u>Explanation</u>:

A mole of a substance or a mole of particles is defined as exactly 6.02214076×10²³ particles, which may be atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons.

One mole of any element contains  6.022  \times 10^{23}  atoms  of that element.

In order to determine how many moles are in a given number of atoms, divide the given number of atoms by  6.022  \times 10^{23} atoms /  1  mol .

                  = ( 9.3  \times  10^{24}  atoms Na  \times  1 mol Na) /  6.022  \times 10^{23} atoms Na

                  = 15.44 mol Na.
