Answer:
<em>3.27·10²³ atoms of O</em>
Explanation:
To figure out the amount of oxygen atoms in this sample, we must first evaluate the sample.
The chemical formula for sodium sulfate is <em>Na₂SO₄, </em>and its molar mass is approximately 142.05
.
We will use stoichiometry to convert from our mass of <em>Na₂SO₄ </em>to moles of <em>Na₂SO₄</em>, and then from moles of <em>Na₂SO₄ </em>to moles of <em>O </em>using the mole ratio; then finally, we will convert from moles of <em>O </em>to atoms of <em>O </em>using Avogadro's constant.
19.3g <em>Na₂SO₄</em> ·

·
After doing the math for this dimensional analysis, you should get a quantity of approximately <em>3.27·10²³ atoms of O</em>.
Remember....
mass number= atomic number + number of neutrons
If the mass number is 19 and the atomic number is 9, then the number of neutrons is 19-9 which is 10.
The appropriate answer is d. the high specific heat capacity of water. This unique quality of water makes it suitable as an organic solvent. Specific heat capacity is the energy required to change one gram of a substance by one degree. Organic processes need to be carried out at a specific temperature. The high specific heat capacity of water ensures that environmental changes in temperature.
