Answer:

B 1.87×10^-²

Explanation:

20.1797 g Neon = 1 mol

0.378 g Neon = y

(Cross multiply)

20.1797y= 0.378 x 1

(Make y the subject of the formula)

y = 0.878/ 20.1787

y = 0.0187317

y = 0.0187 approx

y = 1.87 x 10^-²

The correct answer is D. 1.13 x 10^22 atoms are present in 0.378 g of neon. Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23) gives the ratio of representative particles per mole of substance. For every mole of substance, there are 6.022 x 10^23 representative particles present. Since 0.378 g of neon is less than one mole of neon, the answer should be less than Avogadro's number, which makes option D a logical answer.

Further Explanation:

To get the number of atoms present in 0.378 g of neon the following steps must be done:

  1. Convert the mass of neon into moles.
  2. Use Avogadro's number to get the number of atoms present in the given moles of neon.

STEP 1: Convert 0.378 g of Neon to moles of Neon

moles \ of \ neon \ = 0.378 \ g \ Ne (\frac{1 \ mol \ Ne}{20.1797 \ g \ Ne})\\\\\boxed {moles \ of \ Ne \ = 0.018732 \ mol}

STEP 2: Use Avogadro's number to calculate the number of atoms of Ne

no. \ of \ atoms \ Ne \ = 0.018732 \ mol \ Ne \ (\frac{6.022 \ x \ 10^{23} \ Ne \ atoms}{1 \ mol \ Ne})\\\\ no. \ of \ atoms \ Ne \ = 1.128 \ x \ 10^{22} \ atoms

Since the given, 0.378 g has 3 significant figures, the final answer must also have 3 significant figures. Therefore,

\boxed {no. \ of \ atoms \ Ne \ = 1.13 \ x \ 10^{22} \ atoms}

A. 6.02 x 10^23 atoms is FALSE because the given amount of neon is less than one mole. Hence, the number of atoms cannot be equal to Avogadro's number.

B. 1.187 x 10^-2 atoms is FALSE because atoms are very very small particles. It will require a large number of atoms to make up something that is measurable like a 0.378 g sample of neon. Having less than 1 atom to make up this much sample is not logical.

C. 2.28 x 10^23 atoms is FALSE because this much atoms make up 0.3781 mol of Neon but the given is 0.378 <u>grams</u> not moles of Ne.

D. 1.13 x 10^22 atoms is TRUE because the value is less than 6.022 x 10^23 which is logical since the sample is less than 1 mole.

When body temperature rises during physical activity, which thermoregulatory response is stimulated?
navik [9.2K]

Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism

Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.
