<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 25.0 g Au

[Solve] moles Au

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of Au - 196.97 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                     \displaystyle 25.0 \ g \ Au(\frac{1 \ mol \ Au}{196.97 \ g \ Au})
  2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units:                                                          \displaystyle 0.126923 \ mol \ Au

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

0.126923 mol Au ≈ 0.127 mol Au

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.127 \ mol \ Au}}

Explanation:

To convert from mass to moles, the molar mass must be used. This can be found on the Periodic Table.

  • Gold (Au): 196.96657 g/mol

Use this number as a ratio.

\frac {196.96657 \ g\ Au }{1 \ mol \ Au}

Multiply by the given number of grams.

25.0 \ g \ Au*\frac {196.96657 \ g\ Au }{1 \ mol \ Au}

Flip the fraction so the grams of gold will cancel.

25.0 \ g \ Au*\frac {1 \ mol \ Au}{196.96657 \ g\ Au }

25.0*\frac {1 \ mol \ Au}{196.96657  }

\frac {25.0 \ mol \ Au}{196.96657  }

0.1269250919 \ mol \ Au

The original measurement has 3 significant figures, so the answer must have the same. For the number we calculated that is the thousandth place. The 9 in the ten thousandth place tells us to round the 6 to a 7.

0.127 \ mol \ Au

25.0 grams of gold is about 0.127 moles of gold.

How could you engineer a device that produces beneficial friction and heat?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

That's why rubbing your hands together makes them warmer. ... Friction causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster, so they have more energy. This gives them a higher temperature, and they feel warmer. Heat from friction can be useful.
