Calculate the molar mass of aspirin, C9H8O4

1 answer:

8 0

Add up all the molar masses of the elements multiplied by the number of atoms each.

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01g
Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01g
Molar mass of oxygen = 16g

9(12.01) + 8(1.01) + 4(16)
Molar mass of aspirin = 180.17g

No because it is a gas so (in space) so, it would most likely stay in one place. Your welcome!

Which isotope is used to date ancient artifacts such as fossils?

RideAnS [48]

Scientists use carbon-14 to date ancient fossils.

Plants and animals absorb carbon-14 produced by cosmic rays. The ratio of C-14 to C-12 is constant when they are alive.

When they die, the C-14 decays to C-12, and the ratio changes.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. Thus, the object loses half its C-14 every 5730 years.

Scientists can use the C-14 to C-12 ratio to date fossils up to 70 000 years old.

Answer:

Synthesis :SO3 + H2O —> H2SO4

Single displacement : Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaI —> PbI2 + 2NaNO3

Decomposition : CaCO3 —> CaO + CO2

Combustion : 2ZnS + O2 —> 2ZnO + 2S

How many atoms are there in 8.88 g Si?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in 8.88 grams of silicon.

<h3>1. Grams to Moles </h3>

First, we convert grams to moles. We use the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. These values are found on the Periodic Table as they are equal to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up silicon's molar mass.

Si: 28.085 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a conversion factor with the molar mass.

$\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

We are converting 8.88 grams of silicon to moles, so we multiply by this value.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of silicon cancel.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 \ g \ Si}$

$8.88 *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 }$

$\frac {8.88} { 28.085 } \ mol \ Si$

$0.316183015845 \ mol \ Si$

<h3>2. Moles to Atoms </h3>

Next, we convert moles to atoms. We use Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of silicon.

Set up another conversion factor.

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$
