Answer:

When the solar wind gets past the magnetic field and travels towards the Earth, it runs into the atmosphere .As the protons and electrons from the solar wind hit the particles in the Earth's atmosphere, they release energy – and this is what causes the northern lights.

How many particles are in 3.2 mole of neon gas
Cerrena [4.2K]

There are 1.93 x 10²⁴ particles

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

3.2 moles of Neon gas

Required

Number of particles

Solution

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance  

<em>1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles </em>

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

So the number of particles for 3.2 moles :

N = 3.2 x 6.02.10²³

N = 1.93 x 10²⁴

or

we can describe it using Avogadro's number conversion factor

\tt 3.2~moles\times \dfrac{6.02\times 10^{23}}{1~mole}=1.93\times 10^{24}

A sample of C3H8 has 6.72 x 10^24 H atoms. <br> What is the total mass of the sample?
gregori [183]
The answer is 492.8 g


1. Calculate a number of moles of a sample.
2. Calculate a molar mass of C3H8.
3. Calculate a mass of the sample. 

1. Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance: 6.023 × 10²³ units per 1 mole    

6.023 × 10²³ atoms : 1 mol =6.72 × 10²⁴ atoms : n

n = 6.72 × 10²⁴ atoms * 1 mol : 6.023 × 10²³ atoms = 1.12 × 10 mol = 11.2 mol


2. Molar mass (Mr) of C3H8 is sum of atomic masses (Ar) of its elements:

Ar(C) = 12 g/mol

Ar(H) = 1 g/mol

Mr(C3H8) = 3 * Ar(C) + 8 * Ar(H) = 3 * 12 + 8 * 1 = 36 + 8 = 44 g/mol



3. Mass (m) of a sample is number of moles (n) multiplied by molar mass (Mr) of C3H8:

m = n * Mr = 11.2 mol * 44 g/mol = 492.8 g
