A farmer is breeding his best livestock is and example of?

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.

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

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

$0.316183015845\ mol \ Si *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

The units of moles of silicon cancel.

$0.316183015845 * \frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1}$

$0.316183015845 * {{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}$

$1.90405412 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si$

<h3>3. Significant Figures</h3>

The original measurement of 8.88 grams has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 0 in the hundredth place.

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

<u>8.88 grams of silicon contains 1.90 ×10²³ atoms of silicon.</u>

Why might a geologist ask an analytical chemist to help identify the minerals in a rock.

Stels [109]

A geologist would ask the analytical chemist to identify the rock's composition. Chemists gather data from afar and analyze matter back to earth.

<h3>Who is a geologist ?</h3>

A geologist is a scientist who focuses on the processes that shape terrestrial planets and the solid, liquid, and gaseous stuff that makes up Earth. Although training in physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences are sometimes helpful, geologists typically pursue geology as their field of study. Geology includes a significant amount of field study (field work), even if many of its subdisciplines also involve laboratory and computer work.

Geologists look for natural resources like oil, gas, precious and base metals in the energy and mining industries. They are also in the vanguard of efforts to prevent and lessen the effects of natural disasters and hazards like earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and landslides.
