Tin has ten stable isotopes. The heaviest, 124Sn, makes up 5.80% of naturally occuring tin atoms. How many atoms of 124Sn are pr
1 answer:
The average atomic mass of Sn is 118.71 g/mol
the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%
the given mass of Sn is 82g
The total moles of Sn will be = mass / atomic mass = 82/118.71=0.691
Total atoms of Sn in 82g =
the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%
So the total atoms of = 5.80% X
Total atoms of =
atoms
the mass of will be =

Explanation:
We are asked to convert an amount in grams to moles. To do this, we use the molar mass. This is the number of grams in one mole of a substance. It is the same value numerically as the atomic mass on the Periodic Table, however the units are grams per mole, not atomic mass units.
Look up the molar masses for the individual elements.
- Sodium (Na): 22.9897693 g/mol
- Oxygen (O): 15.999 g/mol
Look back at the formula: Na₂O. Notice there is a subscript of 2 after sodium. This means there are 2 atoms of sodium in every molecule, so we have to multiply sodium's molar mass by 2 before adding oxygen's.
- Na₂O: 2(22.9897693 g/mol)+ 15.999 g/mol = 61.9785386 g/mol
Set up a ratio using the molar mass.
Multiply by the given number of grams.
Flip the ratio so the grams of sodium oxide can cancel each other out.
The original measurement of grams given has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place.
- 2.48<u>4</u>73106141
The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 8.
There are <u>2.48 moles of sodium oxide</u> in 154 grams, so choice A is correct.
