Show your work and include answer with units. How many atoms in 55 grams of magnesium

Chemistry

Georgia [21]3 years ago

Answer:

1.38 x 10^{24} atoms

Explanation:

To get grams to atoms/molecules/particles we need to first convert grams > moles > atoms. This also applies in the other direction, where you have moles as that stepping stone.

Some key information we need:

Magnesium's molar mass= 24g/mol

Avogadro's Number= 6.022 x 10^{23} atoms

Where there is 1 mol per 6.022 x 10^{23}  atoms

*This maybe be something you want to memorize.

Grams to moles using molar mass , then to atoms using avogadro's number.

55g Mg x \frac{1 mol}{24g/mol} x \frac{6.022 x 10^{23} atoms }{1 mol} = 1.38 x 10^{24} atoms

0.415 g of an unknown triprotic acid are used to make a 100.00 mL solution. Then 25.00 mL of this solution is transferred to an
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial burette reading = 1.81 mL

final burette reading = 39.7 mL

volume of NaOH used = 39.7 - 1.81 = 37.89 mL .  

37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH is used to neutralise triprotic acid

No of moles contained by 37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH

= .03789 x .1029 moles

= 3.89 x 10⁻³ moles

Since acid is triprotic ,  its equivalent weight = molecular weight / 3

No of moles of triprotic acid = 3.89 x 10⁻³ / 3

= 1.30   x 10⁻³ moles .

The basic building blocks of a protein are
snow_lady [41]


The building  blocks of protein are amino acids.

Amino acids are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH2, and carboxyl group, -COOH.

Alpha amino acids , RCH(NH2)COOH, are the building blocks  from which proteins are constructed.

The NH group of one amino acid and the COOH  group of the other amino acid are joined together and a peptide bond -CONH-  is formed between the two amino acids and the product is called a dipeptide.
