The Atacama Desert is a plateau in South America.
Covering a 1,000-kilometre strip of land on the Pacific coast.
West of the Andes mountains. It is the driest non-polar desert in the world.
In the late 1800s, Chile and Bolivia disputed this land in the Guerra del Pacífico (War of the Pacific) becaue both countries claimed to be rightful owners of this region that.
During the day, temperatures in the desert can reach around 40º C (104º F).
1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine
Explanation:
Chlorine gas (#Cl_2#) has two atoms of elemental chlorine in a molecule, so:
#1# mol of #Cl_2# have #6*10^23# molecules of #Cl_2#
#1# molecule of #Cl_2# have #2# atoms per molucule
Then #2*6*10^23 = 1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine in a mol of chlorine gas
