Chemistry
1 answer:
zubka84 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D. Malleability

Explanation:

Gold is made up of the element Au and it is a metal.

Pyrite is iron sulfide and it is a non-metal.

  • They have very similar appearance to such an extent that pyrite is widely called the fool's gold.
  • To distinguish between the two, we simply explore their metallic properties.
  • Gold is malleable. Pyrite is not. It will crumble under pressure.

What is the total number of oxygen atoms represented in the formula na2c03.10h2o?
Wewaii [24]

As per the given chemical formula- Na2CO3.10H2O, one mole of the chemical compound contains 13 moles of oxygen atoms. Hence

Number of moles of oxygen atoms in one mole of Na2CO3.10H2O = 13

number of moles of oxygen atoms in 0.2 moles of Na2CO3.10H2O = 13 X 0.2 = 2.6

Now, one mole of a substance contains 6.022 X 10^23 particles of the substance. Thus

number of atoms of oxygen in one mole of oxygen atom = 6.022 X 10^23

number of moles of oxygen atoms in 2.6 moles of oxygen atoms = 2.6 X 6.022 X 10^23 = 15.657 X 10^23

= 1.566 X 10^24

Thus, there are 1.566 X 10^24 atoms of oxygen in 0.2 moles of Na2CO3.10H2O.
