How many moles of Si are in 78.0 grams of silicon

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.78 \ mol \ Si}}}

Explanation:

To convert from grams to moles, we must use the molar mass. This number can be found on the Periodic Table.

  • Si (Silicon): 28.085 g/mol

We can use number as a ratio.

\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{ 1  \ mol \ Si}

Multiply by the given number of grams.

78.0 \ g \ Si *\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{ 1  \ mol \ Si}

Flip the fraction so the grams of silicon cancel.

78.0 \ g \ Si *\frac {1  \ mol \ Si }{ 28.085 \ g \ Si}

78.0  *\frac {1  \ mol \ Si }{ 28.085 }

\frac {78.0  \ mol \ Si }{ 28.085 }= 2.77728324729 \ mol \ Si

The original number of grams (78.0) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number of moles calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 7 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 7 to a 8.

2.78 \ mol \ Si

There are about 2.78 moles of silicon in 78.0 grams.

Which of the following describes a property of water that helps sustain marine life forms?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
  • This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
  • This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.
